Halter Dress Sample

I found a simple halter dress pattern at
Janel Was Here .  She designed it for
the Model Muse body so I was comfortable
giving it a try.   I chose Taryn as my
model and made a sample of muslin.

Although I did read Janel's instructions
I didn't really follow them to the letter
(which I never do).  I think it came out
very nice.

There is a little side gap on the halter
here, but once I tugged the dress down
a bit it fit better.

There is a little bunching at her tush
but that is seamstress error.

It appears Taryn is a tad ticklish and
moved a bit when I was measuring where
to end the waistband......it ended up
being a little to snug.  It's an easy fix
and I need to make the halter straps just
a smidgen longer.

I love this dress!  I can't wait to make
some in different fabrics.  It will look
nice with a fuller skirt and in a variety
of lengths, too!

Swimsuit Babes

Since I do not have any patterns that will
fit the Model Muse body I am going to have
to force teach my self to draft patterns for them.
I am not a patient person and get frustrated
when I don't pick something up quickly. 
But if the ladies want some new clothes I
am going to have to learn to make them
some.

I figured I'd start really, really simple with sarongs.

The most fun part was matching the fabric to their
swimsuit color.  They are very simple.....a glorified
apron with a side dart for shape.  But I think the
ladies like them........          
              

Taryn

 Fiona

Georgene

Ellery

I am planning a simple halter sundress

for them next.  Picking the fabric based

on their swimsuit color was fun and

took a little of the stress off about what

color would look good on them.  With

all the fabric I have sometimes I get

bogged down in the planning process

but because each lady already has a

color it made it a little easier.....and they

don't have to change shoes!  So I am

going to stick with that color formula

for awhile.

Any ideas or suggestions on where to

find any patterns for these ladies is

greatly appreciated!

Fashion Insider Ken Gift Set

I have been trying to find what little fashions
there are for the Silkstone Ken so that Roger
Brentwood has a few changes of clothes.  I
have had my eye on this Ken Giftset but the
price was always to high........until one day
it wasn't!

This will be a nice suit for Roger.  I am
not sure if I will keep the doll.

I am not too crazy about his looks. I
think it's the shape of his head, fore-
head is too big or something.  I
still have Olivia Brentwood so I can
either hook them up together in a storyline
or give them the boot together.


We'll see.

Happy Independence Day

Have a safe and happy holiday!
