Your favorite clothing companies?

[eptrauma]

I'm curious. What are everyone's favorite brands for doll clothing, and why? Personally, i'm a sucker for La Parasonel. I like my dolls to dress in styles that are either casual or vintage-y, and their clothes fit my style perfectly. Their casual clothing is stylish, their more fancy clothing often has historical, vintage, lolita and goth aspects without being over the top or costumey looking.

I also really like the couple of SD outfits i have from Amelie Taylor (Sugarmag). I wish she'd do more SD sized clothing! her outfits for Blythe are so diverse and cute, with really well chosen fabrics. I'd like to see her do more casual things for super dollfies.

My dream is to get some outfits from Anotherspace. (not the dollmore colab ones) I like how a lot of her (i'm assuming?) stuff looks so steampunk awesome.

[april]

My kids rarely do casual. They like some historical, some fantasy, some goth, some wild and crazy.

I buy quite a lot of DollHeart and Heisejinyao.

Odds and ends from Luts, Dollmore, and some Iplehouse and Souldoll...

And others from independent designers and seamstresses on DoA, ebay and their own websites (Dollovely, Wicked Stitchery, Violetfern, LadyMorghayne/Forest of Avalon, Tous Les Garcons, Tata's Paradise).

[Taco]

I like Cheery Doll a lot. It's well made and they sell a lot of seperates which I often prefer to whole outfits. I also like KK Work Shop for my girls and have picked up some stuff from Dollmore. Dollmore's sheer volume of stuff usually means I can find what I'm looking for.

[Bel]

I am a slavering Dollheart whore. LOVE.

[Anrui Ukimi]

I make most of my clan's clothes, but most of the stuff I've bought is from either Volks or Dollheart. Most clothing makers don't make the kind of stuff I'm looking for. :)

~Anrui

[Hellfrozeover]

I like Dollmore not only for their clothes but for their customer service. Being a bit of a blonde(on the inside at least), I managed to put in the wrong shipping info which they changed for me and informed me of politely instead of just leaving it and waiting for it to cause problems like some others might. They're also generous with their free gifts which really puts them high in my ratings.

[MugenShu]

DollHeart, Dream of Doll,Dollheart, Heisejinyao, Cheery Doll, Ajumapara, Milo and Another Space! To me these companies showcase some of the best outfits for my lovely dollies to wear! From Edgy to Victorian, these are simply just the best companies to me~

[nakitama]

Sadol and Cheerydoll!!!!!! Love that funky street style!!

[Malice Librarian]

If I had to choose only one, it'd be Dollheart. I love their elegant clothes and shoes (and wish they made Hound-sized stuff!)

I'm also fond of Dream of Doll, Heisejinyao, and some of the Luts and 4D clothes as well.

[Brightfires]

'Much love for Luts, 4D, Iple House and DollHeart over here... Well made items that are generally a good fit for my guys, both in terms of cut and style. I also have a fair few outfits for the the crew from Mini Orient and Kimono Japan.

[eptrauma]

I don't think i've ever even seen Heisejinyao clothing before. Can someone throw a link my way?

[Hellfrozeover]

Doll's Singing (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/DollsSinging_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQt Zkm) on Ebay sometimes has a Heise section. I completely forgot about Heise, her artwork and clothing are amazing!

[april]

I don't think i've ever even seen Heisejinyao clothing before. Can someone throw a link my way?

Main agent for Heisejinyao clothing and boots, etc is Amelia, who sells in the DoA Marketplace--
http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42422

Jeeryama sometimes sells Heisejinyao on ebay--

[Kim]

I am a complete sucker for Mio clothes. She has without a doubt the best fit I have ever seen in doll clothes and amazing fabric choices.

I also really like Ajumapama and Sadol stuff. I love bright, fun trendy clothes and they do a lot of great seperates you can mix and match. The fit on both is also great. I'm a real stickler for fit. I also like the Musedoll clothing I own, but it's very hit and miss. The one hoodie that is supposedly for SD girls fits my MSD boy.

[KeiCai]

I love Mio and Sadol; their pants are so well fitting and look fabulous. @__@

I'm also a big sucker for some Japanese/Korean designers like Jaggerstone Chic, Rollingdoll, A-life Garden, Anotherspace, etc.

[eveshka]

Luts, Dollheart, Heise, and Tonner (because Tonner Tyler and Brenda Starr stuff fits my Sharmin girls perfectly.)

I have not had good experiences with Sugarmag stuff fitting my girls, nor Volks. They run way too big for Luts. (Olivia's default jacket fits my Luts boys perfectly.)

[lin]

Dollheart, Luts, Cheerydoll, Iplehouse, Dollmore. I haven't bought anything from Mio, but I admire her work. I seriously need to start sewing for my dolls; I could spend a fortune at these places.

[Kim]

I have not had good experiences with Sugarmag stuff fitting my girls, nor Volks. They run way too big for Luts. (Olivia's default jacket fits my Luts boys perfectly.)

That would be the case because the SD16 girl body has broad shoulders the same size as the SD13 boy body. They can actually share tops and pants for the most part. SD16 girls are not the least bit petite like CP girls are.

[Kahli]

I love Domuya costumes. They are about the only complete "outfits" I've bought whole and used that way. Red Witch and Soul Catcher are two of my favorites.

I also love the quality of Volks outfits, a couple of my msd boys wear Volks suits.

[Em]

Would someone mind posting a link to Sadol's stuff? I'm quite intrigued!

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the link http://sadol.com though the site does seem to be down at the moment. Has the URL changed?

[Honooko]

I second Sadol; they have multiple sizes for their outfits, and really great pricing (once you translate from won -> USD XD) I'm also a big fan of Musedoll; very creative, high-quality stuff that fits Musedolls, DoT girls, and DD!

[girdethsvoice]

I've had very good luck with tees and shorts from eBay seller eachgirlnikita.
Haven't tried her fur wigs, though they look interesting too.

http://stores.ebay.com/Beachgirlnikitas-Guys-and-Dolls

[DollZine]

I sew my own clothes for my doll, but sometimes I shop from a company that has a certain dress I want or style. I'm not very picky. :D

[hoshinokachi264]

i love clothes from musedoll, DOD and iplehouse. but i have seem some pieces from artists in the forums that catch my eye.

mainly i want clothing from all of the more expensive stores O_O, because i can't afford it.

[crescentwinds]

I happen to buy lots of vintage Cissy/Revlon clothing for my girls. ^_^ I love that stuff.

[Merle]

Dollheart has fantastic looking and well made outfits for a very nice price point. Cheery doll is a little over priced for what you get IMHO. There are many individuals who make fantastic doll clothing and I buy lots that way too.

Of course, I have to add that Volks and Luts clothing is very nice and well made also.

[glass_mountain]

I love the quality of Volks clothes...but also like the Japanese seamstress Ospirit - though I can rarely afford her stuff! Dollheart are wonderful...and I would second comments about Beachgirlnikita, I found her stuff to be really nicely made and finished.

I still like Softly She Walks and Mio...but Mio can be quite difficult to order from due to her popularity!

[LadyCrow]

I make all Sydney's clothes,so I would have to say me...lol

[Stinkerbell]

I love Dollheart & Volks!

[Anavel]

Dollheart:)

[Faireyangel]

I really love Iplehouse clothing for my bigger boy and for the girls. For the smaller guys, I love to Dollmore. :D

[Lotte Rotten]

I personally ADORE the outfits that Dollheart makes- it's not only well-made, but the fabric and all the details of their outfits is to die for!

I <3 DH

[saranilla]

I prefer Luts, Volks, Sadol, Mio, Softly She Walks, MHD Designs just to name a few. Of course my pocketbook can't support most of them.:damnit

[Carolyn.S]

My favorites are Mio, Atelier Momoni, and Tanya Style.

Carolyn

[Jun]

I love 4D's stuff, and wish they did more in SD girl sizes.
I also love batchix's stuff (vintage-deconstructed 4tw!) and See No Evil.

[yiesha]

sooo much a fan of Sadol, Dollheart, Luts. Would really wanna try on Mio and Heise one day too. The details are just amazing all the time.

[Amet]

I have a lot of clothes from Luts, but that's just because the bulk of my dolls are their molds. The rest is mostly made up of clothing from sellers on DoA and stuff I've made myself.

[Echo]

My clothing purchases seem to be from all ends of the spectrum, but I'd say the top stores I shop (in this order) are: Dollheart, Dream of Doll, Dollmore (partly for their sheer quantity), Iplehouse, Anotherspace, Luts, Volks. My tastes though are mainly fantasy (like final fantasy type style-- ie: DOD's outfits or like DH's cat thief outfit) or punky. In addition, I have a major love for big, chunky, kick-butt boots. :3

[WaterValor]

I bought my doll's clothes from Dollmore, DollZone and Cheerydoll.

[Luckyl]

I recently have bought some commissioned pieces from aka spooky over at DOA which are very nice and two outfits from Dollzone that have really impressed me for the price.
One of the outfits was a MSD gown with a veiled hat that is just unbelievably detailed with fur on the hem, lace sleeves, satin and brocade fabric etc.

[Hatten]

Mio, 4D, Musedoll, (when things are in stock, they haven't had anything lately, and that's dissapointing) and a lot of independent designers including See No Evil and Her Delicate Strength.

[kathrynmary]

i only have yo-sd sized dolls or smaller. i do love anotherspace outfits though- i too like that steampunk look.

this is a great post btw im fairly new to bjd world and i find this very helpful!

[LauraJ]

While I enjoy looking at clothing from other companies, I prefer my own the best.

[Sameyu]

Dream of Doll and Heisejinyao. I'm a sucker for elegant fantasy clothes XD;;

[lemonsky]

I like some of Iplehouse's clothing, but I'm finding that I prefer to commission custom clothing rather than buy from company stores. :]

[delbelcoure]

I sew most of my doll clothes, but I get a lot of inspiration from

[Evil Kimba]

Another Space makes some really cool-looking clothing. I also love Dollheart for shoes.

[sakura-oki]

I really like Volks, Luts, KK Workshop, and Dollmore for my SD sized children. I will say though that i bought 2 dresses from Cotindoll and they are 2 of my absolute favorites.:D

For my MSD, he has mostly Volks and Friends to Be Made

For my Yo sized girl she mostly wears Effenbee

My tinies get away with Barbie clothing, and Cherishdoll has some cute outfits too (being that my little ones are Cherishdolls)

Hands down, Dollheart has the most awesome shoes. I wish they made them in my size.

[dementia]

I love Sadol, Anotherspace, Cool Cat, Musedoll, and I Am Pandora

Oh. And also some sellers in taobao

[puri]

I love La Parsonal as well but can't seem to find their website (if they have one T_T)

[Lien]

I love looking at the clothes, but I only really buy from Dollmore, La Parsonal, and Volks's independent doll clothes. I prefer historical clothes and just about anything you can find in a Kera or Gothic Lolita Bible, and I tend to make my own when I have the time.

[Elsewise]

Dollheart, hands down. I bought an outfit for Sou a long time ago, and it has a kilt thing. And the most wonderful pants ever. A kilt thing!

I want a kilt thing.

[kateb]

I looove the clothes from Glorydoll! Beautiful, antique-style. Yes. I like. I have no idea of the quality of them as I've not actually bought any (ahem-hem!!), but they are kinda pricey ... (not that that always equates with quality, as I'm sure we all know!)

I also like a lot of the boy's clothing from Souldoll. It's just ... like, normal. Y'know?

I'm having a lot of trouble finding clothes for my incoming girl. I've not really seen anything along the lines of what I'd like for her ... I think I might end up commissioning somebody; that'd be really cool ^__^ (I can't sew. At all). (Really).

[bugland]

my favourite companies are Dollmore and (don't laugh) Friends 2B Made! Dollmore has such variety, and F2BM, in addition to being very cheap, fits my skirt-wearing girl and boy quite well- except for the jeans. for shoes and boots, i like Dollheart best.

most of their outfits, however, are created by friends and my SO. since my dolls are DZ and taller than average, the pants in particular need to be specially made.

[lisaastrup]

Hi.

Well, I never buy any doll clothes, I make my own and sell them also from my web site,
I make clothes for minfee size and SD girls, take a look at my site :)

I buy wigs and shoes only and don't have a special brand.

This is a frill top I made today...

http://www.lisaastrup.dk/krave2.jpg

[xxashleaxx]

Iple House and Dream Of Doll are my faves.

[mikan]

My boys don't have many clothes, but these are my favorites:

1) FV Studio (Hiya) (http://www.fv-s.com/)
2) Nideru (http://dolldressnideru.blogspot.com/)
3) LavenderKiss (http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148896) by Kellyhime
4) Volks

Will add on to the list if i find more good seamstresses/ tailors!

[Lokita]

I personally love Volks clothes even if they're a bit big on my girls, but I have two lovely outfits from Sadol coming so I think I'll like them too :)

Eventually I'll order something from Dollheart instead of just admiring them from afar, haha.

[Lucy~Nyah~Sama]

I love Dollmore!!~

[fieraentara]

Friends 2b Made. Cheap, cute, and good quality!

[HarumiFey]

I usually make my own, but I buy from Dollmore often. They have some really great stuff.:D

[SuzyStretch]

For casual SD13 boy clothing, I just adore Iplehouse's line jeans, dress pants, shirts and tees. I don't think they sell the regular steelblue-wash jeans anymore, but when I owned a pair I just couldn't take them off my boy. They are so realistic and the quality is amazing.

DollHeart also makes really adorable YoSD outfits! :)

[Mistress Nariko]

I quite like some pieces from DollHeart, but currently it's Sadol! And also the BTSSB and naoto line from volks [which i unfortunately do not own ;A;]

[bishieprince]

I like D.U.C.K. dresses From domuya.

[clifsun]

Thanks for all the leads!

[rosen_mystica]

BTSSB and H.Naoto clothes that volks release with limiteds^^

[Resin Angels]

I really love Volks, Dollheart and Luts :)

[Otty]

hmm it's depend on the clothes
Jeans --> souldoll/iplehouse
fantasy--> DOD
suit --> probably dollheart

^ ^

[Laylian]

I love the older clothing by Souldoll. It's a shame I can't find any on the markets anywhere, haha. The outfit the Lupinus used to wear was to die for :kisses

Other than that, Dollheart, SODA (http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203894) and Yuyi Tale (http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124041) are my favorites.

[Meow]

I usually buy doll clothing from various auction^^"
but for shoes, my best choices would be DollHeart and Volks!

[Moon Lightning]

Thanks for the links. I'm new and was kinda wondering where to find my girl clothes. :)

[chiron2]

I love Dollheart but find them too expensive-My favorite place for clothes right now is Spampy who makes incredibly cute things for several doll sizes and she is super nice to do business with

[limedragon]

Nine9style, luts, dollheart and sadol.
I haven't had a chance to purchase from Sadol yet but I love to look at their outfits.

[sgtgeorgecarter]

Nine9style, luts, dollheart and sadol.
I haven't had a chance to purchase from Sadol yet but I love to look at their outfits.

Dennis exists for Sadol. Really nice stuff. I am waiting on 2 more suits and I can't wait to get my sweaty palms on them.

[yunnrila]

I love Sadol, Iplehouse, DollHeart, but I usually get clothing from Volks and LUTS. ^^

[elphsnt]

I love a lot of companies' outfits but have Volks, Dollmore and Dollheart. I find, however, that the best fit for my dolls tends to be Volks or Dollmore.

But, if I'm honest, I'd take a well made outfit created by a talented seamstress over a manufactured outfit any day. Out of my "clothing collection" my favorites tend to be the handcrafted outfits.

[ruinchan]

My fav source for my dolls outfits are Volks, Luts, Dollheart and Rosen Lied.
Occasionally I have them tailored by local seamstress.

[Missie L]

I LOVE the Baby the Stars Shine Bright line, though it's so hard to get your hands on the pieces...

I LOVE DollHeart, and Volks, too!

[Raesha]

There are a lot of gorgeous clothes out there, but I can't bring myself to spend more on clothes for my doll than I do for myself! I sew almost all of my doll's clothes myself. >.<

[L Mikia]

Right now I'm a sucker for DollHeart, Dollmore, and Volks. I haven't been able to venture into other shops (though I have drooled over AnotherSpace items)
I'm just always worried they won't fit my SD13 girl since she's kind of thick.

[talithax]

Dollheart & Luts are easily my favourites for SD clothing, and Another Space I quite like for YO-SD.

[verbatim]

I like Dollheart but I mostly only buy shoes from them. I buy clothes from Dollmore more often because it's very inexpensive and there are a lot of really inventive styles of clothing, especially for SD and MSD.

[shelley]

Dollmore are really great. I use some of their clothes as inspiration for my own models :)

[Izayoi]

I like the older Dollheart clothing-their current collection is starting to look a bit costume-like. I love Volks, Musedoll, Mio, and Arcadia Dolls.

[Maxwell]

I like Dollmore and Kon'd because theres more street casual/dressy up street clothing.. I'm not really into lacey lacey lolita clothing so yeah ^^;

[Tempting_Death]

Dollmore, hands down. Fantastic service, cute free items and above all, great quality! And they sell everything you may need, not just clothing, all at a fair price. you cant tell me they aren't wonderful. And the woman that runs it is so nice

[RavenStorm]

I love dollmore's clothes. Great prices just like tempting death said.

[Gulwen]

I make most of my stuff but i one a lot of Volks and some Dream of doll stuff. Volks is good thou.

[dragonlovesdolls]

I love to make clothes but when I buy I like Dollmore and Dollheart. However, I love clothes made by bperry and spamy :)

[Geass]

For completely clothes/accessory-centric shops, I love Sadol and 4D. I also like Volks and Musedoll. :]

[javasoy]

Mint on Card (http://www.mintoncardinc.com/dolls) has a lot of cute stuff too.

[Fireflies]

I also really like ... outfits i have from Amelie Taylor (Sugarmag).

I like their stuff a lot too. I go there for Yo-SD clothes. The only problem I have is that their website is not Mac friendly. So whenever I want something from them I have to do either go my dad's computer which is really really slow or hope that Mint on Card has what I am looking for. It's a little frustrating :tantrum.

[sgtgeorgecarter]

I hear you on the IE only sites. IE6 at that. It'll be interesting to see what happens when its phased out.

I'm really liking Sadol and Atalier Soda,

[klum*9]

I really like Dollmore. My favorite is Wickedstitchery.
Also, I have some Elfdoll clothes I like alot.:lol
klum*9

[GothChild03]

I LOVE Dollheart! I wish they were a bit cheaper but really I am finding that there is not a whole lot about this hobby that is cheap so I can deal with it :)

[timid]

I buy a lot from Volks, and lately have gotten a lot from LUTS; I like Dollmore a lot, too. Their prices are good and shopping from them is always easy. I really like the dealer Little Wonder, too, great prices for the quality, and a Y!J seller named hydoll-create. Her prices are great, and she always makes shirts that open all the way down the back. I love easy-to-put-on clothes . . .

[cutup01]

Definitely 4D. Sometimes musedoll for their cuteness.

[Rheshard]

I don't really have any favorites. I tend to find something interesting from most of the sites that I have visited. I plan on making my the vast majority of my own clothes and accessories

Though I like a lot of the DollZone clothing, mainly their shoes though. Cotin Doll and Mimiwoo have some cute and interesting clothing as well as boots and shoes.

[scrollbrush@hotmail.]

Would love to hear from European members of their favourite clothing companies if possible .

[pbrennan42]

Dollmore for my MSD stuff. Vitti Vera too.

Mimiwoo for my 1:6 stuff. Looking for more suppliers though. Realistic and Edgy.

Phil.

[AmyAngel]

I absolutely adore my Her Delicate Strength things. The Volks stuff I have is all very nice too. The Dollheart and Dollzone pieces I have are also excellent. I like Dollmore for cheap basics too, and I have a pair of Tonner cargo shorts which are adorable on my Minifee boy. The Brennil/HDS stuff is the best, though, for fit and realism.

[PamSD]

I am a big Dollmore fan because they have so many sizes but I also really enjoy Auguste Designs hand crochet things.
Auguste's work is so amazing.

[meows]

It's probobly a tie between Souldoll and Dollheart, with Volks ocasionally getting in there as well, but very rarely.

[gloombox]

I love Dollmore, Luts, and Volks for basics. For fancier stuff, I tend to like Dollheart for my YoSDs, and though I don't own any of their pieces yet, I'm a big fan of Atelier Soda, Arcadia Dolls, and Souldoll. If only Souldoll's pieces didn't sell out so quickly. :(

Other than that, I tend to pick and choose select Volks limited designer outfits or things from Yahoo!Japan.

Zolala! and Swan20 are pretty much the definitive dressers of my Unoas!! I adore them both.

[jessipluto]

Hmmmm I have mostly doll heart stuff and I like buying stuff from Diverse designs on DOA they make a lot of stuff that is made for mnf or other slim mini and their prices are awesome.

[mellaney]

nine9style.net simply love their clothes^^

[Rabbit-moon]

When I got into this hobby in 2006, I use to spend hours looking at the clothes on the Luts site. They had pages and pages of gorgeous and wonderful outfits. And, killer fantasy outfits, too. But of late, that is not the case. (I wonder what happen?)

Now, I shop Dollmore. Dollmore has great basic stuff and you can't beat their free goodies and customer service.

I also love Dollheart.

[toshirodragon]

Dollmore has a wide selection, I just with they had a wide variety since I don't have any goth punk dolls here (well no with a body full time).

Iplehouse has wonderful clothes for outdoorsy types and fun stuff for non goths. And generally well made, we did have a run of bad stuff last year but their regular person was out ill so that may have been the problem, as everything I've gotten since has been in peak condition.

I like Sunny on ebay for sneakers and MSD jeans. A little pricey on the jeans but free shipping.

[Mikki]

...love her design sense combined w/ anice mix of colors and textures that fit my DT msd girls beautifully

[dollyface89]

Dollheart is great, but I love Nine9 Style for their casual stuff.

[cloudyskyday]

I personally like Nine9 Style

[MidnightPariah]

Dollheart, Volks, and Nine9 Style are my favorites!

[HeyTanya]

I would have to say Dollheart, Dollmore and Tata's Paradise. ^^

[Ruki]

DollHeart and DollMore are my two favourite places to shop clothing, that is if I don't sit down and make it myself.

[MademoiselleLotus]

I like Dollmore because of their wide selection. Dollheart because of their uniqueness, and Ajumapama because the clothes are awesome.

[Humbug]

None yet unfortunately, I like fantasy style clothings for my doll, and there's no shop that specializes in it, yet. Tho if the Old World B&G line actually starts selling clothes separately, they might start to become a favorite for me. :)

[Rebeccanunu]

I prefer dollheart and volks, though I got most of clothes from individual studios.

[Hugobopp]

I like Dollmore for everyday clothes and SODA for dress stuff. SODA reminds me of of an exclusive store, like Valentino. I have also had good luck on Ebay in finding traditional kimonos and Japanese male outfits.

[Aetheria]

Miomiomiomiomio and a few brands on Y!J from years ago that I can't rememberrrr anymore. I tend to go for the super fitted stuff like Mio, or the amazing suits like Sadol, or things with flowy, earth toned layers that I can't think of an example for. D: I never buy clothes for my dolls because I am waaay too picky

[Hugobopp]

This is a great thread, so many brand names to look up.
