Complete: Madeline Hatter

17" Madeline Hatter
Ever After High
Clothing Remake.

Remade the dress skirt, reused the bodice. Remade the lace glove cuffs. Painted the necklace, teacup hat, and shoes. Hot-water curled her hair.

Before and After:

This doll's strange because all of her accessories have molded details, but none of them are painted.

Remade the skirt to give it more volume. Replaces her glove's plastic lace cuffs with actual lace.

The gold border on her skirt is the inside of the brocade, turned to the outside. It's held in place with bullion tacks, which give it the look of the little patterned edge, but in texture instead of print. Bottom is the pattern on the original skirt, which I think looks quite a bit like this brocade.

And here's the whole ensemble. Except the wrist cuffs, none of it's sewn on. All removable. The petticoat has an elastic waist, and the black glitter tulle edging is trimmed with a green and a purple ribbon. The dress has the striped ruffle attached. and closes with four snaps in the back.
All the paint that I added to the accessories was done in the form of a paint pen and a bottle of nail polish. And I made her a quick little cover-up top, because sewing while she was there topless was a bit weird. That's made out of bleached muslin that I had hanging around, with ribbon straps and some fabric marker edging. She doesn't wear it under the dress.

While I was taking these pictures, I was thinking I should probably make her some bloomers. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day.
