New skirt for Nova

[Lamia of the Dark]

Nova strikes a sassy pose while modeling the new skirt I made for her. (Tank top is unknown brand, not-handmade.)

<.< It's made from a cheap pair of panties. I like the pattern and the mesh ruffle around the edge, and I thought it would make great doll dresses

That's cute and you just gave me an idea, thank you. JoAnn's here doesn't seem to have much and I've been trying to find more stretch fabric for making leggings and t-shirts. I never thought to look in the underwear bins. I've looked in the socks, the ladies tights, but I haven't really given the undies much attention. Undies generally do have nice small prints don't they? Hmmmm...

And a lot of times they're trimmed with lace around the edges, which is fun

Such a cute little dress~! I saw a little nightie in Wal Mart last night that I was tempted to repurpose into dollieh clothes, but for $20, I would rather just buy the fabric itself.

Check dollar stores too! Sometimes they have small racks of clothes. Family Dollar is a good one, but watch those pricetags. Every once in a while, they sneak an expensive item in there.

Oh to live in the USA! If for our dollieh's sake alone! You people are so lucky. Here I sit in South Africa *sob, sob* where they don't even have the faintest idea what a bjd doll is never mind catering for them..... I think your skirt is cute. It definitely does give one an idea...

The skirt is really cute. I like the black ruffle you added to it. Awesome idea on the panties. I will keep that in mind when I am in the stores.

I go to thrift stores and consignment shops and look at the clothing that isn't very expensive and have scored some awesome fabric. I have found the that kid sections tend to have smaller scale prints or stuff that works well for dolls, but I can sometimes find stuff that works in adult sizes too. Now I just need to work on my sewing skills. Heh.

I did not add the black ruffle, it was already attached >_<

Cheap panties are a great source of material that is already trimmed with lace and ruffles!

Very true! That's how I make my dolls' clothing too
