Hi there….This is another of my projects that I am finally getting up on here, and one for the record books as well!! WHEW! Not sure I’ll ever take another where they have tattoos!! LOL That was crazy to try and duplicate!! But, they were happy, so YEAH! This one took a while longer, and I actually ended up buying a used dress and cutting it up and using the material so it would be a perfect match!! To order the material from the manufacturer would have take WAY too long, so I do what I have to! 🙂  All and all this took just a little over 3 months from 1st contact to shipping! WOW! But, it was in time for the wedding and she loved her, so all is well that ends well eh! 

The dress was VERY Unique, so I’m really glad I ended up doing what I did for the material! The hardest part of this I think though, was her tattoos! WOW! That is a lot of ink to try and match!! But, I did my best!! Thank heavens for tiny tipped pens! LOL  Here is a pic of her real arm and then what I came up with on the doll right under:

The next steps were trying to match the jewelry and headpiece. Here are some pics of the real thing, with the ones I made underneath: 

The earrings:

And the headpiece: 

Now we have to have shoes too! So, I started from scratch and came up with these:

Of course you want all the little details there as well, and the cute undies and garter are adorable, so I wanted to get that right as well:

Well….it was quite the journey! Hope you enjoyed hearing about it and looking at all the pictures!! Here are some of the finished product:

And my FAVORITE picture that the brides mother sent me is of her daughter holding the finished doll at the wedding:

Thanks Michelle for letting me be a part of this lovely time in your lives! Here are some of the lovely things she said: – More photos of her and doll to come.   And will be posted.  People are asking.    She definitely was a hit.  And Angie called again to talk about how she loves her and someday how her daughters will see her as a bride.   ❤️ -I can’t thank you enough.     She is perfect —-Angie will love her as much as I do- can’t wait till the guests see her too -Angie is gonna love her.  I’m glad her make up person will be with her doing the bridesmaids.  This could be a tear moment.   Wow.   I love her.  Nose ring and all❤️- never thought I’d say I love the tattoos and ring.  But.  They are her ❤️😱😋
