Her name is Mari, and she is 8 1/4 inches tall. She is quality vinyl with a beautifully painted face and lovely body shape. Mari had been borrowing outfits from my Kish dolls, but now I've made her her very own undies! Here is the pattern, for camisole, long pantaloons, and shorter undies:
Heartstring Undies
The camisole top would make a wonderful bodice for a dress, with either a crochet or fabric skirt (my next project!), and the camisole could be attached to the pantaloons to make a romper type outfit. The pantaloons could be lengthened for pants, shortened for capris; there really is a lot you can do with this simple pattern and your imagination.
Jo has just announced her 2013 dolls, which are just outstanding. I am seriously challenged to not buy them all!
Have a lovely day, and as always, enjoy the crochet :-)
Wow those undies are so beautifully delicate! Really love them!

Beth, I love Dianna Effner dolls too! I have a Goldilocks and a Little Red Riding Hood by Diana. Your doll is especially precious. I really like the underwear you made for her. What a nice job.

Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteWould you believe this is the adorable little girl I was leaving a comment on when our power was cut off last week. I don't know when I saw a prettier face on a doll. There is just something about her sweet expression that drew me in. And what a lucky little lady she is to have a 'Mom' to make her such gorgeous clothing. No wonder she looks so satisfied with life.

Dear Eli, so good to hear your power is back on. It is NO FUN to be so cut off, without power, heat, and the internet!
DeleteThis little dolls really calls to me as well, and it is all about her sweet face. For a collectible doll, she is quite affordable, and playable :-)
WOW! Your art is very very very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much :-)
