She is a tough one to style. Dasia is much larger than Lammily. Lammily is closer in size to the curvy Barbie.

Burgundy is also a good color on her, but I prefer the sheath style dress for her figure. If I should ever return to making doll clothes, I'll have to remember to return here for insights on making fashions for my rounder dolls.<br /><br />I wonder if she and Dasia could wear the same clothes? The styles would be different because Dasia is older, but I am curious about the differences between these bodies. <br /><br />Aside: I like how Dwayne's eyes look as if he is in lurve ;-)D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-77627458491912125982016-07-26T23:59:24.232-04:002016-07-26T23:59:24.232-04:00Shasarignis - Merci!

It has received some interest, so I will list it and see what happens. I love hearing all the different opinions. Further solidifies how different fashion tastes can be. I like the Aline and flared fashions for her better than the straight ones, but I think it will be key to offer both.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-79096853898919912672016-07-24T13:07:56.982-04:002016-07-24T13:07:56.982-04:00I certainly admire the way you're making peace...I certainly admire the way you're making peace between Dasia and Chante. Dasia's been the queen bee and she sees Chante infringing on her territory as you divert your attention to making clothes for the new girl on the block. My favorite dress for Cynthia continues to be the red dress because 1) the dropped waist steers the eye away from her mid-section and for me, makes her shape more interesting and 2) though she's curvy around the hips and thighs, I feel the flared skirt makes everything appear less "bulky," more graceful. Yellow looks good on her but I personally don't feel this particular dress is doing much for her unless you plan to do a matching coat or jacket or maybe if cut in a print. Anyway, that's simply my 2 cents which you are not obliged to spend.april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-15311562581160589482016-07-24T04:52:32.852-04:002016-07-24T04:52:32.852-04:00DBG - I'm planning to try some brighter colors...DBG - I'm planning to try some brighter colors on her. The dropped waist is probably not the best for her long torso, but I do like the short version.

I actually agree with you about the burgundy dress. That was my first sample, and I planned to reduce the bulk on the real garment. Not only that, when I shortened it for the picture, I didn't cut the fabric off, it's just pinned underneath, which makes it even bulkier. The lace on the crop top was just to hide the boobs, so I could show the pants. At the time I didn't have another top. I realized when I was making the top (which ended up being the crop top) that I needed thinner fabric to pull off my original idea, which is probably similar to what you are envisioning.

The drop waist on the red dress is good, but (this is just my worthless $0.02) I think the bottom could flare out less. I think because she already has the bulk herself, the more fitted clothes are more flattering. The crop top looks good. I could also see it being flattering with a longer piece of sheer material at the bottom, in place of the lace. I can't wait to see the shoes you make. I want to learn to make a decent pair. But I have to stay within my skill range. :-)Jaye's Doll Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409132062845348610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-67458673453436336182016-07-21T10:49:37.610-04:002016-07-21T10:49:37.610-04:00adrian - Hi!
