All of the patterns included in the many Dress Shop optional collections and pattern packets will also draft properly with doll measurements. So, add any other patterns that you like.

The measurements needed for many popular hard or soft sided dolls are provided for you. If you do not find your doll in this list, though, you can take the measurements needed yourself. Either way, your patterns will all be drafted to the measurements you use, providing a consistent fit for garment after garment.

If you doll is not on the list, don't despair! Many doll bodies are similarly proportioned. The new Tiny Kitty doll (10") for instance, can use patterns made for the Tyler Wentworth doll, reduced in size by 65%. Doll Deluxe will make those adjustments for you automatically. Just select a doll you think is similar to yours, enter your doll's actual height and all measurements will be adjusted for that height. There you go, patterns to fit your doll without having to measure her yourself!

When you make your own soft sided doll, you can choose the size you want and fully customize the eyes, nose, and mouth to your preferences or even to match the look of a child you wish to give the doll to. Missing teeth, braces, freckles, and many variations in color and features are included.

Facial art can be applied to your doll by iron-on transfer of the colored art. Or, you can transfer just the outlines and paint it or embroider it yourself.

Pre-digitized art for these auto-embroidery machines (and any others that can use compatible artwork) is included: Brother, Husqvarna, Janome, Pfaff, Singer, Tajima, and Toyota.

Once you have chosen the size and facial features, you can then print out the pattern for your doll.

Clear and simple assembly instructions walk you through the process of building your doll. No experience is assumed or needed, yet you'll find yourself making gorgeous dolls in no time.

Once you have chosen or made the doll you will sew for, then you can choose the clothing you want. Skirts, blouses, dresses, pants, coats, jackets, sportswear, even lingerie - the choices are as complete as for our full Dress Shop product. Options for sleeves, necklines, darts, closure, length, collars and such are also as varied and flexible as in our other pattern making products. And, every pattern, every option will be tailored to the measurements you have chosen.
