With the two Tobi outfits finished, I've decided to take a break from commissions and just make whatever I feel inspired to make. Iplehouse recently released their Xmas Special Editions, and in that group there was a very cute little BID with the most beautiful purple and black holiday dress. Inspired by that little dress, I took a look at some special holiday dresses for little girls and thought it would be so nice to make some to fit Kaye Wiggs MSD girls. I have two pieces of embroidered, sequined taffeta that I bought many years ago with the intent of using them for Rococo gowns. Well, those gowns never materialized, and there's no point saving things forever, so I thought those fabrics would be perfect for some special holiday dresses - combining the purple taffeta with purple velvet, and the red taffeta with black velvet. So, I've started. The dress will be worn over a black lace and tulle petticoat, with black tights. I'll decide on hair ornaments after the first dress is done.

This is really nice! I love how you sew, I even followed many of your tutorials too. I would *really* like to see those rococo gowns made by you. It is one of my favorite periods :3

I'd love to see Rococo gowns too! But my health issues have gotten so bad that sewing has slowed to a crawl, so right now I'm just going to tackle some simpler outfits. If things eventually improve, then I'll try some more of the elaborate costumes again.

I hope you will get better! I have been a fan of your work since the first time I saw it, and even the "simpler" outfits are stunning. I followed the Victorians Gowns too :D Comments are closed.
