>? Portrait Sisters ? Costuming – PART 1

>Stephanie & Jocelyn Get Their Pretty Underthings.

Finally the poor gals have gotten their underthings.  I feel it is so important to make sure the dolls are properly attired from the bottom up so to speak.  Attention to every detail is of utmost importance.  I remember when I would do doll shows and the first thing people would do was turn the dolls upside down and look under their clothing.

Here is a photo of the underclothing that Stephanie & Jocelyn we costumed in.  They each have embroidered cotton undershirts with rows of vintage cotton lace ruffles. 

This way when someone looks under their little dresses they will see lovely cotton ruffles.  So nice & girly!

>Stephanie & Jocelyn Need Clothes!

>Hey all,
Sorry for the delay.  I had to get more orders out.  Still shipping some as I type this. 

It is now time for Stephanie & Jocelyn to be costumed.  Each girl will be dressed in matching tiny blue & white pinstripe  sailor dresses with white & red trim.  They will also have white knee socks & leather Mary Jane type shoes.

I was lucky to find a very fine cotton pinstripe that will be perfect for their tiny dresses:

That’s little Stephanie hiding under the fabric ?

Next they will be getting their undergarments!

>? Portrait Sisters ? Jocelyn & Stephanie get hair – Part 2

>

Here’s the girls all wigged! They are really starting to come to life now!
Here you can see how Jocelyn’s hair progressed.  Stephanie’s hair was finished the same way.  Their hair still needs a good final styling and clean up, but that won’t be done until the very end after they are dressed.  Notice the tiny fringe hairs around the hair line.  They help to add realism to the dolls.  They will also be refined at the end.

One last look at Stephanie’s cute little face!
