| This was a test dress that I made, using a friend's prototype pattern. I wonder if anyone else has ever had a blog post entitled "testing a friend's dress pattern on former soldier doll." |
 |
| She really wanted a waist band to show off her figure. |
 |
| Then she insisted on puff sleeves, a fuller skirt and an eyelet ruffle. I wonder what she'll want next. |
 |
| I made this doll last year. Here is the former state of the doll: http://mcnallyschool.blogspot.com/2010/03/robert-louis-and-dudley.html. This was Dudley, the blond Civil War soldier. |
 |
| Now her name is Sarah. |
 |
| Georgia Constance was originally made in 2010 from Dixie's workshop pattern. Click here to see what she looked like before. |
 |
| Resting. |
 |
| She has a re-sculpted and re-painted head. |
 |
| Here is my latest re-done doll. I gave her new limbs, using Dixie's IW pattern. She also has a re-sculpted and re-painted head. |
 |
| I painted her skin, facial features and boots with acrylics. Then I painted hair with oils. |
 |
| The hardest part about making this doll was the ruffle on the dress!!! The doll was originally smaller and shorter, so the dress was too short for the re-done doll. I scrounged around to find some tiny pieces of the original fabric and worked FOREVER to make that silly ruffle along the hem, to lengthen the dress a bit. I hope that she's satisfied! |
 |
| My daughter named her Eleanor. |
