Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2012 6:00 pmI've been making some clothes specifically for Ginny (Resinsoul Dai). She has very narrow shoulders! Everything so far is white, because I've been using up a scrap of handkerchief linen I have and some scraps of white silk twill.
No. She is not selling ice cream. But you wouldn't know it to look at her.
The pants are Perfect Pattern #53 Asian jacket and pants. It is drafted for the Tyler doll, but if you blow it up 138% it is pretty good for Ginny.
I lengthened them about 3/4 of an inch from the original, but they still don't cover her knees when she's seated. Standing is fine.
The top I drafted myself. I goofed and stuck the band on the top on backwards, so it became an extension to the bodice instead of decoration.
I've drafted a version of the pants as cuffed shorts for a summer beach outfit, and the top will be repeated (with the band on rightside up). Both of the upcoming pieces will be lined.

This is Perfect Patterns #85, drafted for the 22" American Model. The skirt fits well, but the blouse is really too wide for her shoulders. I will set the blouse aside until I can try in on the Impldoll in September. Then decide who will get the blouse. I made this #85 up with no changes except I reduced the neck opening a little bit.
