What kind of fashion style do you typically gravitate towards for your dolls?

I tend to lean towards, Grunge. BUT my littles are the only ones who wear brighter colors! For a while I was having a really hard time finding out what style each of my dolls should wear. I noticed I go for darker, more detailed, clothing so I just stuck with that lol

 

Even though I don't have the dolls yet, I already have styles for them. Two of them were heavily based on the fullsets being offered by the company before they became sold out (T^T).

- Force is an aspiring rockstar, but dresses like a casual punk, wearing jeans, a black t-shirt, red leather jacket, and black leather boots with chunky soles (not entirely platfrom boots, but edging close to it).
- Rudy is an innocent girl who wears a Little Red Riding Hood type outfit, with her red cloak and hood, a floral print dress, white lacy apron type pinafore, white tights, and black Mary Janes.
- Charlotte is a privileged rich girl, but is super kind. She wears a white knit long sleeved shirt under a flannel print coverall dress with white panyhose and black Mary Janes.
- Deborah, like Charlotte, is a rich girl, but is open-minded and gentle. She wears a purple dress with black lace. She rarely wears shoes or tights, but when she does, she wears black tights and black ballet flats.
- Freya wears a simple rainbow striped dress.
- Freyr wears a white t-shirt and black shorts.

 

My first doll I tended to rotate between Lolita styles. I tried cosplaying her as a Rozen Maiden doll or wearing a nice silk kimono, but I always revert back to the same 3 Lolita styled outfits. The rest of my dolls, I bought as LE full sets so most are all in their original outfits. Most either fit into the various sub-genres of Lolita styles or are full-on LE characters from popular animes, mangas, or games.

When I was into Gothic Lolita stuff, I tried to find things to coordinate with my first doll, but it was hard as I'm short and curvy and at the time the Gothic Lolita stuff was only available in Japan where even international Large was still like a smallish-medium so it was either too expensive or didn't fit me right. I'm into Regency styles nowadays (Cottagecore in some aspects), but my first doll is still Lolita as well as most of my dolls. I had found a somewhat Regency looking outfit for one FCS doll but she's not my doll (I share this hobby with my husband) and my go to dolls wouldn't be able to sport the Regency look too well. I have staple looks for myself and I feel my dolls have their own staples as well which is kind of funny and cute to think about.

 

i Definity lean more towards Jfashion, i think when i first started i would just grab things i thought were cute from the volks website but now as i explore my own personal style more its rubbing off on my dolls

 

I want to collect a few different themes for everyone: modern, fantasy, street/casual. Dressup and changing a doll's look is a major draw for me. But of course every doll has different inclinations. I already experienced a doll rejecting what I put on her, so I know I can't treat everyone the same.
