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.

ooak blue dress for blythe by academybeldam
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.

revolution in fashion : down with the empire dress

lace cocktail dress for blythe doll by gorgeous blythe
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

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 !

candy colored rainbow dress by sugardoll

Rainbow Dress for Blythe by SugarDoll.

Spring is (almost) here and I spotted some very nice candy colored items for Blythe @ Etsy, so I’ll start a series here with this marvellous Rainbow Dress by SugarDoll.

I also very much like the white dress she has in her shop :


All in White.

It’s actually a very short dress, she’s listing it as a long shirt.

She can make those dresses in other colors. And as is more and more common among Blythe lovers, she also makes knitted items (dresses, hats…) for Lati Yellow dolls (see picture after the jump) or for Pocket Fairy dolls.

Cherry Dress by theFuture.

There are some cute adorable dresses for our Blythe dolls available at theFuture shop on Etsy at the moment. I really love this one but I have a thing for red so it is no great surprise.

The Bunnies mini dress as well as the Lovely Mice dress both have some really interesting vintage fabric. Actually, I love the Mice dress very very much !

I also like this Pink Dress with lace a lot. It is very simple and yet the lace gives it a very delicate and sophisticated feel.

Multicolor Handknit Dress by googoojue.

I’m not so fond of handknitted or crochet outfits for dolls, but I have always liked this multicolor short dress by googoojue a lot. Even though I am not a fashion addict, it inevitably makes me think of Missoni.

Patti Paisley Babydoll Dress by Plastic Fashion.

The shape of that dress is perfect with that paisley fabric, and honestly the lace trim is just the right detail…

moss felt jacket dress by la petite pomme frite

August 22, 2008 in dresses, jackets | No comments


Moss by La Petite Pomme Frite.

This is a very interesting item and once again proof of how creative people are when it comes to Blythe clothing. It is a jacket-dress, it is rather long (just below the knees) and personally I think it looks terrific ! Just love the color and the silhouette it makes.

A few minutes later…
Well now I like it so much, I even decided to buy it…

Besides this blue one, Ivanize Loureiro has three other felt dresses for Blythe in her shop. Colors are red, purple and green. All have motifs made with pearls.

Very cute !

Pleated Pink Gingham Dress by CannonBelle.

I absolutely love CannonBelle ‘s creations for Blythe dolls and especially her dresses. There are a couple of amazing ones at the moment in her shop, but this simple and beautiful pink gingham with a white embroidered trim at the bottom looks so perfect on her Hello Harvest I wish I could buy it for mine….
