List of (Maybe) Useful Style Savvy Links

Nintendo of Japan's Official Girl's Mode Site
Nintendo of Japan's Official Girl's Mode 2 Site
Not extremely useful unless you can read a little Japanese, but still... Lots of pretty pictures.

Nintendo of America's Official Style Savvy: Fashion Forward Site
Packed to the brim with pretty pictures.

Marzipanini's New Style Boutique 2: Fashion Forward Guide
Probably one of the most comprehensive sources of information out there for Girl's Mode 3 / Style Savvy: Fashion Forward / New Style Boutique 2. Almost anything you could want to know about the game is covered there. There's also a long list of room codes from people all around the world.

Marzipanini's New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star Guide
Shaping up to be the #1 English-language resource for Girl's Mode 4 / New Style Boutique 3 / Style Savvy: Styling Star.

Sly Blue Blog
Sly Blue, also known as EvilOverlordXIII, and for a time on Miiverse, 801-chan (cue snickering), proved to be a kind of power-player in the Style Savvy: Fashion Forward community. Shortly before Miiverse ended, things started to transfer over to the blog. Sly's got some great outfits to show off.

Robz' savvy blog of Style Savvy
Another familiar face for me from Miiverse.

Style Savvy: Trendsetters Wiki at Wikia
This has been around for a few years now, so it's probably as complete as it's going to get... It's a fairly good resource for Trendsetters.

Style Savvy: Fashion Forward Wiki at Wikia
Not anywhere near as complete or thorough as Marzipanini's blogs, but still useful. Still in need of contributors.


Some Online Dress-Up Games and Character Makers

Doll Divine
A site that collects high-quality dress-up doll browser games. I highly recommend it if you like to play with clothes... It also offers a number of character makers, some of which are very imaginative.

Azalea's Dolls
There are some truly beautiful dress-up doll games here. Each of Azalea's own dolls is a work of art in itself, but they're works of art based around letting you make derivative works of art. Like Doll Divine, the site also hosts a number of other dolls than the creator's own.


And last but not least...
Some Really Old Stuff

The Big KiSS Page
The Kisekae Set System... This is very nostalgic for me. A very long time ago, as a scummy early-teen lurker (instead of a scummy adult lurker), I was looking for some kind of computer paper doll thingies, sure that it had to exist somewhere, and found this... I fell in love with it and spent years messing with the programs and trying to make my own dolls. (One of which you can see the preview of here.) In 2014, they dropped all paid subscriptions, so all of the hosted dolls were made free to download for a time... but the site doesn't appear to always be online.

There are a number of other old Kisekae Set System sites, but many have disappeared. Some traces exist in the Wayback Machine, for the curious... and there's still a little bit of presence on deviantArt. I don't really have the energy to go into it all here, but for those who want to dig a little, it makes for a kind of interesting history lesson on the evolution of early dress-up doll programs and dress-up games. It is pretty complicated and weird, though...
