Doll Restyle - Tumblr Posts

Dollightful's newest Doll creation Valentine! 🫶🩷

My Catty Noir restyle!! I made all the clothes myself :))

Thrifted this Melody Piper and restyled her!! Love how she looks now :)

Sewing doll clothes!!

Tights/fishnets!

Tights make any outfit look cool. This is a really easy beginner project. Let’s make some! (I recommend reading through the whole post before starting!!)

Start by finding the doll you want to make tights for and a roll to plastic/cling wrap. (I’m using a Barbie, but you can use any doll!)

Cut a small rectangle, enough that you can wrap this around the doll’s leg and have extra on the side

Get the doll’s leg on the plastic wrap, over to one side. Then, you’re going to fold it over the dolls leg to cover it completely. It should fold like a U, touching but not wrapping around. DO NOT USE THE EXCESS TO WRAP AROUND THE EDGES!!

Move the excess plastic to the back of the leg (this is where the seam will be when we sew)

If it helps you, draw a line where the plastic wrap connects to each other. Cut the plastic where your line is

Take the plastic off the dolls leg and place it on a piece of paper, then trace. It doesn’t have to be perfect, mine is quite lopsided!

Cut your pattern out!

(Sorry for the pattern looking like this lmao) fold your pattern in half, then find the half thats smaller. Make a line like the photo above, and cut! Congrats, You will have a symmetrical pattern for doll tights!!

If something doesn’t make sense, just ask! I’m happy to help :))

Part 2 soon bc I hit the photo limit :)

Tights/fishnets pt.3

Finishing the tights!!

Cut all the extra strings on the tights (do this right now before you inside-out the tights)

Inside-out the tights!!

Try the tights on your doll!! Mine could have been shorter and have tighter ankles, but you can change your pattern to fix any of your problems!!

Now your dolls are very stylish!!

Any questions are welcome!! :))

Sewing doll clothes

Tight skirt

A tight skirt pattern!! I recommend reading through the whole post before starting!!

(TW: pins/needles)

You need:

-a doll (I have an ever after high doll)

-Knit/jersey fabric (any 4 way stretch fabric)

-paper

-marker/pen/pencil

-sewing machine (with thread!!)

-scissors

-pins

First, grab your doll!! I have an ever after high doll, but this works for any doll. Then, draw around your dolls hips just like in the picture. You can then make you skirt any length you want

Move your doll away, and add 1/8th” seam allowance to the top and bottom of the pattern

Cut your pattern out!!!

Find your fabric!! It needs to stretch up and down and left to right!! Jersey/knit/spandex is good

Fold your fabric over and pin your pattern to your fabric

Cut your fabric and you will have 2 pieces!

Next, take the top of one of the pieces and fold the fabric over a bit (look at the picture above)

Then pin. Do that to the bottom and the second piece of fabric too (hopefully it will look like the photo)

Use paper under your sewing so your pieces don’t get eaten by the sewing machine!!

Sew!! Sew both the top and bottom folded parts on both pieces!!

Pt. 2 !! Hit the photo limit :((

If something doesn’t make sense, ask!!

Sewing doll clothes

Tight skirt pt.2

Tight skirt! You will NEED to read the first post to understand this one! As always, read the whole post before you start!!

Rip your pieces out of the paper!!

Now, match the top and bottom together, putting the two “pretty” sides together (the sides that are hemmed and nice) and pin them together

Sew the two sides in the photo (un-hemmed sides)

Rip the skirt from the paper and trim all excess threads

Then inside-out the skirt!!

Now you have a skirt!!

Questions welcome!! Enjoy :)))

Another melody restyle!

A little redress of catty!

The dress really goes well with her skin but not so much with the pink hair + nails :/

Still absolutely in love with catty, might be my favourite g3 doll :P

A shirt and dress for Meowlidy <3

A mock-up of an outfit for Draculaura, still need to fix the pattern a bit … sometimes making your own patterns is hard ://

WIP Draculaura outfit!

Both the shirt and pants were made with @cosmomoore ‘s patterns! (Thank you!!)

For garden mysteries Draculaura (as usual :3) I can’t wait to get my claws on her when she comes to Canada!! (More details under the cut!)

I worked so hard on these pants!! The lace on the bottom, the embroidery, the star chain… I did such a good job :)))) She’s going to wear a different shirt tho, I just haven’t made it yet :P
