I went out today to go shopping and found these cute doll outfits that went with these ugly looking dolls (their faces were *very* similar to Licca dolls, but the eyes were way too big and the bodies looked… odd. The arms were a completely different shade from the body!). And they had separate outfits for sale, so I figured I’d give it a try (just bought the one outfit – came with 1 pair of shoes and 1 outfit – the shirt and skirt are one piece). I figured at a few dollars, it would be okay if it didn’t work out (I was worried the shoes wouldn’t fit). But the shoes fit! And the schoolgirl outfit fits beautifully as well There’s some stray threads on the inside and I’m going to fray check it all.

The shoes are black PVC – I haven’t left them on her feet for very long (rather afraid of them staining her poor little feet), but so far they haven’t stained (however, I have only left them on for about 10 minutes). So here is Belarus, dressed up as a schoolgirl!

I got mail yesterday for the girls:

On the left side: black pullrings and strings, toffee, apple and turquoise eyechips for Belarus. (Toffee will complete her mini-me look.)

On the right side: kiwi jelly pullrings and strings, wheat, olive drab and teal eyechips for Sophie.

All I need is the nerve to actually change out their eyechips and to give them sleep eyes and a bit of gaze correction (so they can look *up* at me, rather than looking down when they’re standing up straight).

My order of Twiggy Twiggy pullrings (with matching strings) and Brainworm eyechips came from April of commonlycute.com! I placed my order on August 9 (Sunday night) and it was put into the mail the next day (Monday) and arrived within a week (Monday August 17th) from the east coast of USA to the west coast of Canada. Not bad, not bad at all.
