Kipling is all set for the day

Taking advantage of a spare hour this morning, here's Kipling trying on some clothes:

She's wearing a hat I knit her some time ago from Wovenflame's Pukifee patterns.

The top is a "Lori" top.

It appears her wardrobe is sadly lacking in skirts, so since I was not feeling ambitious enough to sew her one, I altered a Pukifee skirt to fit.  The difference in waist-size is significant enough that an unaltered elastic waist won't fit.  I tried on a littlefee skirt too, but it was just too much fabric!

The stockings are a pair of Blythe stockings left over from when I had my Blythe doll years ago.  I had to cut off the feet, but otherwise they fit okay!

The shoes are also from that long ago Blythe doll, and they just barely fit Kipling (without the laces)

I think she has her own very unique sense of style... LOL

  1. I LOVE her style! It's perfect for her, she is obviously settling in well with her new body, and she looks just great!

  2. Oh I absolutely adore her styling here. The colours are just really wonderful and those socks and shoes are adorable on her. I love rainbow coloured anything really!

    Still in awe of your knitting skills! People who knit make such fine delicate things for their dolls. Wish I could get my head around how to do it! But am still struggling with a lot of the techniques and terms.

    1. Kipling is fun, because she looks good in just about any colours! :)

      I learned to knit from books when I was a kid. I could make squares, rectangles, and eventually triangles. All of which were completely crooked and odd looking.... LOL My current level of more-success-than-failures is just the result of a lot of practice. ;)
