She's Arrived!

A package came in the mail!

It's my new brunette Little Miss Revlon doll!

Not too dirty really, so that's good.

Her earring holes have turned a little green.

I will get some acne cream to treat the green tinge.

AH, a refreshing shampoo and wash.

This is my cleaning team.

Wig or synthetic hair shampoo and conditioner

can be purchased at any beauty supply shop.

Magic eraser sponges do a great job of cleaning

vinyl doll skin.

Much better already.

After her first hair brushing.

I couldn't wait to see her in a pretty dress.

I think her trademark color will

be PURPLE.

Next I want to brighten her face.

I use a skin tone and a melon color.

I first use the melon to repaint her lips.

Next I mix the two colors and use a

makeup sponge dried on a paper towel

to pink her cheeks.

After a trip to the store for some acne cream,

 I used a needle dipped in the cream and 

inserted into her earring holes.

After one night the green tinge is 

almost completely gone!

Right after I found this doll I also found

2 dresses.

This purple stripe dress...

and this periwinkle dotted swiss.

I found out from Jenny that the purple 

stripe dress is from an Eegee's Annette doll.

(A Barbie size Lilli clone)

The dress is a fit except the bodice is a little tall.

I will repair and refit the bodice.

But first it needed a washing.

Next is the dotted swiss dress. The dress is clean

and crisp, so I decided not to wash it.

The dress was very sheer, so I made

 this simple strapless slip.

I also made a hairband and belt.

These are the shoes my new doll came in.

They are very faded blue.

I decided to do a makeover on them.

I will use ivory with the blue.

The shoes will match her belt.

READY TO SEE HER 

in her new dresses?

HERE

SHE

IS!

Here she is in the first purple dress I put her in.

And, here she is in her periwinkle dotted swiss

with her renewed heels, belt and 

hairband.

The belt is made with a vintage earring piece.

Her lace hairband is also made 

with vintage lace.

Next is the purple stripe dress.

I adjusted the bodice by tacking

it in the back.

I love how she looks in purple!

I have one more outfit to share!!

I made her this crochet top and

matching full skirt.

The little bling on her waistband

is also from a vintage earring.

Time to get acquianted with Amanda

and Julia.

Everybody meet

LAUREN!
