I started work on the bodice for Miho's gown. I basted a layer of lace and nylon tricot onto each individual section of the bodice, then basted the sections together before machine sewing.
This gown does take that kind of meticulous attention to detail, since the doll is not very tall, so all her clothes have to look perfect in order to look convincingly in scale.
Then I started to question my fabric choices. Should I keep going with the light green bodice, or start over with lace over the mottled satin, and lace over the tricot skirts? So I did a rough pinning of the fabrics onto the doll to get an idea of both options....

Well, I didn't care for the bodice on the right at all - it blends right into her skin colour - and it showed me that I was going in the right direction after all. So I'm continuing with my original idea.
