I’m sorry to announce Dolluxe is closed for an indefinite period of time. Please respect that I will not be taking any custom requests or producing new seasons of clothing. I appreciate all the emails and interest that has come my way. I am sorry I have not been able to write back.
I am so thankful for the wonderful customers and people I have met in the year and a half with Dolluxe. Thank you for your appreciation and support.

Here is another chance to grab up a very unique and luxurious micro knit dress for Blythe. I changed up the skirt pattern for this beautiful micro knit dress. I think you’ll love the pop of bright electric green in this one! Please note that the auction was set at 5 days so it could end Sunday. Ebay item # 220206331543

It’s a rainy day here. There is nothing much better to do than crochet and knit. I’m finishing up loose ends. I hope to get that second micro-knit dress to ebay early next week after the ebay strike. I have a general plan to make maybe one a week if possible for ebay till I get bored of them! I already have all these variations of them in my head. I just need to list them out and leave them for another rainy day. I’m already getting carried away with ideas for Summer 2008. I think that is what I’m going to dedicate the upcoming weeks to so expect a slight disappearance but in a month or two another fun big sale!

February 4th is Hazel’s First Birthday. In celebration I created this micro knit cashmere dress and will be offering one on Ebay! Please see the auction for more details.

(Please note, Ebay took the first listing down due to having an Etsy url in the item description. )

For those of you who might not know, Hazel was my first Kenner Blythe purchase. I really didn’t know much about Kenners at the time. I didn’t even know there was black haired girls and brunettes. I thought she was just a brunette! I just was so attracted by her cute face I had to have her! I really thank the advice of my close friend Jess about bidding. I think every day I upped what I was willing to bid by $100. I can’t believe I won her in the end! I paid for express shipping but the seller took over the weekend and a few days to get her in the mail. I was so impatient and the torture was killing me. I got her and she was wrapped in some sort of medical padding. I can see her fresh new blushy face still in my head. I nearly thought something was wrong when I saw all her blush. I asked myself “is she supposed to be this way?”. What made me feel so close to her was her hair had this amazing vintage wave to it, nearly a fingerwave. Her bangs curl in the most graceful manner. I think I spent all day just combing her hair (and picking grubby pieces of shag carpet and melted rubber band out of it) I quickly explored photographing her at all angles. She started my addiction to the vintage Blythe and really changed my life. She is an artists muse that keeps me creating and enjoying my imagination. She will forever be my first love!

Well the holidays are over so I have no more excuses for sitting on my behind. I knit Babette a little sweater last week and am waiting on a few more pattern books for new knitting project inspiration.
I started sewing a little again. Soon you will see a new style dress available in etsy soon. I’m calling this one Party Princess. I ran out of the lace I was using for the first batch. I located some very similar accent lace so I can keep working on this style. I think by Monday or Tuesday you will get a preview of this.

Happy New Year!

Good morning! (and evening and afternoon to everyone around the world)

I guess all the retail stores have worked their magic. I’m in the holiday spirit already. At least this gives me a good jump start on some pretty holiday items for your girls! I worked up a special new sewn dress that is good for all those parties when your girls need to look nice for the relatives. It’s a little fancy yet still retains fun retro style. These dresses will be a pretty limited release of eight or nine due to limited vintage supplies. I’m aiming for early December to sell and ship. I’m trying to work hard on them all this week but Thanksgiving is Thursday so my work week will be broken up a bit. I want everyone to have them in their hands as soon as possible. I’ll do my best!

I also ordered some beautiful angora yarn. I want to do a batch of puff sleeve sweaters with angora fur neck and sleeve edge trim. I think that will be a nice winter luxury to gift your favorite dolly.

So rest easy till December and I’ll save up the Dolluxe goodies for etsy till then!

Hello all!

Guess what, I’m still sewing First Date dresses! I think I’ve been enjoying it a lot as the pieces are like puzzle pieces that you put together. I used to love puzzles as a child.

So we have some duplicates coming up like Groovy Boyfriend and Marmalade Kisses but there will also be two more fabric choices available. One is in another bright and groovy pink and orange print which I will call Love In Bloom and the other in a more subdued romantic brown rose print which will be named Dried Roses.

I think we are still shooting for Sunday listings again but if I change plans I will post here to let you know.

My First Date dresses in vintage fabrics did very well with sales last week. I really enjoy sewing up this pattern so I’ve been working on more with denim cuffs, waistband and sash ties. It’s just fun to see how the dynamic of a dress can change with just different fabrics. I like to make them in lots of different fabrics to suit the individual personalities of your dolls.

I think I’m going to aim for more Sunday evening listings again like last week.

I know a lot of you are still asking me for crochet work so I will try to get back into that next week.

So, see you Sunday!

Hello and good evening,

I’ve been trying to be a good productive girl after having a few days of new doll distraction. I developed another sewn pattern that my girls love. I hope you will too! I’ve been working up two dresses a day so I plan to have ten to offer by the end of the week. I think Sunday night is a good time to shoot for listing as long as my girls cooperate well for a photo shoot. The models do get fussy sometimes you know!

Hello!

Looks like I should be listing tomorrow night on etsy. Today I added more black cameo necklaces. This is all that is left for now so act quick if you have been wanting one! I think they are a great purchase for the price. It’s one of those things you just end up using all the time, at least I do!

Let’s see, I’ve got two pink cloches ready, two antique pink floral trellis tops, one in raspberry as well as three vintage fabric blouses. I just started a brown puff sleeve sweater today to have ready for tomorrow.

I would have some darling vintage cat fabric dresses but it’s black fabric and it irons so fussy.I probably need to turn my iron setting down for this fabric. Maybe a quick wash will cure it and I can offer one or two of those as well.
