Dolloween 2023

Postby Jobee » Thu Oct 05, 2023 11:50 am

It's October! Every year, I design spooky or fantasy themed costumes for my dolls, but every year, I run out of time and don't make them. I succeeded in making Halloween costumes for dolls once, many years ago, and I was very happy with them, but I haven't managed my October well enough to finish a costume since. This year, I'm gonna try to change that. I only have one doll on my mind, and she is getting a Dolloween costume!

Anyone else gonna do some Dolloween? Have some cute pics from Doll Halloween's past?

I have Halloween outfits for my 18" dolls but I never seem to get around to putting them on them. I was trying to decide if I wanted to put my Tonner girls in their dresses, as pictured, but I may be too lazy for that too. However, I have a pattern and some fabric out to make something for my Smarties. Fingers crossed I get my rear in gear.

I only have two dolls out to play with. I bought the OMG Fierce Cleopatra for her costume. Nanda will be Cleopatra for Halloween. Richila, my Mini-me, will be Wednesday Addams, maybe. Richila has glasses and locs. I don't use Flickr anymore and I'm not sure how to insert my pictures, so I put a link to my Instagram.

Progress Report: Over the weekend, I doodled many fun costume designs, and after careful consideration, finally settled on a classic witch for Snow's Halloween costume. I've also drafted a simple dress pattern to get started.

I cut out the witch dress today! I know it's super simple, but I haven't sewn in a while, baby steps and all that.

The costume is far from complete, but I realized she looks like Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service when I put her original bow on her head. So, if I don't get the rest of her costume done, she can at least be Kiki. It took a few tries, but I got my hands on some black felt, so I can finally work on her hat. Black felt is unsurprisingly in short supply during October.

I'd keep her as Kiki. Get some pipe cleaners and make her cat!
