Many factors come into play when you are looking for or creating heirloom quality doll dresses. One of the most important factors is using the right fabrics, trims and embellishments! Because we only use appropriate fabrics, trims and embellishments in the creation of the heirloom quality doll dresses we sell, we frequently refer to these details in our product descriptions. Over the years I have gotten many emails asking about these terms and what they mean.
Here you can find free information about the fabrics, trims and embellishments we use as well as premium (subscribers only) articles on how to properly select and use materials in the creation of your own heirloom quality doll clothes.
