Smart Doll Clothing Style

I was wondering if anyone else really likes the quality of the smart doll clothing, but is really sad that they only seem to sell one style of clothing. 

It looks like all the clothing sold on the smart doll site are more of the rugged and weathered style, but that doesn’t fit with my doll’s character. I love fashion myself, so I want to dress my girl in nice clothing that fits her.  

I know Danny has a style he likes, but I feel he could branch out a little. There’s so many other styles out there. I mean Japan is home to Harajuku and Shibuya, why not have some yumekawa or gyaru clothes?? It would also be nice to have some more “fun” type clothes, like school uniforms, maid dresses, and other stuff. 

Do you think Danny will ever branch out? Because I know at least I would drop a nice chunk of change for an outfit if I thought it was cute.

He did have traditional yukata and maid uniforms but most of it is sold out and discontinued now. I'm a fan of casual styles but more variety would be nice. Due to the cost, I tend to buy most of my Smart Dolls' clothing from Etsy and secondhand sources. 

Hm, I have noticed that aswell. Having a section of cutesy, softer clothes would likely market well, but I suppose SmD, in Danny's head, are supposed to be more realistic, casual dolls. I dunno.

The quality is good, but the variety, not so much.  The prices also seem to be a bit hefty, especially considering a lot of the official Volks outfits - outfits, mind you - can be about the same price as a single article of clothing.

I am very disappointed that I cannot get clothing for my boys now.  The variety, and now pants, are gone.  I am willing to buy items if they are available, but I also want to diversify in the selection.  They don't all need the same white shirt, if you know what I mean...

Dany says the clothes have to fit his dedication to “wabi sabi” so that’s why they’re casual and weathered. He wants them to be clothes a doll can go adventuring in. I don’t think we’ll be seeing any harajuku styles any time soon. 

I totally agree with you! The clothes smart doll sells are really nice, but kinda.... bland? And while the quality is very good, I feel like I can find clothes of the same quality for much cheaper on Etsy. While I do wish smart doll would make more original clothing, I feel like they'd also sell it for superrrr expensive. Like, the summer uniform was really cute, but it was around 150 USD I believe?

I agree with all of you here.  I love my Doll clothing from the Smart Doll shop.  I think the uniform in the store now is cute, but it's so grey.  If they release another cute uniform with some more pretty colors then I will definitely buy it.  I would love a mix of casual adventure clothes, and cute dressup clothes. 

I love the quality workmanship of his clothing, but material choice and style of most items makes me not want to purchase and especially for the price he charges for each item.

At the moment he’s selling that Britannia dress which I really like the design of, but I can’t stand the massive union jack on the front of it. I’m hoping (but doubtful) he’ll make a plain version sometime in the near future.

Hiroshima denim items are another love it/hate it item. I love them because of the build quality and design, but I hate that deep blue look to the denim. I have the skirt that I’ve tried multiple times now with no success to fade but it just won’t give.

I do like the hiroshima jeans a lot.  I have them for Prowess.  I have the pink jean shorts too, which are super cute paired with one of the t-shirts or the nice lace top.  But sometimes I don't want casual or "adventure" clothes and I just need to dress her up to be ultra adorable and super cute.  I would love some more goth loli stuff if I could find things that would fit her well.  So far I've ordered from etsy this outfit and these knee socks to fill some of the gap left by the Culture Japan store offerings.  I bet these kinds of cute outfits would sell super well if Danny would have them in the official store.
