About DebWest

Welcome to DebWest Designs. Sewing has been my hobby for 30 years. I recently rediscovered Fashion Dolls and have fallen in love with collecting and sewing for them. I have a wealth of vintage and modern fabrics in my personal collection and I would love to create something for your doll.

I really love fine fabrics and my collection reflects that love. It encompasses lightweight superfine wools, wool and silk blends, rayon, silk, silk taffeta, linen, and fine cottons. I do use faux fur and a few synthetics, but I prefer to work with natural fibers. Of course, my second hobby is collecting and shopping for fabric!

I work with a mixture of patterns and slopers which I have designed in addition to a few commercial and modified commercial patterns. All outfits are fully lined in natural china silk unless otherwise stated. Metal snap or hook and thread catches are used for closures.

Pricing is based upon the design selected, doll size, fabric, embellishment and edition size.

I have the following dolls on hand for modeling and design fitting: Tyler Wentworth, Alex, Gene, Fashion Royalty, Silkstone, Tiny Kitty Collier, CED, Bitty Bethany, Riley, Ann Estelle, Custom House AI and Petite AI, Luts Lishe, Elfdoll Ryung, Serendipity Alice and a Superdoll Sybarite.

I have been thrilled and honored to have designs selected to be included in magazines such as Fashion Doll Quarterly, Haute Doll, and High Maintenance and have won Blue Ribbons in competition at Robert Tonner’s Fashion by Design 2004 Chicago Convention.
