Jove, that floral bodice is lovely, and her usual outfit reminds me of fiber optic fabric.
Luna, your av has such a sweet face, the highly detailed dress is beautiful and all the colouring works well together.
I could spam this thread but will try to keep it to a few outfits each. :3
My OCs, three sisters who are embodied in 1:6 scale doll form, are also my main chars in Black Desert Online.Kira, the eldest, is a Valkyrie (like a special ops magical girl soldier), socialite, and model.
1. Testing dyes for a fashion show where her assigned theme was Divine Retribution.
2. Security for her guild, whose colours are silver and blue and symbol is a wolf.
3. Taken for a lighting test before a fashion show.
The middle sister is rather elusive.
The youngest, Tessa, is a frail sheltered prophetess who’s studying medicine and sews doll clothes. (Author insert much?)
1. Her favourite elevated casual outfit, which she made herself in the Witch Grunil style.
2. Navillera in colours inspired by Sanrio Little Twin Stars.
3. Arcanis Robe in the church’s colours for performing her official duty as a prophetess of Elionism.
And her in-game doll collection.
Nice to meet you, Alex. Congratulations on your graduation and good luck with your job search! Ahh, your Duel Queen Clawdeen is cute, I like the multi-layered skirt and what you did with the zippers!
I’m Kukolka, and my pronouns are she/her. As a child, I made some very poorly hand-sewn Barbie clothes without patterns, and “helped” my mom make some better clothes for larger dolls, using patterns, on her sewing machine. I’d classify my skill level as intermediate — but I’ll try Advanced patterns anyway; no fear! — a lot of trial and error, but some items come out decently. I’ve made a few costume pieces for myself and a friend, but most of my 1:1 sewing is just ‘petitifying’ bought clothes that don’t come in Petite.
Oof, my first custom piece, no idea, but the one that sticks in my memory is this pink cotton and mint lining dress for Barbie, with a split overskirt and way too large trim, and how the bodice opened at the back and the overskirt at the front so there wasn’t much holding them together? And a brown calico skirt and fitted jacket with a…gathered overskirt but only in front? LOL. Probably inspired by misunderstanding a full overskirt raised in front seen on a paper doll. x) Unfortunately I think I threw these out. Most of my “old-fashioned” pieces weren’t too stylized, so reusable among characters for stories across several eras. x)
In 2012 I got into customizing dolls, to make characters and outfits from the MMO where I met my husband. The first few attempts then did not come out as intended, but I persevered! In 2016 I accepted a commission, the buyer was happy with the result, but I learned the valuable lesson that I’m not ready to take on any more commissions until I retire!
My best outfit so far is probably the gown for the Fantasy Finish challenge at Figurvore. This page shows the separate pieces including a farthingale.
I’m also rather proud of the *commitment* it took to make six school uniforms, since once I make one of something I’m likely to get bored and move on to something new. I had much trouble getting the blouse right, until I discovered Requiem Art Designs patterns and the cheat code to making tiny collars (fabric glue).
More characters at a different school need uniforms too though, so wish me luck! ^^
