In addition to adding more realistic sculpts to the line up, I've found that my fascination with Alice-themed and historical/Rococo era outfits have fallen by the wayside in favor of more contemporary styles. These can be a little difficult to find. However, I like several things about them:
- First, they take up a lot less room to display and store.
- Second, they are fun to mix and match. It's fun putting together pieces from several fashions and creating a new look. The versatility reminds me of playing with fashion dolls.
- Third, you have the option of formal wear in additional casual looks, so you aren't stuck with a single style.
Oh my goodness, how am I not following your blog???
ReplyDeleteI've found the same thing over the years with bjds... the fantasy type outfits are cool, but for everyday storytelling and life, totally useless... they're more for dolls who will stand on a shelf and do little else.
But yeah, isn't it weird how hard just normal clothes can be to find????
