I got a doll in a kitty dress today, but it's just a kitty print fabric on the dress.

Got a shipment in from Alice's today and thought I'd post them even tho I will be messing with the skirt. I think it's too long and I want to put some elastic in the back waist area to make it fit better.

The sweater will get tucked away til winter probably and I will need to adjust the straps on her new Kitty Maryjanes. I wish I could have gotten the white ones, but these are cute.

Thought I'd do a rundown on these two outfits.
Monday is wearing a hoodie from Alice's; a tee that I cut off, also from Alice's; jeans made (badly) by me; ebay shoes I originally bought for my Iplehouse Rex that didn't fit; and underneath, a stain prevention pair of tights from ebay that I cut apart into separates, leggings and socks.
Ena has on a pink bunny ear ruffled hoodie from Alice's; same tee from Alice's, uncut; trousers made by Dollmore for my Ha-Yarn Cho; more oversize ebay sneakers; and frilly socks from Alice's you can't see.

Can you toss me the link for Alice? I thought I had it, but I can't find it.

Sure. Here: http://www.acbjd.com/
I have a bunch of stuff in my cart but waiting for my Social Security check. Still selling more stuff locally to make up for it.

Thanks, I definitely didn't have it in my Doll folder.

Locally, we haven't had a group meeting in years. So sad, but several of us moved further out from center and then the pandemic didn't help. It's a shame because we all probably have a bunch of doll stuff to sell/swap. Well, I do, at least.

I've changed the title of this so I can keep posing pics of my 2 current SmD's in their outfits. I got my latest order from Alice's which took an anxious 2 months to arrive. Seems like it's taking longer and longer for orders to get here. Anyway, I ordered 2 tanks, a belt and a pair of white lace up Lolita boots for my girls. The boots are meh, so I will probably end up selling them. Here is a pic of Penny in the tank and belt (plus the jeans I made). The belt is really, really nice. I'm tempted to order more colors but I'm afraid they won't get here til Christmas at this rate LOL! The tank tops are a bit loose and a bit long. I plan to do a bit of altering, but I'm not sure how to tackle it just yet. Am pinching and pinning and then doing it all over a different way trying to find the best way to do it.

The jeans are nice! The fit looks as good as some of the official Mirai Store fashions!

I suppose an alternative to altering the tank top would be to invest in a larger bust for your girl!

KQ is a very talented seamstress - I know because she made an outfit for my Kaye Wiggs mini.

I was planning on buying a SM for my birthday present to myself, but my desktop has become too unstable to trust and I ended up getting a new laptop instead.... I'm so jelly.....

Thanks...I made the jeans a bit loose so I could put on some stain prevention underneath. The need some work on the fly area but they came out pretty good. Have booty shorts on my list of things I'd like to make for my girls.

I have thought about the larger busts, but in reality, I'm not a bewb fan. I went from a modest A cup to a DD after having a baby (hears the Gone with the Wind line about 'you done had a baby...' altho that referred to waistline) and I really hate these horrible, droopy things. I'd love to have my fried eggs size back. Sigh. I tend to be attracted to dolls with smaller busts, more of a teen look to them.

Anyway, thanks for compliment, Kirahfaye. I can sew and in particular, I'm pretty good at fitting. I have narrow shoulders and I'm a petite in height, so I often have to take in tops and take up hems. My mom was a seamstress so I learned by watching. I confess, I got into sewing for my dolls because I got old and fat and don't look as good in things as I used to.
