This lovely antique doll needed a new outfit and the commission was a welcome a change of pace. Working in miniature for dolls can be challenging but clothing construction for both humans and dolls has been part of my repertoire since I was a teenager. I chose the striped fabric as my starting point because it had a vintage look to it and the concept grew from there. I made her a unique full outfit including pantaloons, a petticoat, a blouse, a skirt, a jacket and a hat, all trimmed with a variety of lace and ribbons. Isn’t she sweet?
Sue,
Did you receive the picture of the octopus I sent you?
Hi Mary!! Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but I was in Florida with Mom and I just got back! No, I did not receive any photographs from you. Did you send one of the Octopus bench assembled? I would really like that! Hope all is well. Sue
