    2. I'm gonna vote for 4. Mostly because it's the only one I know what I might want to do for it. And have at least 2 dolls who fit into it that need me to get off my lazy butt and actually make clothes for them!

    3. I'd really like to get in on this thread...I've been away from the hobby for almost a year, now. Most of my dolls represent characters from a high fantasy storyline, but with a little artistic license, I could wiggle one or more into any of these categories:4)Punk & Goth, 6)Evening Wear, or 6)School wear.

      Theme 01: 7

      I'm sad to say, if we wind up with theme 9: Sock Couture and Recycled fabrics, I'll have to sit out. I have too much bought raw fabric needing to be used to be going out looking for fabrics to re-purpose.

    29. Thanks must have overlooked her post, I'm sorry, That is a great date so i have enough time to finish other projects till then.

      I'm curious about the topic it will finally be as not every topic will be realizeable in the scale of my only model, but i will definitly give it a try. <3 Even gathering the materials will be a challenge, i think

    34. My votes are for 2, 6, and 10. I remember dressing Emma in Stephen's clothes because he hadn't arrived, yet, but it would be good to step away from constantly dressing her in pink/bright colors for a change.

      What if we had an entire competition devoted to accessories, like all about new shoes, or jewelry?

      I agree, having more than one at a time is just going to get really confusing. My suggestion would be to have everyone put in a vote for whatever they like from the list (vote for as many topics as you want), and at a designated time, declare voting over.

      After that, organize everything into another list, starting with what got the most votes, and ending with the least votes. If you have a tie, just put them down in whatever way the original creator of this game prefers (don't vote on them, again).

    37. The current ranking is:

      Mori Fashion (12)
      Sock Couture (10)
      Pick a decade (9)
      Punk & Goth (6)
      School Wear (6)
      Decore (5)
      Evening Wear (5)
      Gender Bender (4)
      Cosplay (2)
      Sports Wear (1)

      After some thought, I've decided that more than one theme really would be confusing. So the winning theme will be used for the next round that starts on the 28th.

      What do you guys think -- should this already decide the themes for the rounds after this one? I mean, use the theme with the most votes for the next round, use the theme with the second most votes for the round after that, and so on? Or should we vote again before every round?

    38. I think it might be nice to have the list dictate the following rounds. It would let people know what's coming up. If they don't have an idea for this round, they can get ideas for the next one, since they'll have plenty of time to think about it.

    39. One the of the downsides of having the list tag along so to speak is that the people who voted this round might not be the people wanting to play down the line. The upside of voting before every new challenge is that only those who have intentions to play (if the theme works out in their favour) votes. Which should make for a fairer voting.

    41. Since 'mori fashion' seems so strong, I have a question...and hope you will all pardon my ignorance. 'Mori' seems to be geared for girls, is that correct? I've got 2 large, mature male dolls I'd thought to show off in the next round, but it doesn't seem to apply. Neither is 'feminine' at all.

      I do have an Appini, but she's my only doll that has plenty of clothes.

    43. KSilva, I'm in the same boat! I have a new big boy coming that I want to sew for.

      I think it's fine if people take a theme as inspiration rather than something they need to follow as a strict rule. This isn't supposed to be a contest, but a game that helps you to get the creative juices flowing! :) So take the theme as a starting point and then run with it!

      We can take the idea of Mori (living close to nature), the muted colors (a lot of white, beige, brown), the whimsical nature of the clothes (lots of layering, sometimes a bit of an ethnic touch, mostly loose), the natural fabrics, and then come up with our own idea what a male take on this fashion would look like.

    44. You could always take PM suggestions (which wouldn't congest the thread) for a limited time. Then, you could decide which are doable, and which aren't feasible. Take the ones you think will work, and assign them numbers.

      Find a random number generator (I found this one: http://www.random.org/) put in your lowest and highest numbers, press the button and the theme corresponding to the chosen number is the next theme.

    47. Mori is also a fashion for boys. In Japan, when boys want to date a certain kind of girl, for example, lolita or gyaru, sometimes the easiest way to do that is to dress like their accessory! Thus, most girl's fashions have a male counterpart. Here's a mori boy tumblr for ideas.

      Voting is closed because I want to update the main thread, and so people have until the 28th to decide if the theme is for them or not. Mori Fashion won!
