Sure! I bought the peach dress when I bought her and the blue one is meant for Ellowyne. It's loose in the back for Deja but I think it looks pretty from the front. I can't remember off the top of my head who made it. I feel bad about that because she is so nice and talented. I'm sure I'll remember shortly after I go to bed.

Both outfits are lovely! I've had my eye on the peachy one. Maybe if they have a good sale soon.

I read someplace that Deja Vu will fit into the dresses from the Franklin Mint's Titanic series (all discontinued of course). So, I bought one on ebay for a reasonable price and it arrived today. Here's Betty in her new threads:

And this is the back:
Image
The bust area is a bit tight, but there seems to be enough room to move the back hook over. I'll probably have to move the pink ribbon a bit too. The shoes are a fair fit too, just a little loose. One is looser than the other and keeps falling off every time I move her tho. There are some gorgeous dresses in the line, but some don't look very easy to adjust and most of them are just freakin' way too expensive. ($250? Oh, I don't think so! Just because they say Franklin Mint does not mean they are made of gold, people! Sheesh!)

I'm getting more and more tempted to take off her wig and try some new styles. I still want her as a redhead, but I think I'd like to find something that looks late 19-teens to early 1920's and go for some more Downton Abbey looks for her.

That is a gorgeous dress. I would be very curious to see how she looks re-wigged.

I acquired another of the Titanic/Rose doll's outfits. This is the underdress and it's not too bad a fit. Again, a bit tight in the bust.
Image
However, the overdress is way too small in the bust. I don't have it fastened in this shot. It's very heavily beaded and very stiff and I'm not sure I even like it.
Image
The shoes didn't fit at all. Since they are just plastic, I'm considering cutting them down a bit to see if I can get them on her. They are red plastic in a sort of bootie style with a tracery of black lined design. Not particularly attractive and I'm thinking some plain black slippers might look better. She has on some red Ellowyne booties in the pictures. I may just take the over dress apart and attach it to the underdress with some beading instead.

I've wondered about the Titanic outfits. I guess if they are too tight for Deja Vu they won't fit a Cami at all... I like your idea to attach the overdress to the underdress providing it doesn't make it difficult to get on the arms, of course. :mrgreen:

Just got another outfit for Betty today. It was on sale with free shipping...too good to pass up. I also tried her other dress on one of my Ellowynes, Joan. Betty can wear El's shoes, but couldn't get Joan's big feet into the matching blue shoes for this dress (width more than length was the problem). The 20's flapper-type dresses seem to be styled a bit loose in the chest otherwise it wouldn't have fit. It was a bit snug in the hips too.
Image
Betty looks like she is side-eyeing Joan and thinking "Bitch stole my look!" :D

Oh, and I got her the new hand set so she no longer has the permanent 'jazz hands' problem. She's holding a purse that doesn't match her outfit just to show off the hand.

She really does!

I love that peachy dress so much, I don't think I'm going to redress mine for a long time. Congrats on yours! Oh, and the hands you bought look great. :D
