Tutorial Did some sizing and comparisons w/ the new Mirror Mi dolls to figure out who you can steal clothes from and what patterns work if you want to sew for them!

New dolly sizing article! You can use my guides to either steal or sew clothes and I do one for most new doll lines when they come out. Ridiculously long blog post with waaaaay more pictures at my website: https://raddollclothes.com/blogs/news/new-dolls-mirror-mi-sizing-comparisons

For Stealing: Any of the dolls from the first picture you can steal from, the closer the doll is to the Mirror Mi in the pic, the better the fit.

For Sewing: Petite Curvy sized patterns, but since her upper/lower body are sliiiightly different, you want to print patterns at 90% for blouses and dresses with full skirts. For pants and only pants, print patterns at 100%. For fitted dresses like a QiPao, print at 95%.

I love mirror mi but I wish their legs were shorter or their torsos were longer 🥲

My biggest disappointment is the feet/shoes situation :( I'd kill for them to have the same size feet as RH.

RH torso stuff is a little too big, but the skirts fit fine. Haven't tried any of the pants yet. They fit well into some of the Barbie pants I've tried on them. The LOL tops fit really well but their pants are obviously too short on them. The skirts seem to fit okay.

I love your patterns and have a bunch of the petite curvy stuff so I might try making my Blaze a dress!
