Thanks Hippolyta - that means a lot to me coming from you
Thanks Dark Angel - I just love making her gowns that would be impractical in my life.

Another dress, this time made from a camisole and based on a DOA halter top tutorial.

This dress personifies many of my problems sewing for dolls. As a human seamstress I can say I'm really good and not be puffing myself up. But as a doll seamstress, not so much. The waistband is off in width by about 1/8". No big deal in 1:1 scale. It's noticeable in 1:3 though. Also the little seams, pleated fabric, satin and multiple layers at the waist just about did me in. On the up side, she really looks great in this color. It's one of the few dresses that looks better on her in photos that IRL.

Thanks! Astarte's colors seem to be pink, white, purple and pale green and of course flowers are a leitmotif, what with her habit of wandering dreamily around gardens
