Here’s Lady Paradise modelling the underskirt. I’m not sure it ended up exactly the right shape. It’s made out of a million strips of ribbon. Kind of crazy. I think a pattern and some fabric might have been a better way to go. Their sewing instructions aren’t that clear and I ran out of ribbon before I got all the bows made. I don’t think I wasted any either but I came up about 20″ short which is a lot of ribbon.

This is my hand modelling the skirt after the beaded loops were sewn on. You’d be amazed at how long this step took. I thought it would be about an hour but it was probably more like four or five. Plus the loops are all tangled together. Once I’ve got the doll fully dressed and on the stand, I’m going to have a lot of sequins to flip and loops to arrange.

Nearly done. You see the bow on her shoulder? Well, there isn’t one on the other shoulder yet. There are also bows that go on the back and more beaded loops for the bodice and sleeves. Then there’s the hair to worry about. I guess I can’t just keep the scrunchy on. It’s starting to seem like crocheting the dress was the easy part.
