As I mentioned before I have some dolls which are about 60 cm high. Recently I bought a new one, but this one is much smaller than the ones I used to have. She is about 21cm high. She is too tiny to find clothes which fit her. “The clothes maketh the man”: clothes could make a man looks nice. So, we decided we are going to make clothes for the tiny doll.
We are going to make a kimono, which is a kind of Japanese traditional garment. The reason why we chose that is because a kimono is easy to make and it looks nice when you finish it, I hope.
Recently I bought a sample of the clothes we are making. Through these sample clothes, we can see exactly how other people make clothes. In order to make it clearer, I found a set of paper samples that shows all the parts of the clothes.
Here is the sample clothes.
My partner Eva is searching materials on taobao. for the fabric we decided it together.

I was surprised at how heavy this doll is. You can tell that it’s well made. I like the idea of making clothes for it because you can’t get any that fit – you’ll be exploring how to make clothes as well as outfitting your doll, which is a good project. Good luck.
