Doll Clothes copyright?

Hello thank you for taking the time to read my question, I’m member of a web based forum about the collecting and customizing ABJD’s ( Asian ball jointed dolls) There has been an ongoing debate about whether or not doll clothing and outfits are or can be copyrighted?

An example of this would be if a seamstress on the forum is commissioned by another user to make him or her an Outfit based on a design from a doll companies outfit. Would this be considered copyright infringement?

Is it true that only labels and graphics can be copyrighted? Not the basic design of the clothes.
