ensemble, so I can't glue things into it.
Well, I'm finished the first of two Victorian ball-gowns. I've made several Victorian-style gowns for dolls in the past, but those were sewn directly onto the doll. This was the very first time I've made one that had to be removable. I really like how it turned out. Her hair seems a bit "plain" but that's because the wig isn't part of the ensemble, so I can't glue things into it. Now to finish cleaning everything up, and make a "swatch card" to take to
the fabric store with me when I go looking for wine and pink ribbons for the second gown.

Thanks! I don't know if my garden will work for this gown - I'll have to see. I wish I had some nice interior spot - something that looks "palatial". Maybe the bottom of the dining room cupboard.

maybe it's time to bring your photoshop skills up to the next level and crop her into an interior palace shot or garden. White cat ring a bell??

I prefer a real setting. There's companies in China that actually make photo back-drops for doll photography - you name it, they have it. Maybe it's time to invest in one or two.
