Since my last post on her I've been fortunate enough to acquire an almost complete look for her. Including a special wig.
I wanted a specific style for the wig, something I knew could be achieved best with natural fibres. Having made a couple of wigs myself, my perception of getting a certain look right has definitely heightened. So I commissioned J&C Entangled (flickr here: link) to make me a wig out of white suri alpaca that I provided. The style was to be short, scruffy and a little boyish.
I can only say: she nailed it!
As for the outfit, Kia lives in a cold climate, so I had something long in mind. The dress was made out of soft, lightweight jersey fabric and lined with lace trim for that special added detail. Thanks Mom! :D
So far, I think she looks incredible! The arm warmers are a neat extra to make it look a bit less cold. Just her bare shoulders need to be covered up. I hope to take to the sewing machine myself this time. Maybe a little poncho and a matching beanie? We'll see. As for now, I'm head-over-heels-happy!
Can't wait until she gets her Mako Eyes!
