And Blanchettes dress is definitely "special". As I'm picking it apart I can't believe all the effort that I put into that dress so long ago - it must have taken forever to make. Thankfully it was all neatly sewn together, with very limited use of any glue - just to hold the wired pearls into position between the flower petals around the neckline - and that glue has turned all yellow.
I'm going to remake the ensemble to fit my Isar. Her large bust fits almost perfectly into Blanchette's dress bodice. The skirts are a touch long, but since I have to rework them all onto new waistbands, that's easy enough to fix. Isar is too old to be a companion to my new young Adrian, who has Blanchette's true love's outfit now, but maybe someday I'll order a younger-looking girl with a large bust from Iplehouse. In the meantime it's going to be Isar's.
