After making Barbie a Cottagecore inspired dress, I figured I should make a whole series trying out different fashion aesthetic for my dolls. And what better way than to start with the something big. Let's sew the most popular aesthetic to come from TikTok, the E-boy aesthetic

What is an E-boy?

E-boy (technically means 'electronic boy') are a youth subculture that you see a lot on social media specifically TikTok. They have a middle part hair, painted black nails and wears a lot of black oversized shirts. Their style really reminds me of the late 2000's emo style but mixed in with other alternative fashions like scene, goth, grunge and punk.

Although e-boys have a bad reputation (my guess is for making cringy tiktok videos) I do love their fashion style, so we'll try recreating them for Ken

I have 2 styles you can choose from, both equally easy to make

1. The Iconic Look

When I think of E-boy, this is definitely what comes to my mind. An oversized black tee with a black and white stripe long sleeves layered inside. Tuck in the shirt, add tons of chain accessories and we have the e-boy look. I don't know about you but I think I nailed the look well. To recreate this outfit make sure to check out the video tutorial I made on YouTube where I show you the steps on how I made this.

2. Preppy E-boy

This is another e-boy outfit you can make, its more on the preppy side compare to the edgy outfit from before. And if you notice there are a lot of layering clothes happening in this style which is quite a challenge while working on the doll patterns. Fortunately it works out well and the outfits look great.

How to Print My Doll Patterns (The Correct Way)

If you guys watch my YouTube channel, you know I made my Licca-chan doll a puff sleeve dress. Well I figured its about time I made a Barbie version of that dress.

But compare to the adorable princess-like dress I created before, I alter it a bit to be more mature and sexy feminine. And I come up with two dresses you can choose from, both giving different vibes from one other 

1. The Basic Dress

Like the name suggest, this is just a simple basic puff sleeve dress you always see on Pinterest. Only at the front though, because the back of the dress is really where the magic happens. I added strings on the back to tie in a ribbon to make the dress fit more and honestly for the aesthetics. This is the biggest difference between the dress I made for Licca-chan where I utilize the back dress instead more.
