A couple of months ago, I ordered two tiny ball-jointed dolls from Latidoll, and they finally arrived! These tiny girls are sisters who haven’t yet been named. If you have any ideas for names, please share.
After a week of visiting my parents, I was able to spend some time this week working on a new dress pattern and the corset pattern I created for the Selfish Queen doll in my prior post. I found some lovely grayish black cotton and designed the dress to be strapless with a drop waistline. Then using varieties of lace, I layered the dress a bit with a peplum (overskirt) and a faux leather corset. I also created arm warmers that are trimmed in black lace and are topped with little puffs of fabric.
What I particularly like about the corset is that it doesn’t need to be laced each time it is put on the doll. It is permanently tied in the front. It is sometimes such a fuss to tie ribbon and get it to look just right. Instead of having to tie the ribbon each time the corset is worn, hook and loop tape closes the corset at the back.
The Selfish Queen stock outfit has been re-created as a custom order to be reserved on Etsy. The corset is my favorite part! My mind is already reeling with ideas for future uses of the corset pattern from wench and Goth dresses to fairy and romantic dresses.
