Clothing?
Like I haven't even bought my mini doll yet. However I've been thinking a lot about the clothing. The lingerie is easy to find on we websites that you buy them. Yet regular clothing. pants, shorts, shirts, etc is elusive or am I just not looking in the right places?
I looked on this forum down and some recommended websites like ebay but this guy is out. AMY-COUTURE-SHOP For some reason I'm not finding much when I look on ebay...
Anyways, how easy is it to home make clothing for a beginner?
I guess that's the massive downside to mini dolls. The full sized one you can just go to any store and get clothing for.

Re: Clothing?
There's a sticky in this forum with some website that sell clothing for miniature dolls.
What continent are you on? http://www.machinegun.fr (french) sell Phicen dolls, and also some regular clothes for them, last time I looked there. Which is quite a while ago.
Don't forget to take a look at my girlfriend Juliana.
My Lexi visits lots of places. Allison is featuring in her travels. Allison has her own thread too.

If you can't sew, you can get some stick-on Velcrow, cut the tops up the back which don't fit very well and just use the Velcrow to fasten them! I'm sure she won't stay in them for long anyway!
Look at the original dimensions of the doll and see what range they come in. Google can help on women's and children's clothes sizes so at least you know what she is! I'm getting a WM168 Nava as she's skinny. I didn't realise how skinny till I looked at the dimensions and even though she's tall, she's in a range that a 10yr old could be in (UK4, EU32, US 1). That helped me a lot in starting to look.
If you're worried about browsing in shops it also helps if you know what size you're looking for (like in Pretty Woman, for your niece of course). It gets easier, so just get a few to start and you'll have more enjoyment later finding new stuff!

I do own two 60cm Tokyo dolls. Sure it's hard to find nice clothing. Look for clothing for BJDs. There's quite a lot but it's expensive.
I bought some clothes at a local shop specialised in BJD stuff. Only problem is that most BJDs are more thin than my Tokyo dolls (these BJDs all suffer from anorexia ).
