This is so easy to follow and very professional. If you want to see if doll clothes are for you, get this series of patterns! I’m going to buy more but for now I’m trying to make all the variations before I move on. Allow me to quote from the last line of the directions, “Now you know 95% of all sewing techniques involved in doll clothes.”
There may be some overlap from my other reviews - ah, the joys of cut and paste!
Currently, this is the group I purchase the most patterns for; it is marvellous to find so many wonderful ideas for Curvies! As soon as I saw this one, it was in my basket.
This pattern, Level Up!, is fantastic for the step by step detail that has been provided, as I'm sure others have commented. It encourages those new to the craft and is a great starting point for those who are more experienced and/or creative. I should also mention that I hand sew many of the outfits I've made from your other patterns, despite having a sewing machine, so one need not be discouraged if they don't have a machine at their disposal.
Thank you for your work and generosity!
I have been a fan of RAD for over a year, probably two years, now. I have to say, this is EXACTLY what I have wanted. This pattern is the tutorial that shows me the designers magic art to making the clothes look amazing. I love the economic conservative style of the usual patterns, when printing, but sewing for 1/6 scale is really hard for me and this tutorial has given me hope to try again! YOU should try it, and don't give up, sewing for dolls is hard, but you'll feel so accomplished when you get it!
The instructions were easy to follow and I could make two Barbie sized dirndl outfits in a very short time. I certainly want the pattern in 1/3 scale, too - for my Smart Dolls
I have always wanted to make dirndls for my dolls. This pattern is absolutely perfect. I liked it so much that I made 6 outfits in a row. Great!
Perfect, straightforward, and easy instructions! I really appreciate that you’re also directed towards which fabrics work best, very helpful for a beginner.

I fancy it!!
I sew clothes for my niece's dolls easier . She's enjoying playing a lot of roles.
It's an amazing pattern!!!
I’ve been eyeing the RenFaire costume pattern & bought it as part of the costume bundle. 2 of the patterns didn’t download properly. RAD responded to my email that day, and fixed the situation so I can begin sewing. I’ve purchased from RAD before, and her designs & instructions are great. I can’t wait to make the outfits from this bundle!
This pattern was SO easy and very simple to edit to make into a bodysuit with only one arm/one leg (I am making Taylor Swift's Reputation Era body suit). It saved me SO much hassle! 10/10 reccomended.
So far I've sewn a t-shirt and shorts (sewn before the doll arrived, they fit great), and have plans for a dress.
I am very impressed by how much came with this bundle! The instructions were really clear and easy to follow (and I’m a complete beginner). I love that there are more advanced options mixed in so I can continue to learn from this pattern as my skills increase. The little hints and tips show that all these patterns were really well thought out and “idiot-proofed” which I am highly appreciative of!
I have never sewn doll clothing before, but I do a lot of other types of sewing. I needed a pattern for a Slate Cave Club doll. This isn't a popular doll to customize, but the head was the right shape for what I was doing. I bought this set of patterns, and they were big, but printed out at 80% got me close enough to make it work. The pattern pieces worked well, and matched up together. I will buy more here when I need them for the next doll.
Amazing pattern with easy to follow instructions. It's easy to upscale as well. I was able to make a dress for a mh doll as well as another brand that was about twice the size.
Freebie, but can't go wrong with a good underwear pattern! RAD patterns are all I'll use for years now, I've never been less than thrilled and I've had phenomenal experiences when requesting help/tips.
