Iplehouse Fashion Doll Discussion - Part 12

Ohhhhh...

My wildest dream wardrobe ideas for FID ladies?

I second the call for some classic movie inspired fashions, I think the FID girls would pull off those styles really well. Same with fantasy archer-- though I'm biased because my girl is usually a fantasy ranger, and she needs weapons. I would also LOVE to have some different regency fashions, ball gowns or horse-riding outfits... and I think there's always room for modern casual. Like, I LOVE the set that's shorts and a camisole and a mint green plaid shirt, my dream modern wardrobe for an FID girl would be a lot of things in line with that-- jeans, button-up shirts/flannels and maybe a cute cropped hoodie or something for layering over tanks/tees/sundresses, or an athleisure look for a sporty girl. I'd love to see pieces that could be put together with the modern clothes that already exist, so that outfits can be changed up a little.

I would also really love to see cute lingerie sets for the FID girls-- could be a bridal trousseau look, or just something that has a cute and girly vibe. Or maybe a bathing suit and cover-up/sun hat set? I could still use a bathing suit for a little modesty under a short skirt. Both options would allow for more photo-taking that shows off more of the beautiful sculpting on the body without putting my girl in the nude-- I have a girl on the athletic body and I'm SO in love with her sculpting but I want her at least a little covered up when I take pictures. The current lingerie sets aren't quite her style (though I love them for maybe my next girl), so a little more variety there would get me excited.

 

@Rivon horray! That's awesome!

 

Maro, I love the idea of old Hollywood fashions, maybe 40s and 50s styles. Also Regency fashions would be fun. As to everyday clothing, perhaps some items a little more high fashion, with lovely suits and gowns. And lingerie would always be welcome. Thank you so much for the opportunity to chime in with our ideas.

 

Runway styles. Street style.

 

Late to comment, perhaps, but can I just ditto all of this? Yes, please!

 

@maro Can the ladies have some of the beautiful uniforms like you do for some of the FID guys? I'd be all over something like that!

+1 to Greco-Roman styles and maybe while I'm dreaming, we can have something like Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra...?

He looks great, and so much older. I wouldn't have even guessed he was Eden.

 

He looks just fabulous! It's a great faceup for him.

 

Finally finished Miho's new gown. She was feeling left out since she didn't have anything appropriate to wear to events at the castle. I still need to make her a new wig, and some wings for when she's a sorceress, but at least her gown is done....

 

@MB Lilac That is a gorgeous gown!

 

Ooops, I fell off notifications and I was too busy this week or so to check, LOL Your Edan is a cutie there @JinCIncy

Oh my goodness @MB Lilac , your work just gets better and better. Maybe it's just at the top skill level any human can achieve but the new style makes me mesmerized as if I'm seeing your work for the first time, LOL

 

@nancy_schroeder_ca - Thank you. It did turn out rather well, even though it fought me at every stage. Sometimes I just have to let an outfit decide what it wants.
@IngieBee - Thanks. It was quite a struggle at times, because I'm slowly going blind, and it gets harder and harder to see what I'm doing - especially when beading. So I'm in a race against time to make the costumes I've always wanted to, before I can't any more.

 

@MB Lilac she is very lovely and whimsical looking. I'll have to go to your blog and see more details, such an inspiring look.

 

Is it myopic degeneration? Ugh, that's a bummer, but hopefully as one window closes, another will open! I sure hope so! In the mean time, everything you do is incredible! You're a true Master at your craft!

 

Thank you so much. I was diagnosed with macular degeneration eleven years ago, and it had been progressing slowly up until last year, but it's gotten a lot worse the past year. I also have cataracts and uncorrectable astigmatism. Once the cataracts are bad enough for surgery, I'm hoping that will help a little.

I've always had a deep need to make things, and can't even imagine not being able to see anymore. So I'm concentrating on making costumes and taking doll photos as much, and as long, as I can. But there's so many things I've always wanted to make, and then it's hard to choose which to do next. I'm hoping Rococo. Although I still need to make Miho some wings, and that may send me down the 'Fairy' path again. Who knows?

 

Ah yes, macula, I got mixed up. I'm sorry to hear that. It's tough to adapt to something like that, but I hope it will slow down for you . Gosh that's a tough one for such a talented visual artist! Fairy options would be really cute
