I am so happy with the way this little girl is turning out that I had to share a quick progress update photo. I want to varnish her hair yet (the flat matte paint doesn't look quite right) and take up a few tucks in her skirt so her lavishly embroidered bloomers show up a little better. I have had so much fun creating her costume out of some vintage embroidered pieces. It was a challenge to find usable pieces that avoided holes and stains from some of them. If you look very closely at the bottom of her sleeve on the right you will see a rather large grease stain. Someone did something really nasty to what had been a beautiful table square...
Oop, I just noticed that I haven't finished her shoes yet either. She will also have a blue ribbon sash around her waist, but I don't have what I want in my stash so will have to make a shopping trip.

She could EASILY pass as a very well-kept antique doll! Judi, you are amazing. Everything about your style of dollmaking is elegant, concise, & beautiful! You pay such attention to detail and that makes your finished dolls VERY special! I LOVE her!
She is so beautiful. You have done a great job of the doll as well as used the beautiful fabric so cleverly for her dress.
