How tight is your lacing?
So, I've gotten a bit further with my clothing project :3
This is going to be pretty huge, since I want to eventually make medieval/Tudor inspired outfits for all my dolls, plus other historical outfits... but this one is a start. Since Padma is my favourite torture victim doll at the moment, I'm making her a Tudor inspired dress. Which has layers. Layer upon layer... this is only the beginning!
boobs! :P
I painted a freckle inside her ear, hehe!
As you can see, the sleeves of the smock still need a bit of work, but the corset is perfect! I boned it using cable ties :3 and then I hand-sewed the eyelets at the back. Most of this is going to be hand-sawn, but that's okay, because its easier on a small scale.
Next I need to make her a petticoat, the kirtle (which is the main dress) the gown (the overdress) and possibly a Spanish farthingale (the skirt with hoops in, which gives the dress a bell shape). Think pink people :) I might even have a go at making a pair of pink silk shoes as well...
When I finish this, I'm going to make a fur lined cloak for Orris ^^
