Today was my first real day off in a while, so I settled down with my sewing stuff and my best girl and made a pretty new outfit! I got a little ambitious this time and made the corset skirt with a rose pattern insert. I think it works very well, don't you? With her two-tone pink wig and shoes, this is her new favorite ensemble (if I could just keep the shoes from falling off of her feet--maybe some clear rubber bands would help).

Image

Full length view of the dress itself. I made everything she's wearing except for the shoes and the wig (and I hand-dyed the wig myself--it already had the darker pink, but it was mostly platinum blonde before).

Image

A close-up so you can see her new lace collar. And, of course, her pretty violet eyes.

A little dark, but still a cute pic of Cherry sitting on our Edison ball lamp. This was right before she dropped her shoe behind the cabinet and I had to go spelunking after it. 9.9

The dress is lovely, and I love how you dyed the wig. She looks great in the entire ensemble.

Every time you show Cherry I keep thinking I really want to get a Moxie Teen. Then I remember why I stopped doing 11 1/2" size dolls. Old eyes are old ::sadface::

Thank you so much for all the lovely feedback! I'm personally not all that fond of pink, but Cherry looks gorgeous in this ensemble and it couldn't fit together better if I'd actually planned it.

@ViVI: Moxie Teenz are actually 14" tall, or about 1/5 scale, but I put Cherry's head on a Liv body. I've contemplated switching her back to her "factory" body, but then she'd be out of scale to Johnny and she wouldn't like that. :B I've also contemplated putting her on a Fashionista body, but what would I do with my carefully-accumulated Liv shoes then? XD Of course, the ultimate perfect solution would be to find a marrone Obitsu body for her, but I'm afraid her head would look grossly out of scale with it.
