Two mushroom pockets dress for Blythe by theFuture @ Etsy.

She’s one of my favorite Blythe designers, she recently updated her shop with a whole bunch of wonderful items, and if you’re any familiar with her creations you know that everything sold very, very quickly. Seriously, if you’re not in front of the computer when she’s listing her items, it’s already too late. You’ve missed theFuture.

It’s the strangest thing. She’ll be updating her shop, most of it will sell within minutes, then a few hours later there’ll be nothing left but a couple of items that will mysteriously stay there for some time…

As I am writing this for instance there’s only one of these cute mushroom pockets dresses left, it’s pink – she says “peach” but on my screen it looks pink though – with brown mushroom pockets and it is the sweetest thing ever !

Cute short dress for Blythe by Miema.

I am in love with this sweet short dress by Miema. I just love the fabric ! I think it’s very sophisticated, very fresh, and the shape of the dress while very simple is still very girly.

In her shop, Miema pictures the dress worn on top of a long-sleeved sweater and with pants, but I think it just needs to be worn alone, as it is.

Silk cocktail dress by misswrenn @ Etsy.

If she were a “Desperate Housewive”, she would definitely be Bree Van de Kamp (remember when she was a successful cookbook author ?) but the inspiration for those wonderful little cocktail dresses lies probably as much in those 50′s movies where stars such as Grace Kelly, Liz Taylor or Lauren Bacall would be feminine & graceful in just every occasion…

Notice how even the color takes us back to those years !

Fur Parka for Blythe by Mllesdepaulinou @ Etsy.

They might try to fool us with “Project Runway All Stars” – no Heidi Klum (you know how I love Heidi !), no Tim Gunn, come on… (Michael Kors), it’s just sad (Nina Garcia) – while we all know that the truly Special Edition of Project Runway can only be “Project Runway Blythe Dolls” !

Now according to this photograph, it might already have begun, somewhere in France… Look how nice & cosy the “Brother Sewing Room” seems to be ! We have yet to see the l’Oreal make-up salon, but our model here looks flawless, so young & fresh…

Flower Birds – Long Sleeve Dress for Blythe by pei78.

I am cursed.

I see no other explanation for every time I am quite sure I am through with this blog, I have made up my mind finally, other matters await me, matters of greater importance, grander than dolls clothes – I am a grown up woman you see – I am a grown up woman and I have designed the most amazing and exciting goals for myself so do I really want to spend some more time writing about dolls, writing about Blythe clothes, surely no there are better ways for me to spend my life. So just as I determine I shall no longer write here but rather focus on the other fascinating things I have set my mind on, there it will get me, there I’ll see it, the perfect little Blythe dress. I’ll see it and it stops me and everything I am doing. Now I must share it. Now I must write. I must post it on the blog. Look. Look how marvelous the shape, the fabrics, the colors are… Look…

I am cursed I am telling you.

Bright Blue Ready for Spring Dress for Blythe OOAK by academybeldam.

Although they are not my all time favorite shape of dresses, academybeldam’s creations for Blythe dolls are very pretty. In fact they are kind of exemplar of the typical Blythe dress. She constantly manages to find some new fabrics, usually on the “kawaï” side, and you can see by browsing through the sold section of her shop that she has a wide variety of those.

Today she listed this wonderful ooak blue dress and I absolutely love it. And as I like to quote what sellers say of their items, here’s what she writes :

This dress is made of imported Japanese fabric. It has a fabulous Spring-y blue theme. What a lovely vintage feel! I’ve added blue mini-pom pom, a blue polka dot sash with pearlized buckle and a teensy little aqua button. Spring has sprung!

I have also included a photo of the full dress with the blue pom pom.

Ivory Lace Cocktail Blythe Dress by Gorgeous Blythe.

Seems like a long time ago now when all we could find to dress our dolls were Empire dresses or, if we kept looking, some more Empire dresses… There were some alternatives mind you and I have written about those, but still it got to a point where it was really hard to even appreciate the beautiful ones.

Now the Blythe community being so alive and creative, each day brings more variety into our girls’ wardrobes, and even though there may be a major trend, a trend where Blythe dolls are generally “cute” and “girly”, still we learn they can have wildly different styles.

As for instance with Tati’s dresses @ Gorgeous Blythe. Those are surely for the “ladies” in our dolls, they’re more evening – or cocktail – dresses than your everyday or casual ones, and my guess is we won’t see many mushrooms around here…

To be honest they’re not exactly the type of clothes my dolls like to wear, but this layered ivory cocktail dress is quite nice although since I’m not much into lace I really prefer the blue or Royal Green one she made – plus the color is beautiful and much more interesting – but the photo of this one fit better here.

(I can be picky that way.)

Yellow Bird by La Petite Pomme Frite.

Giselle @ La Petite Pomme Frite has recently reopened her shop and the more I see her creations, the more I love what she does. She always has some very original items and this lovely pinafore is no exception. Plus her prices are so friendly, it is hard to resist.

Extract from La Petite Pomme Frite’s shop annoucement @ Etsy :

My focus right now is to bring in some fresh, original, well made clothing on the cheap, cause i know we are all feeling the pinch! Free shipping offered on most items too!

Blythe Babydoll Dress by Tachán – Tachán.

There are at this moment three adorable dresses for Blythe in Tachán – Tachán’s shop and I must say I have a very hard time deciding which one I like the most – not that I should actually have to reach a conclusion anyway – but I do like the color combo on this one.

I’ll give you the links for the other two so you can see for yourselves but if you like the color green, be sure to check on that very interesting Blythe Tartan Dress.

The other one is quite similar to that blue and yellow above but in green and pink.

They’re all a mix of cotton and felt.

Listras e Estrellas by Marcia Martinho.

When it comes to Blythe clothes, Flickr is probably the best resource there is and I discovered this beautiful turquoise set by Marcia Martinho in the fashion dolls * style pool.

This dress and hat are really fresh and cute especially in that wonderful turquoise color !
