I have two baby elves from DreamHigh Studio, but they are not twins. I ordered one when they were first released, and after she arrived DHS released her again with a set of different faceplates. So I had to order another. I had made a tiny dress and nightgown for the first one - baby Mika - so when Gabi arrived she ended up in Mika's nightgown for the good part of a year. So in January I decided to finally make Gabi a dress and nightgown of her own. Her nightgown would be identical, but I wanted her dress to be a little different... The new dress ended up a bit too long, and I couldn't shorten it at the hem, and I didn't want to pick the whole dress apart to cut some off the top, so I stitched a tuck into the skirt.... Gabi and Mika in their similar, but different dresses.... The two identical nightgowns... The girls ready for bed...

Both dresses are really cute. It is always encouraging when you show how you remedy problems that happen when you are creating an outfit. A "mistake" can be turned into something quite nice if you stop to think what can be done about it. Discouragement gives way to satisfaction.

Thank you! I wanted Gabi's dress to look a bit more 'babyish' but the long skirt was all wrong. It would have been nicer without the tuck, but it is what it is.

What little cuties! Somehow I can hear them breaking into the chorus of Sisters, Sisters from the old Bing Crosby movie.
