Note to Readers

The majority of the text on this blog is written by Hikaru, a ball jointed doll. Try not to question it. The text written in pink font is commentary from Hikaru's human friend, Anna. Basically Hikaru does most of the writing and Anna keeps her from getting too out of hand.

Of Bjd Fashion: Dresses to Sew and a Tutorial

This post may contain affiliate links, please check out my disclosures page.  Thanks!

Anna has been sewing doll clothes again.  Not specifically for myself, though she did make me a lovely new dress so I have no cause for complaint.

A 1/4 scale ball jointed doll and an Ever After High fashion doll wearing matching dresses made using this sewing tutorial.

It was for this sweet little doll.  I present Cerise Hood.  She is an Ever After High doll that belongs to Anna’s dear little niece.  Anna’s niece has similar fashion dolls that are all lacking in appropriate attire.  Since today is the child’s birthday, Anna decided to remedy the situation.  She discussed this here on her own blog.

Anna was generous enough to create a video tutorial, showing the world how to make these quaint little dresses.  I have decided to add it here so my wonderful readers will be able view it and perhaps find it useful.



It mostly features my new friend, but I do make an appearance.  Hence why Anna was gracious enough to make a new dress for me.


Updated 1/7/2018:  Anna created an alternate version of the video tutorial for people who are short on time.  It takes about 15 minutes to view instead of of 30 minutes.


I do quite like it.  It fits me like a glove, and the lace detail and simple bow are a lovely yet subtle addition.  It is a tiny bit bare which makes it perfect for a nice lazy Summer day.  However, I shall require more layers for the current weather.  Maybe a lovely new blouse to wear underneath?

I’m glad to hear Hikaru likes the dress and that she is showing off my new video.  I do wonder if the only reason for that is because she is in it.

Anyway, I’m in a good enough mood that I won’t go on about how Hikaru’s “new friend” is made by Mattel (the company that makes Barbie).  It’s not important enough to dwell on. 
As for a new blouse, that could be possible in the future.

Mattel?  I shall not dwell on it either.  And there is no wrong doing in sharing a video that features my lovely visage.  Maybe if I appear in Anna’s videos more they will receive more positive feedback.   

Anyway, I am off to join Cerise for a cup of tea while viewing more videos.  Be at peace.

Pleasant comments are always welcome and appreciated.

But please, no anti-doll comments. They are unnecessary and a bit rude. We understand that some people find dolls creepy or weird, but this is a "doll blog" that is intended for those who enjoy dolls. If you dislike dolls that much, don't waste your time reading doll blogs.
