Fashion Doll Loot

The contents of a recent fashion doll clothing and shoe order are illustrated.

After JHD Midnight Orchid YaYa arrived and my need for clothes and shoes for my new fashion-doll muse became apparent, I went budget fashion-doll clothes and shoe shopping. The above photo illustrates the packaged items that totaled $29. The photos below were captured from the website source of the order, and pictures of Midnight Orchid YaYa modeling most of these items are below the website photos.

Website Photos

I ordered and received a random assortment of 10 fashion doll shoes. YaYa was able to wear 6 of the 10 pairs of shoes. Other dolls will enjoy the other 4.

From a separate listing, one black and one gray pair of high-heels were ordered that fit YaYa well.

From the above selection, I chose the white and the red ballet dresses. The lacy bodice is strapless on each, and the flared skirt is layered tulle.

I also ordered office suits in black and white houndstooth, and light green, pink, and tan tweed. Decorative buttons accent the suit jackets. 

The last two ordered items were a pink floral skirt suit with knee-high tights and a white top with a burgundy striped pencil skirt. The skirt appears to be bright red striped but it is actually burgundy or deep red. Note the incorrect placement of the buttons on the pink floral jacket. Women's buttons should be on the left*.

Midnight Orchid YaYa Models the Shoes That Fit

These are the randomly selected 10 shoes I received. The six pairs on the left fit YaYa's foot. The other four do not.

YaYa models the red slingbacks, lavender cut-out sandals, and purple ballet shoes.

Orange high-heels, black high-heels, and butterfly-embellished pink heels fit well.

These black high heels were purchased separately along with...

...these gray high-heels which both fit YaYa well.

Midnight Orchid YaYa Models the Clothes 

The bodice of the white ballet dress has a slightly loose fit, but YaYa can still wear it. It is worn with the separately purchased gray shoes.

YaYa wears the red slingbacks with the red ballet dress.

YaYa tried on the black and white houndstooth skirt without the jacket and with the red slingbacks.

She looks so sharp with the jacket added.

The gray shoes pair well with this suit.

YaYa still wears the gray heels but with the light green tweed suit which came with a white crop top.

A pink sparkly bandeau and pink butterfly-accented heels are the perfect complements for the pink tweed suit. 

YaYa strikes a glamorous pose while wearing the complete pink tweed ensemble.

From this rear view, the butterflies on the pink heels are visible.

A gold bandeau made of faux leather and the tan tweed suit are worn with the gray high heels here.

The same tan ensemble is worn with orange heels.

The pink floral suit includes a white crop top and white over-the-knee stockings; however, the stockings are too narrow to extend above YaYa's upper calves. 

With the too-small stockings removed and the jacket added, YaYa assumed another striking pose. *Left-sided placement of buttons on shirts, blouses, and jackets designed for women is the norm. The faux pearl buttons on this jacket are on the right.

The dark-red striped skirt with the red-button- accented white blouse was the last fashion from this purchase that YaYa tried on. She wears this fashion with black high heels first.

This fashion looks good with the gray high heels as well.

YaYa enjoyed modeling her new clothes and shoes. Afterward, she decided to continue wearing Mattel's reproduction of the 1965 Barbie Matinee Fashion #1640 opting to wear the red slingbacks instead of the red pumps worn with it previously. 

I am convinced that YaYa looks good in just about anything she wears, but red and lighter colors are better for her.

I looped and tightened a clear rubber band around the heel straps of these shoes and placed YaYa's feet through the open loop of the rubber band before placing her feet inside the shoes. The rubber band creates a mock ankle strap that will prevent the shoes from falling off. I can also use a red rubber band for a one-color look.

The attached scarf on the hat can hang loose as illustrated on the right, but YaYa has chosen to wrap it around her neck as illustrated on the left.

Final Shasarignis Fashion Showcase

This is the fourth and final post that showcases doll fashions by Shasarignis. Recall that the doll dressmaker donated several of her hand-sewn fashions. The links to the other three blog posts are at the end of this post. 

A beige linen-look belted coat, a pink two-piece skirt suit, a gray and black houndstooth jacket, and dark beige pants are the featured fashions by Shasarignis.

This post also features an additional white dress with a peasant neckline and an elasticized waist that fits a 16-inch doll.

The last of the playscale fashions are modeled by the lovely ladies below.

Barbie Fashionista #125, Fashionista #91 (Varsity Plaiditude), and Barbie Basics Model No. 4 are clothed in fashions designed by Shasarignis.

The roomy linen-look full-length coat is belted at the waist and also has belt loops. It can be worn alone or over a dress or pants.

Fashionista 91 looks elegant in this pink skirt suit with three vertical buttons on the top and side pleats on the skirt.

Barbie Basics Model No. 4 looks stylish in a gray and black houndstooth double-breasted jacket and tan pants. 

For the white peasant dress, Essential Lizette Dionne was a perfect choice.

With her orange mesh gypsy headscarf and peach high heels, Lizette wears this dress well.

My sincere gratitude goes out to Shasarignis for graciously donating these well-made (sewn completely by hand) doll clothes! My dolls appreciate you, too. 

Visit the doll dressmaker's Instagram page, blog, and YouTube channel where more fashion-doll clothes are modeled by other dolls in still photos and stop-motion animated videos.

Hand-Sewn Fashions by Shasarignis Continued

A fiery-red pantsuit, a sexy black top and skirt ensemble, a collared body suit worn with denim shorts, and another hand-sewn fashion by Shasarignis are featured in this blog post. Recall that she sews completely by hand without the use of a sewing machine. 

This photo captures a two-piece pants fashion, a wet-look top and skirt; a white bodysuit and denim shorts.

The models are Made-to-Move Barbie, So in Style Grace, and Janay.

The two-piece red pants ensemble is a nice fit on Made-to-Move Barbie. The pants are tapered at the waist and have a back snap closure.

Grace stuns in the black wet-look fashion. Both pieces snap together at the back.

The collared white bodysuit, which can be worn with other pieces (such as the black skirt above), is paired with cuffed denim shorts. See a doll on Shasarignis' blog model this blouse with the black skirt here).

A playful Pierrot fashion includes a loose-fitting top and wide-legged pants.

Barbie Looks #2 models the Pierrot fashion, the top of which includes two vertical black yarn pom-poms and a ruffled collar.

One more post to showcase additional fashion pieces by Shasarignis is planned. 

Visit the doll dressmaker's Instagram page, blog, and YouTube channel where more fashion-doll clothes are modeled by other dolls in still photos and stop-motion animated videos.

Fashionista Ken #162, Emoji Fun Barbie, and So in Style Darren model athleisure pieces that can be mixed and matched.

Not only does she sew, but Shasarignis also knits playscale fashions as well.

Fab Fringe Barbie models the knit sweater and matching scarf.

This maxi-length black knit coat has many appealing features.

Worn with other pieces and modeled by Fab Fringe, this coat has a wide lapel collar.

It has three-quarter-length sleeves and two appealing side slits.

One of the side slits is illustrated in this close-up.

Here is another full-length view from a side angle...

... and a full-length view from the other side. Can you tell that this is one of my favorite pieces?

Both side slits and the wide collar are visible in this view from the back.
