Switching Outfits

I'm in the process of trying to decide which dolls to take a long on our fall trip - a Fantasy group, or a contemporary family?  Jan says take both. Okay, but I'd want both the groups to be like 'family' groups, with adults, teens and children. 

Last fall I took along Leona and Owen as the adults in a contemporary family group....

I really only have two actual couples, and would like to take different 'children' this time, so that means Owen and Leona can't be the 'contemporary' adults.

The last time we went out west to the Rockies, I took along a Fantasy group, which included Aeran and Kyle, who eventually became a couple. 

So I don't want them to go as a part of a Fantasy group this time. What to do?  I don't have any spare clothes this size, which means switching everyone's outfits around. Then I can see if I still need to make something new. So this morning I played "musical costumes", doing the old 'domino ' thing, bumping an outfit from one girl to another, and so on, switching everything around.....

I really like Leona in Isar's costume...

And it's very interesting seeing Aeran in contemporary clothes - for the very first time. I was pleasantly surprised that Leona's pants fit her perfectly.  JID and MSD clothes are usually not interchangeable, but the pants are stretchy, so that's what's making it work. The shirt, which 
was originally made for a JID boy, is a bit big, so I really should sew a new smaller one. 
Maybe a brand new shirt and vest in different colours.

I didn't think Isar really look that great in Aeran's Celtic costume, but she's only wearing it so she won't have to stand naked in the glass display case.

Next job is to switch Owen and Kyle.  Then decide which kids will go with each couple. Charie is in the process of painting four of my BIDs- two repaints (Elin & Efreet), and two brand new (Naias & Serca). So I'll decide after they come home.
