Dressing your dolls like the book illustrations

Someday I want to dress my Lissie to match all the drawings in her books. I won't be able to fulfill this completely until I obtain her work dress, but I did finally get her original "meet" accessories a little over a month ago. So tonight I dressed her in the outfit she wears when Felicity is reunited with Penny. And now I thought I'd share:

The doll beside Felicity is the Aston-Drake porcelain doll of Jo from Little Women. The little porcelain doll behind them is just a little porcelain doll I picked up because I thought she was cute. I named her Flora after Anna Paquin's character from my favorite movie "The Piano."

HI,

What a great idea! I love the pink dress [img]smile.gif[/img] Now let me go & show my AG lack of knowledge...is that an AG dress or custom made? Either way, it looks perfect [img]wink.gif[/img] My mom made my dd the Rick Rack dress from Kit's book (in my album) and it's one of our favorites.

Hope you can get Lissies work dress soon.

I am guessing it is Feliciy's Spring Gown without the apron.

It is a cute idea.

Very cute! I love seeing the actual outfits in the books--it helps bring the story to life.

Someone made an album awhile back where she'd posed the dolls in scenes from the books, but I can't remember for the life of me who it was. [img]redface.gif[/img] Anyone else remember?
