I made a little Blythe dress today and thought I would see how many of my smaller jointed dolls it would fit. I selected four and lined them up to compare body size.
From left to right:
Vera (Kruseling), Gigi (Ruby Red Galleria), Wren (Makielabs), Helen (Jecci Five)
It is interesting to see their different sizes, and will be fun to try on the dress on each of them.
First of all I tried it on Vera. It fitted quite well, and is a good length on her, although the arm holes were a little tight. This was a surprise as she was the only one it was tight on.
Gigi tried it on next and it fits her well, although perhaps a tad too long.
Helen tried it on and it of course fitted her as I knew it would as I have used this pattern before.
Wren tried it on last. I gave her some new glasses. Although I prefer her in black, she lost her original black ones, and the ones she was wearing in the top picture were a replacement pair, but they were always too big, and they just keep slipping and falling off all the time which is a shame. The only other pairs I had that suited her were a blue pair and a white pair. She chose the blue pair and is having a little giggle about them.
She also found a pair of blue shoes to match the dress and glasses.
I am thinking I might colour the white pair black as they too fit her and I do still prefer the black on her, but perhaps I just need to get used to the blue pair. Shame the replacement black pair seem to have been printed at a slightly larger scale.
Anyway, it seems Wren won the trying on competition as she declared she wasn't going to take the dress off!
