From time to time I'll have sewing workshops with my very talented sister, Lorentine. I am one of those who appreciate and sees the necessity of teamwork to enhance your own skills. Your never better than the people that works around you, right? So I consider myself VERY lucky to be able to sew and learn with my sister - it's a great way to be a better seamstress. Last weekend we had such a sewing workshop and it resulted in two patterns for my MSD-sized doll, Ella. Since she is an Iplehouse JID girl practically no other MSD clothes fit her (JID girls are know for their more curvy and realistic proportions in comparison to the great amount of slim MSD's which have more anime/cartoon-ish proportions). Therefore, creating patterns and making her clothes is a high priority for me. I like to have lots of different outfits to choose from during photoshoots and at the moment Ella has only a few different outfits :(
Sadly, none of the patterns worked perfect though. The tights are too big and the top is WAY too big, but they are a starting point and I now know how to tweak the pattern to make it perfect! She also got her new wig from Leekeworld (a heat-resistant Dollga wig) and I have to say - it's lovely and more importantly, it's perfect for Ella.
Anyway - here she is! My one and only MSD girl (and biggest dollie!). The boots are from Dollmore - love them. They are a little on the large size but that actually looks better in my opinion - after all, they are supposed to be boots and boots are allowed to look big(-ish).
