The image shows the 18-inch BFC Ink Kaitlin doll wearing handmade shorts with an elastic waistband and a lace-trimmed (and rick rack trimmed) short-sleeved shirt made of the same springtime yellow fabric as the shorts. She wears glittery pink high-top sneakers with the whole ensemble and her hair is pulled up in a pony tail. She's looking closely at a poster on the wall of the diorama in which she stands. The poster advertisement says "Galway Kinnel" and is a retro-style poster for a poetry reading at the University of Arizona Poetry Center. The wording slightly resembles piano keys but instead of white ivory, the lines of the keys are made of oak-like wood. The watermark on this image says you can find free doll clothes patterns and tutorials at Chelly Wood dot com.

The image shows a BFC Ink doll standing next to a Hearts for Hearts Girl (Consuelo). They both wear felt shirts with no sleeves. The BFC Ink doll's clothes can be described like this: white felt sleeveless top with blue plaid skirt that has knife pleats. The skirt is knee-length on the BFC Ink doll. The Hearts4Hearts doll's clothes can be described thus: pink sleeveless top with knee-length polka dot skirt. The image is part of a hashtag tape measure Tuesday measurements comparison on ChellyWood.com, which is meant to help doll clothes sewists / seamstresses with doll measurements for sewing projects. The image should be compared to another similar image toward the bottom of the blog post, in which the two dolls stand side by side again, but wearing each other's clothing in a clothes swap.

The image shows Consuelo, one of the Hearts for Hearts Girls, wearing a handmade skirt with lace trim and a bright yellow blouse with lace trim and a "scalloped-look" rickrack trim around the bottom of the shirt and the edges of the sleeves of the shirt. The neckline of the shirt is square. The doll stands in an outdoor garden near a brick wall.

The image shows vintage Crissy doll (from Ideal Toy Co.) wearing handmade doll clothes including an easy to sew felt shirt and polka dot skirt. Beside this image is a photo of a BFC Ink doll from MGA Entertainment Toys and Games. The BFC Ink doll wears handmade doll clothes as well, including in her outfit a v-neck blouse and embellished spotty skirt. Both dolls are posed in lovely diorama scenes: the Crissy doll stands between two palm trees on a beach; the retired BFC Ink doll (Best Friends Club Ink) appears to be in an art museum with a 1970’s poster on the wall behind her.
