Why? Because these are the absolutely BEST Toni doll dresses currently available. This artist actually uses material that is appropriate for the era the doll is from as well as choosing prints that are appropriate for the doll’s size.
This artist makes all of her own patterns. As I read her site I found it is because the “original” patterns that were available for making doll clothes, back when these were play dolls and not necessarily collectible dolls, were designed to fit too many types of dolls. Thus, the resulting outfits didn’t fit any of the dolls the patter was made for well.

We just discovered that Stella is offering this hot new fashion doll “Momoko Doll” from Japan.
The Momoko Doll is a 1/6 scale (27 cm, 10.6 inch) Japanese fashion doll, similar in size to Robert Tonner’s Tiny Kitty Collier, the Momoko doll is a wonderful addition to any fashion doll collection.
Momoko was created in 2001 as a side project by a Japanese software company called Petworks. (The creator was Namie Manabe the art director.)
In 2004, Petworks handed production of Momoko to doll-making firm Sekiguchi. Sekiguchi made some changes to the doll and turned it into a mass-market item competitively priced with other fashion dolls, while keeping the idea of an “everyday” modern woman one might find walking down the street in Japan.
We found Momoko for sale at our favorite online doll shop Stella’s Treasures (http://stellastreasures.com).
