That's good to know! I just bought that pattern form my EAH boy. I'll have to note on it that it fits my 27 cm Obistu boy as we'll.

Has anyone successfully resized Gracefaerie patterns? I really want this pattern for my MNF, but the measurements are very different from the doll she's made the pattern for: http://www.gracefaerie.com/patterns/pattern60.html. I know she has a short tutorial on resizing her patterns, but I want to know if anyone's done it and how it worked out.

She does sort of have that for MSD size, except you'd need 3 patterns…

The Waterfall skirt and snug corset: http://www.gracefaerie.com/patterns/pattern61.html
The over-blouse corset: http://www.gracefaerie.com/patterns/pattern49.html
The blouse: http://www.gracefaerie.com/patterns/pattern58.html

I have resized one of her patterns (oddly enough, the corset for Nyssa I linked above). It only sort-of worked for me, but I don't think it was anything to do with the pattern or the resizing instructions, but because I was making the top part smaller and the bottom part larger, so there was a lot of faffing around once I'd done the basic resize. I think if I had being just decreasing the size, or just increasing it, it would have worked fine.

Would anyone happen to know the percentage to print that pattern for MiniFee? I'm bad at math lol. I have a GraceFaerie pattern I can try a resize on. It says it's for slim MSD but it's way too big for my dolls.

I recommend getting yourself a proportion wheel. They are designed for print artists but they are an absolute must for any kind of resizing. All you do is put the measurement you currently have on one side, and then match it to the measurement you want on the other wheel and BOOM it tells you the percentage of reduction or enlargement. http://www.dickblick.com/products/westcott-c-thru-proportional-scale/?clickTracking=true&wmcp=pla&wmcid=items&wmckw=55473-1005&gclid=CLrfnfqaisMCFQiDfgodIioAjA

I'm looking for a simple tank top pattern for my incoming Pullip doll. So I guess it can be a Blythe or Skipper pattern, too. I'd rather not crochet it because I'm basing the outfit on a video game character. Does anyone know where I can find a simple tank top pattern for that size? I've googled it but come up empty.

Someone linked to this blog on another forum, and I love the patterns. The author has not updated in several years but the patterns are great and for entire outfits including hats, bags, and other accessories.

The patterns are for Barbie, but they are all based on rectangles and darts are added to fit them to the exact doll, so they can be adapted for other 1\6 dolls or sized up for larger dolls.

I have a CRAPTON of Victorian-era patterns saved on my Steampunk Pinterest board. It's a bit disorganized in the sub-boards, and I've not yet started on resizing them to fit dolls, but have at 'em. I'm always looking for more patterns, so it's a massive WIP.
