Ok, the bodies are as done as they are going to be. I did the sandals on one last night and started the dress. Like I said, I don't want to sew the clothing on them. This is what I have done so far....
here is the skirt part of the dress, it has white with gold thread brocade, the over dress is sparkly organza with trim on the bottom and the bussle or whatever is gold lame.
The sleeve has 5 rows of trim which will be beaded later and the other two sections are added. The sleeve has been added to the bodice. So far so good, I am able to put the dress together, and not sewing it on the body.
After I put the dress on the doll, I will gather the wrist and tack that part to the doll adding beads etc.
I stil have to put the bodice on the skirt and hopefully I will be abe to do that.
