Using scissors or a craft knife, carefully cut out both dolls and their clothing items.
Alternativly use a Cricut if you have one avaialble.
Are there really over 300 combinations?
Well I got to 300 by multiplying the number of possible bottoms by the number of possible tops ( I also counted some items as both bottom and top)
Consider that the dresses can be used as just bottoms or just tops with layering.
Also consider the base outfit can combine with some outfits such as pants or skits to be top in its own.
I then considered any extra layering I could do with the sweater and this all added to the combinations.
I got to over 300 which means I have a math teacher either blessing me from heaven or rolling in his grave.
