18 inch doll clothes are addicting.....really.....not tedious like Barbie clothes and not huge like people clothes. The Americana collection (preprinted , cut out and sew) got me started and a pattern book and now pixie faire... it is so much fun sometimes with leftovers from quilts (sundresses) and..... they all need a doll quilt! Rather than the dress form I 'rescued' a doll from an after holiday sale bin and it was less than 1/2 the price of the dress form. The one variable to watch for is the size of the waist, that can be an inch or more variance from doll to doll and depending if they are always in a doll stand. Sorry this topic really got me chatting.
