Disney Channel Fashion: Ally Part Two

Welcome to Ally of "Austin and Ally" Part Two for our new Disney Channel Fashion series.

Someone asked us to do this for other shows, and that was our plan -- 

so be sure to keep an eye out for those. :-)

Today we look at a another style that Ally wore in Season One.

Here we have a basic graphic tee with a bold floral cardigan and a button-up denim skirt.

It took us awhile to find a cardigan similar to this...

YesStyle provided two ideas...

Forever21 has three...

Vancl has a fun burn-out ruffle cardigan...

For these you can see that they tend to stop at or above the waistline.

But in general for patterned cardigans -- animal prints, stripes, and polka dots are in this season. And of course solid color cardigans are always in fashion, as well as ones with varsity or collegiate theming. From Hollister longer varsity-style cardigans....

As far as keeping with the Boho theme, from Urban Outfitters they are offering floral jackets for layering. Each of these jackets offers varying sleeve length and cuts.

This one has an angled bottom hem and zipper accents.

3/4 length sleeves

Muted color scheme

3/4 length sleeves

No collar.

Mini lapels for the collar.

Angled bottom hem.

And you need some ideas for button-down skirts?

Well, here ya go.... denim like Ally from UO...

From Revolve Clothing, a longer version with flare that we would personally shorten to above the knee for the dolls. Because they have short legs, any skirt that falls below the knee tends to look frumpy on zee dolls.

Or you could try corduroy, like this example from UO...

Or floral like this vintage style skirt from Free People...

Stay tuned for Ally Part Three!

We'll look at skinny belts, patterned skirts, feathers, and strapless dresses. :-)

Thanks for visiting us today!!!

Disney Channel Fashion: Ally of "Austin and Ally" Part One

If you are like us, you still have one more week of summer before school starts again.

And if you are like us, you are enjoying your final moments of summer by 

watching the Disney Channel non-stop.

What? 

It's one of the beauties of kid summers.

Sit on yer duff for days on end watching TV. ;-)

So we are a little behind the times, as we don't normally watch the DC during the school year. We didn't know about this show: "Austin & Ally." But now we do. It is the same formulaic farce that Disney offers with bad jokes that sometimes make you laugh, and a general happy-go-lucky feel to it. Perfect stuff for your brain during summer, haha.

Austin (the blonde kid) sings and plays music.

Ally writes that music. Her Dad owns a music shop down in Miami.

And that is pretty much it.

These four friends seen below get into various adventures.

I think they are teenagers, but we've never seen them in school.

They just hang around the mall all day like they are in a perpetual summer...

Not bad. Not bad.

Anyways.......

Ally is the one seated on the edge of the couch.

Brown and tan plaid, sleeveless shirt, layered over a bright yellow dress and 

cinched with a leather belt.

Boots and socks on her feeties.

We watched like 5 of these A&A shows in a row and got an idea.

"Why don't we talk about Disney Channel Fashion?"

So today we look at Ally, who is labeled as a "Boho Brights" kind of girl and 

definitely has a "uniform."

Vest. Tee shirt or tank top. Shortish skirt. Belt. Boots or booties. Dramatic necklaces.

Overall we are impressed with the use of layering, and the mixture of colors, patterns, and textures. Ally normally looks both dressed up and casual simultaneously.

Note the boot socks featured here, a winter 2011 trend that persists.

If you have doll (or human) boots that won't fit on the doll (or human) with socks underneath them, you can craft fake sock tops out of old socks or sleeves.

For dolls you can use baby socks from Target, Walmart, Kmart, etc. or from a local thrift shoppe.

We should probably do this ourselves and show you how... now that I think about it....

Anyway back to inspirations from Ally...

Vests and tops with studs, sequins and glitter are in.

Studs in general are something to think about.

From Urban Outfitters, the home of Boho...

Studded scarf

Studded shorts

Studded shirt

Studded boots

Also on the market are studded bags, belts, backpacks.

Large belts that help to define a waistline are in.

From Urban Outfitters...

And girly patterned skirts are a definite must.

From UO...

Stay tuned for Ally Part Two where we suggest more Trends to Sew!!!
