I try to avoid maligning other crafters, for there's beauty in all creations. Everything takes time to sew, knit, or crochet, and every effort should be celebrated.
And then there's the o_O creations people sell on Etsy. They're made using fabrics which don't suit a pattern well, they're made using a bad pattern, the color choice is all over the place... it's just wrong. Very, very wrong.
Here's what happens when bad clothes happen to good dolls... this is from Etsy and eBay.
Again, the ruffle ruins the outfit. Without the full bottom ruffle, and even leaving the top red one, and it'd be MUCH cuter, IMHO.
Color choice on this one. The dress design doesn't do well with a "busy" print like this paisley. And the buttons would look better in ONE color.
I'm a Seahawks fan, being a native Northwesterner. But this print is just "too big" for the size of this dress and the doll.
Too much going on here. Dress with the butterflies and flowers and neons, well, it just looks like fabric vomit.
It looks like wallpaper. And the crafter, from eBay, wants $84.95 for it. Um, FAIL. If I was gonna spend $85 on a dress for a doll, it'd be something like the following dress...
NOT A FAIL... the colors, pattern, and trim all work with this dress. And it's $25 less than the previous one, which would be enough to buy an AG outfit from eBay, or something similar.

The ruffle is just too much. And the print, well, too busy to be THAT widely used. On the top or on the bottom and it wouldn't be as bad.
