I'm back! Graduated college and moved far far away, with only two suitcases and a backpack to call my own. The Journey Girl you see on the left is now my only doll. I chose a Journey Girl because they're a bit slimmer than American Girls (can use more layers in their clothing) and the plastic in their torso means that they can wear lower necklines--and she still has a squishy waist you can stick pins in! Her mouth kind of freaks me out though. The lips are cute, but too detailed compared to the rest of the face. |

When Eun-jae must become a rich noble woman in 1800's France, she obviously needs a proper wardrobe. This is actually based off of a wedding dress, but Eun-jae is not the sort to be interested in weddings, so I'm going to call it a "special occasion" outfit. In brown and with fewer ruffles and less embroidery, it looks less like a wedding dress to my eyes. This is a dress (or rather, a blouse and skirt) that I'm not likely to sew any time soon. It's got princess seams, a yoke, ruffly things, cuffs... I need to level up a few times before attempting this. The skirt looks okay though. Not that Eun-jae needs any more skirts. This dress would be a good opportunity to get a more... traditional wig for Eun-jae. What kind of time-traveling secret agent walks around with short purple hair all the time? Hello again! It's been a few weeks. Sorry--I've been without access to fabric, fabric scissors, or doll. Still am. But here's some sketches to help tide you over for a week or two. Eun-jae needs more clothes than a couple of kimono and some underwear. She needs a more versatile outfit for wandering unnoticed, as she is wont. Enter the College Student Disguise. The jacket will help ward off breezes in the evening on the Quad, or at night when she's running across dormitory rooftops in a desperate hunt for ... something. It's inspired by an image in Dolly Bureau, although apparently that pattern has a hood. I doubt the hood will fit a Pullip's head! I'm considering whether to remove the hood, leave it, or resize it. I'll have to check the pattern to see how easily it modifies. The t-shirt should be easy. (The Kingdom Hearts key symbol works to make her masterful disguise even more convincing.) As for the jeans, I'll use this guide if I don't find anything better. The trouble may be finding sufficiently thin denim. I bought Dolly Bureau a couple days ago--it'll arrive on the 7th, and in a week or so I'll be able to start making clothes again. |
