Your favorite clothing companies?

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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~

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.

Doll's Singing on Ebay sometimes has a Heise section. I completely forgot about Heise, her artwork and clothing are amazing!

Main agent for Heisejinyao clothing and boots, etc is Amelia, who sells in the DoA Marketplace--

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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?
