Dollstown Mini discussion part 3

Hannah and her new dress are just gorgeous!

[Teddy]

I wanted to share my newest creation. It is a replica of a 1912 Ladies princess slip. I am part of the 1912 project.

That's very impressive. I doubt I'd have the patience to do all the insertion lace, let alone all the pleats... Your Elf girl is really very lucky.

Another Hannah popping in to say hello I've been trying to make this wig work for someone for months, and today I think Miss M almost has it with a very Helena Bonham Carter-esque look

[Jane]

Alma I think the wig is working really well

And is your Hannah still called Miette?

[almaxaquotal]

Actually I renamed her Mariah, and her little sister is going to be Miette I always felt a bit like the name was too cutesy for her, she needed something a little more mature!

A little pic of the girls together with the lollipops I made yesterday... Eloise seems to have them both though, no surprises, she is so spoiled! I realised I hardly ever photograph these two together - this needs to change

[theresa 226]

So nice to see activity here. New Pics Yay!

Your Hannah looks so cool with her jet black hair and funky boots, and they are great together, such nice contrast.

Although I don't knit (but would love to), I have wanted knitted dresses for my two 7y girls.
A co-worker does knit, and she is making dresses for them from a lovely pattern from Soudane on Etsy.

Eliana got hers first, and she loves the hearts. So do I.

[skyeyze]

Love your beautiful dollies Almaxaquotal and theresa!

Thank you I had a feeling that you had renamed her

Oh Theresa I love this knitted dress
How clever (and kind) of your co-worker to do this for you, Eliana looks fabulous in her new outfit
I love to see my dolls in knitted items too.
And I really do like that new outfit for Emilia too........I am sorry but I forget, is she on the DT elf body?

[theresa 226]

Emilia is on the elf body, jane. Eliana and Darla are on the 7yr. Darla is waiting for her dress now.

Thank you both for the nice comments.

[Jane]

Emilia is on the elf body, jane. Eliana and Darla are on the 7yr.

I thought she was

How are you finding photographing Darla? I still find the paletan really difficult to 'capture' on indoor photos...

[theresa 226]

jane, I find getting the true color photographing all three of my girls challenging, but Darla's coloring seems to be the hardest to work with. I love her beautiful caramel color, but she turns out 'orangey' in photos, and trying to correct her color tends to make her look a little 'dull'. Sometimes I just get lucky and come close to her actual color. I guess we will just have to keep playing.

One thing I do find is that I love photographing the elf body; the less clothing the better. That body is so beautiful and graceful, looks perfect without clothing.

I agree with you on both counts!
I never do capture the real resin colour of the paletan in indoor photos


I just adore that elfbody so much too.....it is beautiful!!!!
And best seen, not covered up!

I would love to get another in freshskin one day, but until I decide what head sculpt I would like with it, that is just on the dream shelf

[theresa 226]

Both Emilia and Eliana are oriental skin, jane, but I would love another DT one day also, and would consider another skin color.
Is your Bindi freshskin? She alwaya seems to photograph beautifully.

[Jane]

Ah my Sorrel (Soph B on the DT elf) is in oriental skin......I like that colour it is easy to photograph....

And Bindi is the old DT pinky-white resin, which is suppoesd to be like the new freshskin but in actual fact is an entirely different colour altogether.

[opal]

Wow, such fun to come in and find pics of beautiful girls! Alma, your girls are lovely and each has such a distinctive style. Theresa, love Eliana's little knit dress and Emilia's new dress is so cute too, both girls are very pretty. And Jane, Sorrel is always such a beauty.

[theresa 226]

Thank you for the gorgeous photo of Sorrell, jane. She is beautiful.

Thanks opal! Glad you like.

[skyeyze]

Ooooooh, I love your Sorrel Jane!

[solymar]

Theresa 226
I like your new dresses, you've made the great job!

[Xiaoli]

Ok I'd like really honest opinions regarding my new ganga's face up. Does it look too old? Is it too dark on the freshskin? I did it over the weekend but am debating taking it all off and starting again. Thanks!

I love the natural looking eybrows but the lips look like she's wearing lipstick - they're too glossy and a bit too deep a shade to look natural.
