A look at the final ensemble for American Girl Dolls - A Fairy Princess done in regal regency styling.

I can't believe that we are on our fourth day with this Fantasy for Dolls series with Bbeauty Dolls as our host.  Today we are traveling through time and space into the darkest of night where the stars are as bright as the sun.  We see wizards and dragons, giants and mythical creatures.  All so beautiful in this enchanting realm. The beauty starts with the fairies gown.  It sparkles among the stars.  It is made with a bronze silk dupioni and has black glittering mesh overlay

Kathilyn Creations unveils the first handmade fairy costume for American Girl Dolls in the series with behind the scenes on how she made it.

Spotlight #2 on Kathilyn Creations with a medieval outfit showcasing her skill and art in sewing for dolls.

My desire to create my own dress designs began in my early teens.  A seamstress class helped cultivate and shape my love of designing to grow into a specialized line of doll clothing.  Combined with my love of history and fantasy, came the designs that are original and beautiful at the same time. This love expanded into fairy tale and fantasy.  In the design process, the fairies have taken on a life of their own.  As part of the process, the wings are literally forged in fire

Welcome to the final day spent in the "World of Oz" together.  For this last day, AG Doll Magic has saved a very special ensemble for you all - Glinda's Bubble Dress and Accessories! This final ensemble was the most intricate of the entire "Oz" collection and it took me nearly a full week to complete the look - from drafting patterns, to cutting circles upon circles of satin and tulle for the skirting (and then running out midway through!), to hand-stitching sequins, beading

Welcome back to the "World of Oz Collection" in collaboration with Bbeauty Dolls for the Fantasy for Dolls Feature!  Today, we are going to switch gears from "The Wizard of Oz" and move into the movie world of "Wicked"!  To kick things off, I'm excited to present the one and only "Wicked Witch", Elphaba, in her Defying Gravity-inspired ensemble! Elphaba's Defying Gravity dress is made from a lightweight black sheer fabric and is fully lined with a green floral printed fabric

The fourth look in our "World of Oz Collection" features the Cowardly Lion!  Let's take a look at how this adorable Lion ensemble was made and the inspiration used to create it! The Cowardly Lion is the final traveling companion Dorothy meets on her way to Oz and while the Lion seems frightening at first, it becomes clear that he simply believes himself to be a coward.  While on their journey, the Lion eventually finds his courage and I think this doll-sized Lion is just as c

The second look in our "World of Oz Collection" for Bbeauty's Fantasy for Dolls Collaboration is the ever iconic Tin Man! Going into creating this outfit, I knew I wanted the suit to look as close as it could to being made of tin while still being functional enough for the doll to move in.  That being said, the biggest aspect of this ensemble was making sure to get the right base structure for the tin suit!  I tested out a few different ways of how I could built the suit, fir

Today, I am so excited to give you a closer look at the first ensemble from the "World of Oz Collection" as part of the Fantasy for Dolls collaboration with Bbeauty Dolls!  This first look in the Oz series showcases Dorothy's iconic blue and white gingham pinafore outfit! For this ensemble, I drew upon the original design of Dorothy's look in the Wizard of Oz film for inspiration.  Dorothy's pinafore is made from a classic blue and white gingham printed cotton which was thrif

Welcome to week two of the Fantasy for Dolls Collaboration Series with Bbeauty Dolls!  This week we'll be journeying down the yellow brick road back to the wonderful, whimsical, wizarding world of Oz with an artist showcase by AG_DollMagic. As soon as Heather announced the fantasy theme for this collaboration, my mind immediately went to "The Wizard of Oz" and with "Wicked for Good" coming out next month, I couldn't help but fantasize myself, about creating the iconic looks f
