for any of you who sew, this looks like an interesting site for doll patterns http://www.marianjasper.com/Unique_Fashiox.html
scroll down this site till you come to the 'Barbie lounge kittens' coming in '04 that come with the hi heel or red lips chair, I'd about pay this price just to get the shoe chairs http:www.41vogue.com2004%20Barbie%20C%20to%20K.htm#Tiger
look at the Tyler W. coll. coming out in '04, they call it the Chicago coll. after the movie...but also notice by scrolling down & on the left , the framed vintage Barbie swim . suit , wonder if we could do similar things with vintage or special doll clothes we like. We could use those plastic manniquin fillers that the doll clothes come attached to . http://www.41vogue.com/Chicago%20Collection.htm
again for those of you who sew or would like to try a Barbie size dress, go here , she shows you how to make a dress, how to make a Barbie sized wardrobe from one of those cardboard under the bed chests, how to make a sofa & chair ( looks like something most of us could do ) hangers,. sells small zippers & buttons & things & nice looking Barb sized patterns...then go look at the scenes she set up , always an interesting thing to see what others come up with..esp. see the Xmas & Halloween scenes as they are coming up...I use Xmas ornaments for chandeleirs as she did over her dining room table http://www.angelfire.com/ab/lisasdolls/tinyzippers.html
