Retro Showgirl Project for Dollpa

So I made a Flickr account. Made an album documenting my process of making the vegas showgirl costume for Dollpa, my first doll project:

 

The rest of the album is here.

 

This is beautiful! Your beadwork is so perfect do you mind me asking how long that part took? Your hands must have ached but gosh it's stunning!

Thank you! I managed to complete the beading on the bodysuit and gloves in 2 days, putting in a whopping 13-14 hours each day!

I found a special needle specifically for small beadwork, it's long and bendy and it really helped. It was a game changer~

That's fantastic, it's a wonderful look for a wonderful doll. I haven't done a ton of beadwork, and never any that small so I will remember the needle. Thank you for sharing your hard work.

It looks amazing! I'm impressed you've made the inside similar to a human sized corset, with boning and waist tape and all!

I am an absolute stickler for structure and proper patterning so I had to try, thank you!

Wow. This is stunning!!!
