Spent the week making two custom-order little pink lace dresses for LittleFees, since the ones I made for Cinnamon are a touch too small. Now I'm working on designing well-fitting patterns for my Super Gem. There are several outfits I have planned for her - a pink/lavender fairy, a spring goddess, and a Celtic maiden - but first I have to design bodice patterns for all three outfits. The problem is the doll's large bust and very small waist. It's a lengthy process - make paper-towel test patterns , then sew a fabric bodice, try it on, make adjustments, sew another test bodice, and so on - until I like the results.  Even though I'm normally a 'patient' person, I don't like 'experimenting' and I want things to work the first time. I'm really looking forward to seeing Cuprit in her first outfit!

Good luck with the fitting.
I also own a SG (an Amber) and they are an odd size and have a healthy figure.
Its nice to see more people making clothes for them. Wish I could afford one of your outfits right now.

Thanks! Drafting the patterns is the worst part of making doll costumes.

With Soom being so 'fantasy-oriented' I figured I needed a Super Gem as a costume model. They sure are big though!

You truly make it appear so simple together with your presentation but I locate this topic to be truly something which I assume I would by no means understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your subsequent post.
