Rajendora (Sewing Box Designs, on the sidebar to the left) made this perfect outfit for Laurel. Laurel is currently on an SID body, which meant that I had to put a spacer under her chin and hold her head on with a Soom resin"banana," all in the interest of having a lighter-weight body with no magnet feet. And the outfit is SO CUTE. It also snaps in front and is so easy to get on, and the beads just are the cherry on top. Laurel just needs some matching blue boots to go with it.

I will have to paint Chl...

Atomic Space Kitty is a brilliant customizer of dolls, who lives in the Pacific Northwest. She has a fabulous dollie blog and I just happened to stumble over this photo of her Fairyland Chloe in a Rococo gown. It's a series of photos; part 3 is Not Quite Safe For Work, but keep going and you can also see her photo setup-- which made me realize how much better mine could be. Here is her blog: Rococo Nights part One
