OMG!! That chainmail is REAL! I thought you found a fabric that looked like chainmail. How many hours of work did you put into that outfit? Is that a halter top or halter dress? I'd like to copy it. Is it from a pattern? Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks @IngieBee and @Violet Kidd - Yes the chain mail is real, but I didn't make it. I tried that once years ago and it took a week to make one tiny square inch. My eyesight is much worse now so I wouldn't even try. So I ordered it from China. Two square foot samples from - Soft Stainless Steel Anti Cut Chainmail Screen - Buy Chainmail Screen,Anti Cut Chainmail Screen,Soft Stainless Steel Anti Cut Chainmail Screen Product on Alibaba.com. They sent it as a piece two feet by one foot. I took some photos when it arrived... I do make sure to have fabric underneath so the chain mail never touches the doll itself, and only use the chainmail in areas where it would show. I don't make an entire bulky garment out of it, as I don't really care about 'historical accuracy' so I'm only into suggesting that there's chain mail underneath.
Wow, what a compliment! I'm giddy, but unfortunately, this was a sock competition from DoA that I ended up liking. It's a halter top with a skirt made from a shiny sock, then I made stockings from big stockings (also socks) and then I made a shrug, not shown, with a more lacy stocking, LOL. So I don't have a pattern However, I can try to make one, it'll take a little time, but I think I can get one together this week Oh, I remember @MB Lilac so amazing!
I love how their horses are blushed, it really adds to the DEPTH of their world and it's such inspiration.
@IngieBee - Thank you. @petiteballerine - LOL. It's a good thing she had it on since it was super windy, and it helped keep her hair in place. @Anneke - Thanks. I felt the horses need a bit of 'help', so blushed them and made new tack for them all.
Kalysta, my gray Mari, got a new gown, so also got a new photo Diamond Dusted Pink LR by wizgerg3, on Flickr
I need to take some new photos of my gal - just been busy lately. BUT new thread needs spam so here's a pic I probably posted already So happy by Ban, on Flickr
I love how you captured her, looking to the side, distracted, and she feels like she's moving She looks so youthful with a slight punky air, very charming @Ban Sidhe
That is a great shot! Definitely feels like you've captured movement with the way her wig is, like you've caught her in the middle of turning.
Yes, due to the pandemic, EMS only has their premium service right now At least, that's how I understand it. I can't see paying so much for shipping, I haven't bought from Iplehouse because the shipping hurt too much
Now why do your FID Iplehouse dolls look so good on their Battat horses, and my Mari looks like she's on a mutant?
