I'm taking Lonnie and Kassia away to Charie's this evening for faceups and body blushing. It's been nice to have Lonnie here for a few days before she goes away, so I can design some patterns and start some clothes, so they'll be ready for when she comes back. I had always suspected Lonnie would fit the Victorian dress I made for a small porcelain doll many years ago, and it was a pretty good fit. The shoulders were too wide and the sleeves too long, so I picked the yoke trim off and removed the sleeves, shortened them, made the shoulders narrower, and then sewed everything back together. Now it fits perfectly.
I'm thinking I should make one or two tiny Victorian dresses for the smallest girls, so that next time I make some more Victorian Evening gowns for the Iplehouse JIDs, I can take some interesting "family photos" with the children watching their Mommas getting ready to go out.
I'm also working on a "Little Mary" dress from the last fabric from Mary's yellow birthday dress. Then Lonnie and her little sister can wear matching dresses. I think Lonnie will be either a blonde, or have light brown or reddish hair, but I only have one Tibetan lambskin wig the right colour and size, so that's what she's wearing for her first portrait.
I'm planning on having Kasia wear the elaborate white "Blanchette" dress, and she will also look best in blonde or light brown hair. I think I better make a few new wigs while the girls are away.
