Resplendent Dolls

Official blog for my Etsy shop. Connect with me also @resplendentdolls on insta and TikTok! Sewing geek. One-woman creator of doll fashions & jewelry for most brands of fashion dolls out there: Fashion Royalty, Barbie, Tonner, Smart Doll, Gene, Alex, Franklin Mint, Sybarite, & Modsdoll, more! I haven’t yet scored a Kingdom doll for my collection, but some fashions will fit them. Shop is currently closed for an overhaul (2026). Back when I’m more organized! Meanwhile, enjoy the fashions & my idea boards! Thrilled to geek out with anyone about doll sewing techniques, vintage sewing machines, industrial machines, fixing up machines, anything sewing related! Hopeful to add an embroidery machine to my collection next year or so. Fav brands are Pfaff, Baby Lock, and Vintage Singer. I have plans to teach virtual sewing lessons in the future, and want to expand to human-scale plus size, inclusive fashions. RenFaire clothes, cosplay, drag queen, and historical costumes excite me too!

Here’s some photos I got back of a Downton Abbey style dress I made for this East 59th doll!! #MadewithMood Mood fabrics made most of it with a bit of vintage antique fabric to make the shawl :) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP1dkoQjIgj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ivalies’ Audrey doll (her fav!) is a hybrid I put together using the Mattel Barbie Breakfast at Tiffany’s head, with a Fashion Royalty Poppy Parker body in the White skin tone. Blush will also do nicely, but is much more rare.

White gown by me is a replica of the ball scene in My Fair Lady. Jewelry set also made by me. I will be revisiting this gown soon with actual beaded lace. This one was glued glitter, which was all I could find at the time.

I quickly learned glitter fabrics are terrible for your sewing machine, and I will no longer use them or allow glitter fabric in my sewing studios.

I would be happy to source this hybrid doll for you complete with the handcrafted Audrey gown & jewels. (Price to be determined, and is variable depending on current market values of the hybrid pieces needed.)

Ivalies’ Diana doll is a hybrid I created from the Franklin Mint head with the Tonner RBT-102 body. This body works really well for making the Franklin molds much more poseable!

The RBT-101 also works well. I felt the 102 more accurately represents Diana’s real life figure.

I am actively seeking all the needed materials & techniques to recreate Brandy’s gown in doll sizes.

I hope to replicate many famous princess’ dresses, plus more famous movie gowns and looks in the future!

A few of my most recent jewelry creations! These have not been listed for sale yet. Comment or message to lmk your interest for when I reopen shop!

All earrings are made with human-grade earring posts and are safe to share with your doll. :) If you need a hypoallergenic post variety, lmk and I can order them in for you for a small charge. I am now stocked in plastic posts as well, for dolls who don’t want to wear metal.

All of the FANTASTIC photos on this blog are by my lovely friend who wishes to remain anonymous, who goes by the name Ivalies for now. Her hobby is doll pics, and she builds & collects the lovely dioramas you see here.
