So, awhile back I made a new kilt and cloak for Jude, thinking I might prefer a blue variation....
But I decided it didn't work on him after all. And because I hate waste, I decided to use the blue version for Jude's lady friend. The kilt was too long, and I didn't feel like cutting off the ragged bottom, so I cut the waistband off and sewed on a new smaller one. Grace seemed rather taken with Jude, so I decided to make my signature 'Celtic Maiden' outfit for her. It would be the fourteenth version I've made.
I also had in mind to finally address a story I'd started almost ten years ago. Most of the photos had been shot on a trip that year, but the beginning and end were never photographed. So my Aeran, who was the main character, would need a beautiful new gown for her coronation near the end. So I had two dolls that basically needed the other's costume. But they were different sizes, and Aeran's Celtic outfit is her default costume. So Grace needed her own.
I always like to start with the undertakings first....

Then I cut out and embroidered Grace's tunic....
Sewed it together, and beaded the edges...
Twins...
Grace would be getting chainmail sleeves too, but it hadn't arrived yet from China, so I just proceeded with her costume.....
Her outfit is all done, except for the chainmail....
