New member here. I have been a lurker for a couple months and am looking to sell doll clothes. I am also looking into other things to sell such as wigs and such. currently doing research on selling my products and in doing so ive found that I really enjoy Dolls and love reading the forums.

I buy my doll clothes from shops offering clothing for women.

The last two choices are the same; I assume you mean " Often - From vendors outside of TDF " for the 5th line?

It is hard to find affordable wigs that fit dolls about 140cm and under unless you shop in the kids areas. Might be an underserved market there, you have to be careful though that the styles are adult cuts on adult looking heads for small dolls or else you won't be able to post the pics on any Doll forums. Best of luck

I buy regular womens clothes for my dolls often, mainly outside TDF but also through a vendor here on TDF, Galmato Haven's Doll Fit service

If you want to make doll clothes, there's a very large untapped marked for non staining clothes. Both silicone and TPE dolls can get stained from dark colours. If you were able to make clothes that wouldn't stain or were lined with white material, I think quite a few would be interested. Add in smaller sizes and you could be onto a winner. Most TDF vendors sell just dolls, not clothes.

Welcome on TDF,

Quite often I buy clothes, wigs and jewelry. Much less often shoes. For clothes I have to cut them because I have a small doll and the choice is quite limited: difficult to find sexy stuff in the children's department! I supplied myself in China to find small sizes and adapt them.

Justin, thank you for the insight. Would you mind telling me about how small? Or give me an example of dimensions. =)

I am talking about dolls about 140 cm in size. They are between the mini (about 100 cm) and the standard sizes (> 150 cm). For example, I have an OR 138 whose exact measurements can be found here:
OR 138 measurements
In the same category of size is the WM140, IT145 or Sanhui 145.
They are all small dolls, with an adult body but but whose clothes size corresponds more to that of a 10/12 year old child. So, difficult to find for this dolls, clothes having an adult look.

I would totally be interested in a shop that makes clothes for dolls. As a lot of womens clothes don't fit smaller dolls like 110cm etc. And it would be even better if your clothes do not stain.

Good advice Justin! Dressing up the smaller dolls to resemble "sailor moon" or other such characters (schoolgirl outfits, cheerleader costumes, etc.) only tends to make them look more juvenile than many already look.

I second the notion of specializing in non-staining doll clothes...I'd be all over that!

A lot of great suggestions here. Especially about non-staining clothes and clothes for smaller dolls.
I don't know if it's feasible, but a clothing customization service would also be nice as some dolls have very unusual dimensions and it can make finding things for them extremely difficult.
