I’ve been wanting to do a Mori girl outfit for a while but didn’t have a character who would wear that style. But then I modded a minifee Dina’s eyes and she was perfect for a character I had in mind! I wish I had thought to take photos of the eye mod but oh well This journal will just be for the clothes To start, here are the sketches of the outfits. I drew one for each season. I already have the shoes and tights that I mostly got from Etsy. But the main pieces of the outfit need to be sewn and knit! I’m excited to make new patterns for this project (Btw originally she was going to be a different sculpt that had elf ears. So that’s why all the sketches have pointed ears. Maybe one day I will mod the Dina sculpt’s ears, but for now they remain human.) This is the outfit I drew first. At first I wasn’t planning on doing more, it was just her main outfit. Now I consider it her winter look.
This is her Spring outfit. For this one I’m going to sew a contrasting yoke and add lots of lace on the blouse. For Summer she will have a pretty sundress with embroidery on the bodice. Plus a lace shawl to cover her shoulders. And for Autumn I want to be ambitious and knit her a sweater set!
Thanks! I get lazy with the hands and feet/shoes hence the mitten hands lol I think I’ll start with winter since I have the fabric. Just not sure exactly when haha Hopefully this upcoming weekend I’ll find some time!
Thank you for the love! I hope to finish them over time at least by the season she is meant to wear them in I love the summer one too! It’ll be ambitious for me cuz of all the embroidery planned, and I’m a newbie to that craft.
Some progress has been made on the first outfit! I sewed the bodice today from two floral fabrics. I’m not really happy with the sleeves cuz they are sitting funny. But oh well. The cardigan will cover the, anyways. I used a pattern from Etsy to make this. It’s called Meido for slim 1/4 dolls by RadDollClothes. Later I will modify the top into an empire waist which should be really simple. Just pin the gathered skirt higher up the bodice. I’ll be adding a longer ruffle layer to the bottom to keep the dress long too.
Just kidding I changed the bodice entirely I looked back on my drawing and realized the focal is really the scarf and cardigan. The collar would add too much bulk. So I modified a different Etsy pattern by Jauneyero. (It’s the Rachel top.) I used the top as a bodice for the dress. Then used the skirt pattern piece from the Meido dress pattern. And the ruffle was just 3” by the entire width on the fabric lol I styled her in the dress to get an idea of what the outfit will look like Next I need to work out a pattern for the cardigan! Lots of trial and error are to come But I’m excited for the challenge!
Thank you! The fabric is meant for a dress for me haha I just stole a bit for her I have plenty though! Makes me more excited to sew a version for me!
That fabric is so cute, will you make a matching dress for yourself out of it too? Matching with the dolls is so much fun The outfit's already looking great! What kind of fabric are you planning for the cardigan, or are you going to knit it?
I will be making a dress with the same fabric, but a different style! It’ll have a button front and Peter Pan collar. And yep! I’m going to work on a knitting pattern for the sweater. I just have to work on some people sized knitted gifts first lol But I might sneak in some dolly knitting here and there
