I have made a couple of smart dresses for Leya my Dream of Doll MSD sized doll.

They turned out looking like something an office worker or secretary would wear.

Cezch Crystal

Black and White Dress

The necklace and bracelet are made from some Cezch Crystal Beads which I bought on a recent visit there.

Mohair Bolero

The bolero I knitted from very fine grey mohair.  Oh my aching eyes the stiches were so tiny!

Tight Fit

I wanted them to be tight fitting so I put a zip in the back. A tricky job when the top of the dress is white and the bottom black and I had to change cottons half way through sewing.

Both dress are the same except the lace down the front is different and the colour of the beads are also different.





Lace BJD Dresses

I Love Lace!

Been busy working on some new dresses. As I love working with lace I thought I would give all the girls new dresses.

They all have crocheted lacy tops made from a nice silky cotton with a picot edge. Then the skirts were made from various pieces of lace and pleated voile materials.

They were great to make separately but when I put them all together for a group photograph I was pleased with the results.

First a dress for Elin an Iplehouse BID Doll

Then a similar one for Hana my Blue Fairy Doll 

Then finally a more sophisticated version for older "Sis" Dream of Doll Leya

So no one left out no one feeling jealous......... well perhaps just one......ME!

                                                             

New BJD Dresses

New BJD Dresses

I have been busy putting together some new looks for my Dream of Doll girl Leya.

A light frothy number made of voile and with a shawl made from a piece of antique lace material and vintage lace edging.

 

A couple of quaint dresses and half bonnets made from "tea dyed" cotton with matching dyed lace.

BJD Fantasy Costume

Fancy New Costume for Leya Dream of Doll BJD

I started out with a piece of material that looked like it would make a nice puff sleeve and then everything just followed on from there.

First I made an under dress and knickers.  Which could also double up as a dress or sleepwear.  I decided to "tea dye" the fabric to give it a slightly vintage look and because I love the colour you can get from this method.

Then I started to make the jacket out of some square patterned cotton. I  even remembered to match up the pattern in the front! Then added a peplum and a bow to accentuate the back. I edged it all around with some already cream vintage lace which I used to lace the front up with some cording.

The original light red wig looked good with the little dress but the rest of the outfit needed something with a bit more funkyness so I put on her wild and woolly mohair wig just to jazz things up.

And rounded the whole outfit out with a crazy top hat and some zany purple stockings. What more could a girl/doll want?

Nuff said off for a rest.

Byyyeeee....
