Where to find patterns for making Fashion Doll Clothes

Greetings lovely doll friends! So I was chatting with a friend recently about sewing dolls clothes, and it occurred to me that not everyone knows where to go to find patterns for that. So I decided now was the perfect time to share my sideblog for dolls in public with a resource post on this topic. I want my sideblog to be a resource for customizers and doll enthusiasts everywhere, so if you’re on Tumblr and ever have questions, don’t hesitate to stop by! Drop something in my askbox, I’d love to chat and answer.

Paid-For Patterns:

Requiem Arts: https://raddollclothes.com/

This is one of the big go-to’s of the community. Requiem Arts has patterns for so many different fashion dolls, from Monster High (G1 and G3) to Rainbow High, to a number of BJDs, to Barbies, and even several for the boy dolls. I’ve gone to them for many a Descendants pattern since not a lot of places offer them. Her blog also features a number of great posts on size differences between dolls, fixing articulation, and more.

Dollightful: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DollightfulPatterns

If you need Monster High and Ever After High patterns with easy to follow instructions, this is the place to go! Dollightful only has a handful of patterns up, but her instructions are super easy to follow. They’re just as enjoyable as her YouTube videos. Fun fact, the doll in the photo for this post (Elara) is a custom I made using her Medieval Corset Pattern.

Moonlight Jewel: https://moonlightjeweldolls.myshopify.com/collections/ebooks

This artist has an interesting mix of patterns for fashion dolls, once again it’s a lot of Monster High, but also a little bit of Rainbow High. I have her two pattern books, and they’ve got some wonderful picture instructions that put into perspective how to follow along. I hadn’t realized until making this post that she’s released a couple of individual patterns from her YouTube videos, that’s really cool!

Enchanterium: https://www.enchanterium.com/shop

The Enchanterium sisters are a delight, and their patterns for MH, EAH, and Smart Dolls encompass a wide variety of genres. They even have some 3D printing files for shoes and accessories.

Cosmomoore: https://ko-fi.com/cosmomoore/shop/sewingpatterns

Cosmomoore is great if you need patterns for Rainbow High, Barbie, or G3 Monster High. All of the G3 patterns are under the Creepy Class tag. I’ve tried their skirt pattern for G3 Draculaura, it was a breeze to put together when you know a few basic stitches.

Free Patterns:

Enchanterium: https://www.enchanterium.com/shop/freebies

Enchanterium offers a number of freebies at this link! Most of them are patterns from their older YouTube videos, so there’s those as a resource to follow along with.

Cosmomoore: https://ko-fi.com/cosmomoore/shop/sewingpatterns

Once again, this artist has a number of freebies, but they don’t have a specific tag.

Poulpe en Ciel’s Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1lkI6inme4K6wxw0IqTSGGju2bIQMln_A

This artist is known for having some truly extravagant patterns for Monster High and Cave Club dolls. And she offers them in both English and French! Highly recommend checking out Poulpe on Instagram, her dolls are absolutely to die for, and she puts so much heart into making her stuff accessible for the wider community.

Chellywood: https://chellywood.com/

Chellywood’s website is a diamond in the rough. If you’re looking for a doll pattern for a doll most people don’t make patterns for, Chelly probably has it. Her website is organized by size and goes into individualized pages for each doll line. It’s fantastic. And on top of that, she has YouTube videos!

MyFroggyStuff: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOJWM4ft-CgHQI3fhqNJzWLG30C45Xl3xs-tgatId430gKVW-J8w5cB9ViW2jRPFw?pli=1&key=Y2Y2UDJ6S01Gb2EwUHRZUVJDdm9FanpMdDZzY1RR

Barbie lovers rejoice, this is your kingdom! While there’s no tagging system here, Toya has patterns for everything, from mermaid tails to cute easy dresses, this is a great place to go. Her YouTube channel is also an endless resource of creativity.

If you have any resources for patterns, or for places to buy doll clothing, feel free to share in the comments! I’d love to include more people from our lovely doll community so people know about them!
