While fussing with Fauve recently, I realized from her head marking that the sculpt itself reaches vintage this year. I'm not exactly a DD expert, but some reading told me that this is in fact the 20th anniversary year of the initial release of Dollfie Dream, and that the Candy sculpt was one of the first two models that were on the DD1, strung with elastic. What an honor to have such a friend in the house! And also it gave me an idea, to make her an outfit fit for an early 2000s shojo character. I hope you will enjoy her look.

Thank you @Lillith I think it's the beginning of a great new direction for my character's visual style
She is so cute and I love her kind expression. I’m loving the colors of her outfit and her cute little hat
Thank you @Jareth I am very big on the kind eyed dolls. I was very proud of that hat! Somehow it came out exactly how I hoped even though I was making it on impulse as a first draft and truly planning to fail and abandon the idea never to return to it, but instead red soft hat was born! I am planning to make her a big ugly purse to match it actually.
As always, I love how you style your dolls. I absolutely can see her doing the cute jump and flashing that sweet smile in the intro of an anime. And I mean, that face, it's classic! Looks like that are what drew me into the hobby years ago.
Thank you so much @acidquill that makes me really happy! In the end it's nice for me to reflect on that -- remembering all the things that I was enamored with or were in my life way back that brought me into the hobby as well
Thank you so much @Rabbit-moon I don't think my actual girl is that old (her head) but she's old enough it's still a weird bit of perspective for me to look back and realize how far back it is weird but cool!
Your Candy is incredible! I totally love what you did with her. She looks so sweet, from her sculpt to her early 00s shoujo look. From when the 90s weren't quite over yet! So colorful and pretty. The garden's looking as lovely as ever. It complements this pretty lady perfectly. Thanks for sharing these photos. They really bring to life again some good old times
Thank you @Gamma Ray the anime back then was so fun and wacky. There are a lot of series I still hope to someday watch I hope to keep making her more outfits in this style! I have some new flowers blooming in the garden too which is very exciting. Hope you have a great weekend!
