Dominique and Adele's Wardrobe is Growing

After the wedding video, I attempted to take a little break.  That was torture.  I gave it a couple of hours, then decided to get back to work.  I worked on some furniture pieces.  All of which are spoken for already. Then I worked on a few FR fashions.

I started with a skirt for Dominique.  I did not make the top, although I have plans to make her one for the final ensemble.

The fabric is actually navy and white.  Dominique will more than likely end up with a wardrobe close to what my wardrobe is/was.  Of course, I think she will wear it better than I ever could.

I made her some palozzo pants, too.  My favorite style to wear.  I still have to make her suit jacket and blouse.


I made Adele a casual outfit right after I made her green and white dress. 

I made all three pieces here.  I think this is a nice 'running errands' outfit.  It's made of jersey knit, so it's nice and comfortable.

I will swap out the shirt,  because I think it's a little too bulky for this outfit.  The shirt started as a dress, but it wasn't sexy enough for her dinner date with Michael, so I cut it off and made a shirt. 

I don't know why they aren't smiling yet.  "What?  You need designer handbags now?  Have you seen what they are charging for designer handbags these days?  We have plenty of handbags that will look just fine with your new outfits."

    1. The Duke of Swann - Thanks. Now you have me thinking. I may have to research what the Royals wear. My dolls already act like queens and princesses. I'm sure they would love a wardrobe to match.

  5. Hello from Spain: Dominique skirt is very elegant. I also like those pants. Pants are very trendy. The whole casual Adele is also very nice. I see that you are always working on elements of Barbies. It seems that your days instead of 24 hours are 48! You do so many things ... You have to tell me the secret ... Keep in touch.

    1. Marta - Thanks! I am planning a really nice wardrobe for these girls. Trust me, you don't want to feel the need to work non-stop. Although, I get lots done. So maybe it's not that bad.

  9. Love the outfits but just watch it. After the bags, they'll want hats, scarves, jewellery.... Haven't you noticed that dolls are really demanding?

    1. Carrickters - I have noticed they are demanding. They have jewelry. They just aren't allowed to wear it. It makes shooting videos very difficult. Funny you should mention hats, because I was thinking about Domminique some hats. I think she will be my hat girl.

    2. Hard though it must be for them, I thought it was funny that you don't allow them to wear jewelry because it would mess up the videos. I can just *see* the rolled eyes.

  10. I love Dominique's outfit, wouldn't mind having that for myself. Your ladies have become quite the fashionista's. I guess they figured you owed them after their participation in the wedding. lol

    1. Sonya - Thanks! I would definitely have her outfit, too. I've gotten into hats lately and I think Dominique will be sporting some hats soon. I did owe them. I couldn't have pulled off that wedding without their help.

    2. Maud Mavis is eager to see the hats. That is her Achilles' heel: hats.

    1. Debbie - Thanks! It's mostly just an insane desire I've had over my lifetime to learn everything I could. There isn't much I haven't attempted to do at least once.

  12. D7ana - There is nothing worse than spending hours shooting a video, only to find that the necklace it totally messed up. They have seen the 2 boxes full of unused dolls. They don't want to end up there, so they are very cooperative when it comes to the 'no jewelry during taping' rule.

  13. They aren't smiling because they each thought they look the best until the other got in the photo ;-)I like Dominique's pants too but I really love that skirt.

  14. Love the pants and top, they are perfect!! I have to start making some pieces for my Vanessa, my Barbie's clothes don't fit her...
