Finished!

Finally. =')

It fits perfectly now, and has a nice little lace bust-piece~ I left the sleeves in their original length however.

Oh, and yes, Lamia got a new hair-do. x3

Almost...

I've been sewing Lamia's dress all day long - yet it's still not finished...! >.< However, it still looks great, even if it's not ready...

So, it looks like this...

 ...and here it is on my dear Lamia~

I am pretty proud of the double-skirt part, it just looks like as I imagined! And the sleeves as well~ Even though they are a bit long, I will cut them a bit tomorrow...

...and to be honest, there's a lot to do with this dress tomorrow: it's too big, for example. ='D I made it a bit bigger than Lamia on purpose, because there is no zipper sewn in the dress. I wanted to solve the problem with shirring, but the dress is still bigger than I expected... (That's why Lamia holds his arms like this - otherwise the dress would just slip down. x'D) Aaaaand we have a major problem up here...

Yyyyyyep. That decolletage is a bit... well... bold. =') I have totally no idea how did I manage to sew it like this... ^^" So I'll need to find a solution for that too tomorrow... Still a lot to do, a lot to do...

Broken Sculptures

Unfortunately I couldn't finish Lamia's new dress yet, because I had other things to do... However, today, Kishi and I went on a little trip and took a looooot of photos of our dolls~ Actually, we originally wanted to go to the Budapest City Park and the Vajdahunyad Castle, but we took a short trip to a place where I wanted to take some pictures of Lamia really long ago. (Then of course we went back to the plan and went to the City Park, but I leave those pictures for the next post. =P)

So, here they are, Lamia and the broken sculptures.

These statues can be found in the Wagner Palace. Some time ago, Paloma Project started to develop in this building, and since then there are a lot of creative art and design shops along the arcades. But for now I found the sculptures way more interesting for taking photos. xD

Somehow they are dreadfully beautiful...

...Especially this one. The other statue's eyes are closed - but this one is constantly looking at the viewer.

Literally, from every angle. x'D (Kishi told me it looks like the angel statues in Doctor Who. =D)

Next time I will show you the other photos - we took maaaaaany! - but for now, that's all. I hope you like them as much as I do. =)

Work in progress

Hi there! 

I finally got over my "I-dunwannado-anything" phase that made me unable to work on new clothes for the past few days, and I started to sew Lamia's new clothes for his birthday. =) It's a bit late now however, and I can clearly see the "Finally...!" expression on his face. ^^" But here are the results of today's work:

It's halfway done, I will put some more lace on the top of the bodice. But I'm pretty proud of the shape, I've never done something like this before. =D

And the lower part turned out just as I've imagined! x3 I was experimenting with a new method of cutting pieces, and I'm so glad it worked as I wanted!

Aaaaand this piece is about to be sewed under the lace-part. I hope it will end up good - and Lamia will like it... (He is a bit mad at me because I didn't buy him anything on his birthday, and I dared to come home with a violin for Gloria... ^^" A few days later I bought him a little mirror as an apology, but it didn't really satisfy him... So I promised to sew him four new dresses - one as the original present, one as an apology for being late, one as an apology for Gloria's violin and one for the fun. x'D)
