As children, we all played with dolls. But some people still love them in their adulthood.

So, as dolls live, they need some things for everyday life, and first of all, of course, clothes. How should a doll be dressed? Best of all, like a human.

The scale here is a big problem. The most common format of dolls is a Barbie-format, or 1/6. When sewing, even 1 mm difference in the size of the pattern can change the whole outfit. So, sewing technique is completely different from human one.

Fabrics on such a small scale behave quite differently. Those that flow along the human body bulge on the doll — not enough weight. Thickness is another problem! Imagine that you need to sew a chiffon blouse from drape — the ratio roughly corresponds to the scale.

A separate topic is the choice of fabric pattern. Puppeteers hunt for fabrics with the smallest cells, stripes, flowers.

Besides, do not forget that you should solve all these problems, and also create a replica of a specific outfit.

Knitting has other problems. In addition to very thin spokes and a hook (not thicker than 1 mm) and yarn (from 800 m/100 g to embroidery viscose bobbin), it is necessary to count all the patterns to a much smaller number of stitches. Thus, it is necessary to not make this thing look big, too rough and thick.

If you overcome these difficulties, your doll has many possibilities.

It can live in any era.

It can wear any clothes.

Even clothes which an artist is afraid to wear.

Haute couture clothes are also available for it.

A doll can turn into a favorite movie character.

It can even be a rock star.
