I design and make all my doll fashions by hand. Most are one-of-a-kind but I sometimes make several versions of a design. Those are very small editions because I’m always eager to move on to the next project.
I always use fine fabrics and heirloom sewing methods — I want my doll fashions to be intricate but sturdy, and to age beautifully.
I sell my doll fashions in my Etsy shop and sometimes on eBay. I am occasionally able to accept commissions. Refer to my “Sales” page for links to items that are currently available. Please contact me if you would like to discuss a commission.
Most of my fashions are made for Asian Ball Jointed Dolls. They are dolls sculpted by Asian artists that are cast in urethane resin and then sold to be finished and customized by other artists. They have become popular worldwide, so there are now artists all over the world who are sculpting and marketing fabulous dolls. If you would like to learn more about ball jointed dolls, there is an excellent overview on Wikipedia
Fashions designated as “SD – 1/3” are for dolls that are about 60 centimeters or 24 inches tall, “MSD – 1/4” are for dolls that are about 45 centimeters or 17 inches tall, and the “Petite – Tiny – 1/6 ” fashions are for smaller dolls that range from 12″ to 4″ tall.

Perky Pleated Mini (SD – 1/3)
This cotton fabric inspired this mini dress. It is such a light-hearted print.
Jett & Pearl (SD – 1/3)
I found this lovely polyester chiffon with a black embroidered border and designed this outfit with a crocheted top. I can’t crochet, so I commissioned Auguste Tiefenbach to crochet the tops for me. I hand stitched a lining into them of black 4-way stretch cotton and added pearl accents. It fastens to the skirt with several hooks so it can be worn with the skirt or separately.

Bloom (Tiny – 1/6)
This dress is a flower in full bloom. The bodice is silk velvet and her skirt is made of petals and netting. The glass beads under her skirt are the stamens.
