I did not take anything resembling a good before photo because I didn’t know I was going to do this until I was doing it, but I slightly edited Alice’s face paint after removing her glitter and giving her long striped socks (from @dollsahoy !)

I want to give her some kind of petticoat situation so that it puffs out her skirt properly, but it turns out I have no garbage tulle or other suitable crunchy puffy stuff in all of the strange fabric that I have hoarded. I feel like everyone has garbage tulle, so I don’t know how this is possible.

I do have some very thick black lace ribbon, though. So I might pretend I know what I’m doing with some stiff black instead of white. We will see. I always enjoy sewing more once I’ve sat down and gotten into it but for some reason it’s always like either I am developing my own pattern and making an entire elaborate plush toy and doing nothing else but that for a straight 8 hours every day in some kind of fever or I am sewing a single line and then feeling utterly done.

Good luck on that petticoat, Alice.
