Impressive Fashions by Shasarignis

Sewing was never an acquired talent for me. The extent of my sewing is hemming and mending by hand. To machine sew requires skill. To sew garments by hand with such precision that they appear machine sewn is skillful genius that few people possess.

Shasarignis is among those who can sew by hand with such precision.

Recently, I received several samples of her designs for mostly playscale dolls that I will feature in a few blog posts. This is the first of the planned posts.

Exercise leotards, headbands, leggings, and open-finger gloves are shown here.

These three outfits and the silver lamé bodysuit and leggings in the photo immediately below rewind back to the 1980s "Let's Get Physical" era when donning exercise leotards, leggings, headbands, and wristbands and/or fingerless gloves was the trend.

A silver lamé bodysuit and leggings are shown here. (All of the bodysuits can be worn with other clothing items.)

These dolls model four different bodysuits and accessories.

Fab Fringe Tall Barbie models the pink stripe bodysuit and lavender mesh top, fingerless gloves, and leggings while Janay models the pink bodysuit worn with a Barbie logo'd top, headband, and leggings.

This close-up of the fingerless gloves illustrates the thumb section they include.

Emoji Fun Barbie wears the silver lamé bodysuit and leggings. A rope-belted yellow bodysuit and matching headband are modeled by Teen Nikki.

Many of the pieces from Shasarignis can be mixed and matched. For example, the pale lavender mesh top can be worn with the silver lamé bodysuit or the pink bodysuit as illustrated in the next two photos. 

The lavender mesh top is worn with the silver bodysuit here and...

...with the pink bodysuit and pink striped leggings here.

These two bodysuits can also be worn with other Shasarignis fashions as illustrated next. 

The pink bodysuit can be worn with a pink pantsuit sewn by Shasarignis (see it modeled a few pictures below). The silver bodysuit pairs well with silver lamé pants, but the pants also have a separate strapless top as illustrated next.

A strapless top, modeled below, was made to be worn with silver lamé pants.

Fab Fringe wears the silver lamé pants ensemble. (These pants can be worn with the silver lamé bodysuit, but that combination is not shown here.)

The pink pantsuit and pink bodysuit are modeled by Janay, who holds a Barbie Hello Kitty shoulder bag and wears black ankle boots.

Still wearing the pink pantsuit and body suit, Janay went for the monochromatic look by adding pink high-heel sandals and discarding the Hello Kitty bag.

This silver lamé gown is beautiful.

The final fashion piece in this post is a silver lamé strapless gown modeled above by Barbie Looks Model 10. Doesn't she look stunning?

I appreciate the attention to detail in these fashions. The use of snaps, hook-and-eye closures, and even zippers makes them look like mini replicas of adult fashions and very reminiscent of the 1960s Barbie fashions I owned as a child. None of these pieces use Velcro! 

The Shasarignis label adds a special distinguishing feature to these fashions.

Several of the pieces bear the Shasarignis label, too, which adds to their appeal.

Additional Shasarigns designs will be the focus of subsequent blog posts. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, visit Shasarignis' Instagram page, blog, and YouTube channel where these and other pieces are modeled by other dolls in still photos and stop-motion animated videos.

Thank you, again, Shasarignis for your generous gift!
