Harumika Mannequin Lucia Review

I purchased this extra mannequin for my granddaughter to add to her original Harumika set. The original set only had a dress form (no limbs or head) and I thought she would enjoy seeing her creations on a full doll model. She and her friends spend many hours creating fashions. They photograph their creations and make catalogs of them.
A very creative toy that uses a youngster's imagination rather than batteries!

Hanfu Chinese Dress and Kimono Pattern in 2 Sizes: For 18" American Girl Dolls and for 18" Slim Dolls Review

Hanfu Chinese Dress and Kimono Pattern in 2 Sizes: For 18 American Girl Dolls and for 18 Slim Dolls

This pattern offers 2 outfits, a Chinese one and a Japanese one. The pattern pieces are clearly marked for which ones are for AG and which are Slim Body. Some are for both. One thing I wasn't sure of when I got this, and will answer here if other buyers wonder, is that the pattern pieces are made of paper, not tissue like Simplicity or McCalls.
The instructions are good, especially if you've been sewing a while and have some intuition as to what to do anyway. A new sewer may have some questions. On the Carpatina website, the images behind the pictures of the pattern are what the instructions look like, with black and white photos of the work in progress.
I really like that at the end of the instructions are a few paragraphs telling the history of the outfits.

Harumika Style Starter Sets Wild One Review

My eleven-year-old daughter is a hard one to buy for. She sometimes still clings to her dolls and things, but not when friends are around. She wants an Ipod, a laptop, a cell phone, all of those expensive, technologically-based items that are expensive, and, oftentimes, inappropriate for her age group.
She and I enjoy watching Project Runway together, and when I saw an advertisement for the Harumika products, I was intrigued - I couldn't tell exactly how it worked with the fabric, but it seemed like a great way to encourage girls (or boys, or adults really) to have fun, and express their creativity.
I purchased this, intending to give it as a birthday gift, but honestly I was so excited when the box came, I knew I couldn't wait. The minute she opened the box, she started creating - and hasn't stopped yet - I bought another set, so now she has a total of three of the dress forms - and additional pieces of fabric. I think that is plenty, as you can use scraps of your own fabric and trims to make endless styles.
Thus far, the product has been quite durable, the value for what little you get is worthwhile when you consider what you can add from your own stash of fabric remnants (or what you pick up at a fabric store from their scrap sales).
Highly recommended by my eleven-year-old, and by me.

My daughter asks for very little and it is hard to know what to buy for special occasions. She say the adds for this and it was the only thing she asked for. I was putting a lot of hope in it being a fun. We also got some of the older Harumika bodice only mannequins and extra fabric as this does not come with much. She has really enjoyed playing with this. It is a fun idea and easy to do. My daughter just turned 9 years old. The only gripe is that the hair does not stay on easily. It is always falling off and this is annoying.

I had to order this when I ran across it here on amazon..I make doll clothes for american girl dolls and they are hard to fit just by guessing or stopping to fit each little piece on an actual doll that takes a lot of time, but once I got this doll dress form..the job is much easier..Having the soft cloth body, you can stick pins in it to hold the various pieces so you get a nice fit..It saves a lot of time..and it is small enough you can move it from one place to another, take it with you if you're working on the go.. and it is easy to store..
