Hi the<\/span><\/em>re….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! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 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!\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the bride Angie<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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\u00a0 Here is a pic of her real arm and then what I came up with on the doll right under:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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:\u00a0<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
