My Twinn Cai's custom Hanfu outfit was a fun challenge, and I really liked the final result. I did several photoshoots of her wearing it, with a few classic Chinese hairstyles. [node:read-more:link]
Asian Cultural Clothing: Dressing my 18" Twinns Part II
Submitted by Little Raven on Fri, 2019-07-12 17:26
In Part I of Dressing my 18" Twinns, I talked about selecting Berkeley's and Kim's new cultural clothing, including hair accessories and hairstyles. I also considered which Asian cultures and clothing styles I would select for Cai and Pearl.
I knew that one of the cultural styles I wanted for the girls was the traditional Han style from the Tang dynasty of ancient China. [node:read-more:link]

Classic School Girl Dress
Submitted by Little Raven on Tue, 2017-03-14 00:25
The Classic School Girl pattern is out and up on Etsy! It took a couple extra days of work than I thought, and I had to make a last minute name change, as Vintage School Girl was too close to a few other 18 Inch pattern titles. But I'm good; classic works and it was one of my alternate working names. [node:read-more:link]
Classic School Girl
Submitted by Little Raven on Mon, 2017-03-06 08:24
So I've been diligently working on getting my Vintage School Girl pattern up on Etsy this week. I love this little dress, inspired by a school outfit I found in an old photo from the 1920s. But it's interesting that it also resembles classic one-piece school girl dresses from the 50s, 60s, and 70s and even 80s. [node:read-more:link]

With the Fant'sy thing done and out of the way, I was glad to have a day or two to take off and meanwhile clean up my desktop.

And she's done. No way, right?
Drafting the pattern listing on Etsy right now. :)
Fant'sy Pirate
Submitted by Little Raven on Tue, 2016-10-04 09:31
Here's the pirate version of the Fant'sy Frock dress--I'm pretty happy with it!
This dress is pretty awesome because it can easily change themes--with a few fabric and minor detail switches--from a witch, to a pirate, to a princess, to Steampunk look, etc. I plan on making a version of all of these to showcase the versatility of this design.

I have it where I want it, mostly. Or all really. I might adjust the sweetheart neckline, maybe, but overall I like where it has gone. I'm working on the pattern instruction booklet now, wondering if I'll be able to add the steampunk vest to the pack, but trying to get the pattern on my Etsy asap.
