Cute Outfit♥ from the unlikeliest of places...

[Tasuke]

well, unlikeliest of places IMO, but i suppose one can never know from when and from where something might catch one's eye and inspiration might result.

anyway, -enough of the melodrama- i just sat through about 1/2-3/4 of the 1988 film "DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS"
(starring Steve Martin) before me and the family just couldn't take anymore. apologies to the movies' fans out there,
but me and my family just couldn't have agreed more in our opinion of this movies' occasionally amusing yet generally lousy nature.

that said, there was one little redeeming feature, -at least for myself- this rather pretty, adorable and fairly unusual outfit an incidental woman is wearing, that the camera catches several annoyingly fleeting marginal scenes of in the casino segment about 3/4 in;








- those are indeed fantastically lousy examples, but it's the best i could manage for screencaps without a DVD or BRD copy of the film on hand. further, with this damned films' insistence on keeping this woman almost entirely in the background like a random extra, and yet somehow simultaneously featuring her prominently in it's own perverse sort of way, it gives me frustratingly precious little to work with.

all the same, those cummy-ass caps up there should prove enough to roughly illustrate what i was attempting to loosely model off of in this;






- it's definitely a wee bit baggier than it's inspiration, but i kind of don't mind it that way, to be honest.
the peach tone is very pleasing IMO, but it's hardly by design. it was merely the only fabric i happened to have on hand
that matched the look and feel of what the outfit ( Jumper? ) on screen appeared to me to have been crafted from.

i just might yet make an alteration or two, -to bring it closer to model- but i'm generally happy with how it turned out,
and it does give my 27cm. OBITSU-based "Li Kohran" (Sakura Wars) -which has been something of a neglected fifth-wheel in my Anime doll collection- something cute, pretty and comfy to romp about in...

Ah, the fashions of 1988, huh? I've never seen the movie in question but the jumper is pretty neat! The peach color complements the darker hair of your doll, similar to the way the silver outfit suits the blonde-haired lady in the movie. Perhaps the original is silk or something similar?

That's a 1980s "jumpsuit," of the "formal" variety. Try doing some Google image searching for more of the same!

Here's a rather nice on:
