Dollstown Mini discussion part 6

Yes.

Well, it really depends on whether I have a coinsidence of time and energy to have a go myself, and if that happens, what the finished result is like (whether I keep it or wipe it and send it off to someone).

EDITED TO ADD:
No nfaceup yet, of course, I put the head on and dug out a wig and some cltohes just to give an idea of how it works:

But we'd never have known if you hadn't mentioned it. Good luck finding the headcap and with your next attempty at the lashes (I hate doing lashes, it's so fiddley!)

They're pretty much interchangeable, I think. I have the Alina head on both 7Year and 5Year bodies:


And several here have mix-ed-and-matched between the 5Year and 7Year heads and bodies

I have my new 7Year girl together... well the body is the 7Year, the head is Ninodoll Shampoo:

They're stolen from January's clothes box. The socks are from Dale Rae. I must order some more so this girl has her own to use (and shoes)

I made her a more 40's/50's style outfit from an adapted pattern for a Shirley Temple doll yesterday, but the patterns need more alteration before I make anything else as the lengthened skirt needs more fullness to balance it out for the right silhouette (and the matching all-in-one "playsuit" under it needs more fullness in the legs and sleeves):


EDITED TO ADD : Named at last - Delphinium, or Phinnie for short.

Thanks Jane.

Another stand alone since she's decided to go 50's (not that there's enough space for any of my lot to be truly stand alone in terms of the space tey occupy so she'll probably end up sitting with January, or the Blacket girls, Winnie and Phige).

Thanks for a day off work yesterday (to avoid the boring annual staff conference), I've nearly finished another dress for her (just the hem, handwork, and fastenings left to do) from the same adapted set of patterns, but I'm hoping she will eventually have oufits from 1950s, 1850s, 1750s, 1650s, 1550s, and 1450's (possibly earlier too, but I'd have to do more research for those as they aren't periods I've researched for full-sized costume).

However, since I have more plans for clothes for my dolls than I'm ever likely to get around to making, we'll have to see what she actually ends up with.

EDITED TO ADD: I worked the hem and sewed the lining down inside the dress this morning (when I should have been tidying the sewing room). It's pinned shut but at least Phinnie could try it on for a picture:


EDITED AGAIN TO ADD: I snuck a bit more time to sew the last of the outtfits I cut out while adapting the pattern. This time the adatptations made for a perfect fit: Phinnie (Ninodoll Shampoo/DollsTown 7Year) tries on her new outfit

Yay! Congrats!
