I find the scale reasonable...if it is indeed 14/18".? You can still maintain
detail with 'real patterns'; Small for me is 12" or below (which includes
'Barbie').? However I have see some doll house dolls (5/6" that have been
wonderfully rendered.? These dolls usually involve some glue or clothing that
is sewn on. There is a Smithsonian collection of character dolls of this sort
that certainly capture the historical periods they represent (About 4") Now
that is too small to do much but style/shape.
The biggest problem even in the quarter scale is finding patterned fabric, lace
and other trim that is consistent with the proportian of the doll and style.?
One can always use plain fabric of a proper weight.
