Dress tweaking

They're too sexy for their clothing - but they have to wear them anyway! Did you buy it? Did you make it? Who cares - let'm strut their stuff here!

Dress tweaking

Postby kenaiqueen » Thu Apr 10, 2014 1:11 pm

I bought this beautiful dress set from Kirahfaye for my Ellowyne dolls in hopes it would fit.
Here it is on Lizette;

However, the straps were too tight, pulling it up on her bust a bit too much and I didn't think the pearls were quite the right scale. So I replaced the straps, changed out the bodice decoration and added more pearls to the top and around the flounce at the bottom. The stocking were too big too, so I tightened them up and made some gauntlets from the leftovers. I left the original size pearls on the purse for now. The waist area is a bit loose, but not too much so I'm going to live with it as it is.
Here's the final result:

I think it makes a lovely Easter outfit for her. The second dress I bought also needs some tweaking, but I'm in a time crunch for other projects so it will have to wait for now.
Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Wow, the pearl details are amazing! I didn't realize there were so many pearls from the full-body images--it looks really elegant.

Watch out for those gauntlets though--it doesn't look like you hemmed them at the top. I'm worried they won't last long without something to stop fraying.
