So last week, I talked about everything you needed to know about Blythe dolls. But now is the question: which places can I trust to get good quality dolls, and also specific Blythe doll clothes?
Table of Contents
Today, I will try to help you out with that and review 5 stores that sell (custom-made) Blythe dolls, accessories, clothes/ and more.
Let’s get straight into things.
But first: why would you want to get custom Blythe doll clothes?
Dressing up your Blythe doll is so much part of the fun of owning these types of dolls.
Off course, you can find mass-produced clothing for your Blythe dolls in stores and online, but it can be so much fun to have custom-made Blythe doll’s clothing because it sets you apart from the rest!
Let me share a few advantages of custom-made clothes:
- First, custom-made Blythe doll clothes usually have a much higher quality than mass-produced clothing.
- When you order a custom-made outfit for your Blythe doll, you can ask some designers for your own choice of fabrics, colors and style that suits you and which is perfectly tailored to your doll!
- When you dress up your Blythe dolls in a custom-made outfit, you are not limited to what’s available in stores, and you will have clothes that you won’t find anywhere else.
- The last advantage is that you are supporting independent designers and artisans who are passionate about their craft!
When you purchase a custom-made Blythe outfit, you will be supporting a small business that creates handmade things, which is always a good thing!

How to create your own Blythe doll clothes?
Would you like to sew your own Blythe doll clothes? Of course, this is totally possible as well.
And there are multiple tutorials online on how to do this, as you can see in the video below:
Can Blythe dolls wear Barbie clothes?
Yes, Blythe dolls can definitely wear most clothes from Barbie, especially the stretchy ones. The only thing that won’t fit on a Blythe doll, are the long pants from Barbie.
Both the Blythe dolls and Barbie have the same height, but you need to consider the big head of the Blythe doll when trying on Barbie clothes.
Just 1 More Thing: Look Out For FAKE Blythe Dolls! How can you tell if a Blythe doll is real?
Beware: If you encounter a Blythe doll that has the words “Factory”, “TBL” or “nude doll” with no actual release name in the description, then it is possible that you buy a fake Blythe doll. Always check out the reviews of the shop and the other things that they are selling.
TBL means Taobao ‘Blythe’, and it was a website that had Blyth dolls with very imaginative copies of the dolls.
People tend to have different opinions on what’s possibly fake and what’s not, like in the video below.
As I am not specialized in this, I would rather leave it up to you if what the person in this video is saying is correct or not, but it is quite interesting what she has to say on the topic!
My Final Conclusion.
As I mentioned in my previous blog post on Blythe dolls, these are quite intriguing to me and I can imagine that people want to buy them for a vintage collection. I kind of ‘grew’ into them (I wasn’t too enthusiastic about them at first, to be honest).
But my guess is that you are if you ended up on this page haha! So I wish you a lot of fun with your pretty dolls and collection!
My question to you is: will you put them in a dollhouse of your own or just place them somewhere on a shelf?
Please let me know below in a comment or why not tell everybody in my Facebook group? 🙂
Best regards,
Lizzy

Hi everyone!
My name is Lizzy, and I am an amateur miniaturist obsessed with everything in the dollhouse and miniature world, ever since I was a teenager.
So far, I have created 2 dollhouse projects, a backyard shed and a miniature treehouse, tons of DIY dollhouse kits, and “hacked” some.
I also created a fairy garden, and lots of small and simple miniature projects on my YouTube channel. (mostly made from trash or everyday items).
I love to write as well about all things happening in the miniature world, hence the reason why I created this blog!
I wish you happy reading and crafting!
