I think........Elodie might be able to get a similar sized friend who poses well and doesn't cost a lot! Well, I still have to save up but maybe not too much. The doll in question in Hujoo Dara! only $120 and made of ABS....sounds like a good deal to me! I hope JS gets her.

Ordinarly dolly-based sewing skills are really paying off for me this weekend. For $25 I picked up a long, dark grey 100% wool coat, a long, dark tealy-green trench coat with a button-in lining, a 100% wool grey sport coat, and a fur cape. Yes, a fur cape. It says 'Schumacher Fur Co. Portland Oregon' on the inside. I freaking LOVE my church fleamarket.

Some people point at the show Castle and say there's no way Detective Beckett could have so many different coats. I say those people obviously aren't doing it right. XD

The sport coat has 80s shoulder pads, but I'm going to rip into the shoulder lining seams, either alter or change out the pads and that'll work fine. The trench I wasn't sure about but it was so cheap I couldn't resist. Once I ripped into the lining to alter the shoulder pads, and moved the epaulets up a couple inches, the whole coat seems to fit better! I just finished moving the epaulets, just need to sew the smaller shoulder pads back in (I cut down the ones that were already in there, they were HUGE, came all the way down to the top of my bicep and the epaulets were down there too).

It's especially great because I'm betting everything I bought was donated by the same person. I've never found a coat with sleeves that hit me right at the wrist off the rack, they all come halfway down my hand or more. I'm guessing these may have been tailored...probably all by the same person who was my size. Gonna have the coats drycleaned once I'm finished altering the shoulders (fortunately the grey doesn't need anything), and as I work in a department store, the next time there's a restyling event in furs I may ask about bringing in the cape for them to look at. See if they can tell me what sort of fur it is, maybe an approximate age, have it cleaned. Everything's in such nice shape, too.

Firstly...this is the 1000th post on this thread! Yay! *shot*

Okay, the actual thing- I know which wig Elodie's going to get! (she already has one but it's not "her" and the stray hairs were driving me nuts)

Detective Beckett is in New York City. There are some fabulous thrift stores there. I'm betting since she comes from a cop family (NOT rolling in money and the cops know where all the deals are) she knows all about those thrift shops too.

So.. Wren kind of got put on the back burner until my BBB MSD body sells, because one of my dream doll just showed on the DoA MP, and because I sold my Yo I actually had the money to get her outright! (No layaway for once) It's Nia in the correct color and as a full doll is finally coming home! I'm not sure how Evie will take the news but I'm sure she will probably enjoy having a friend who isn't half her height. In other news vacation finally got better.
