>>5846602Most fabric places will let you get way smaller amounts. I find 1/8 of a yard (not sure equivalent in meters) is more than enough for a few outfits. Also I tend to buy used clothing at thrift stores for making doll things with. I don't know how it is in other countries, but in the US its currently a pain in the ass to find a fabric store that has good garment clothing (as opposed to decorative and quilting cotton), so often its way easier and more cost effective. A genera rule of thumb is to hold the fabric out and drape it over your finger so a few inches hang down. If it falls straight or nearly straight down, its usually gonna look ok in scale. If it sticks straight out or at more than a 45 degree angle its gonna be way too stiff to look right.
As a starting point I usually work in very light weight stretch knit, light summer weight cotton, batiste, summer weight rayon, and glove leather. Don't be afraid to look at the higher end fabrics, they're usually way finer and softer and given how little you need, they'll only be a few dollars for several outfits worth. You can also sometimes get samples from places online. They'll tend to be about the size of an index card but sometimes thats enough for a single shirt or skirt.
