It's taken me a while but I finally got around to creating a new MH outfit, and I really wanted to share it with you guys! Lagoona was lucky enough to be chosen as my model On to the photos! The outfit is made up of a dress, jacket, pants, leg warmers and a fabric belt. All stitching was done by hand and everything was cut freehand without any patterns... It was all very much trial and error so it's not perfect at all... I didn't intend for such a plunging neckline for instance lol I used some random MH pieces to enhance what I felt would otherwise be a pretty plain outfit. 2.0 Frainkies belt really works with it I think! I also used Signature Spectra's necklace, CaM Dragon boots, Ghoul Spirit Ghoulia's earrings and Bratz bangles. The gecko and frog are the latest versions of little creatures I've been sculpting for the last few years. They just happened to be the right size for MH and fitted this scene so I thought I'd throw them in for the photo shoot too. I'm really happy with how the pictures came out and I hope you guys like them

Holy cow this outfit is UH-MAZING. I can't believe your tiny perfect hems! And even if the neckline didn't go as planned (haha), everything else fits so well. Way impressed! Also, are those millions of tiny braid in her hair? Dang! This is a great look for Lagoona. n_n PS The second photo totally belongs in a fashion magazine. Great pose and angle.

That is just the cutest outfit!!! I envy people who can sew, I really do. She looks amazing in it! I really love the tunic dress paired with the capri leggings! And all of the MH accessories look great with it!
And oh my, the gecko and the froggie are adorable!! They fit so well with Lagoona.
I can't believe her hair! How on earth did you do all of those tiny braids!? I can't even braid my own hair, let alone the tiny hairs of a doll. You enlisted tiny butterflies to help you with that, didn't you.

Aww thank you so much guys <3 They are indeed many little braids in her hair! That is the result of a very bored Mindy but I love Lagoona all beachy and braided. They're just held in with firm hold gel.. I drowned each piece before braiding and then finished with another dose of gel! It's really not that bad once it's dried though, nothing like the gel/glue they come out of the box with. Ha ha Prawnlegs! I was tempted to fix the neckline, but knowing me I'd destroy the whole thing. Good thing Lagoona is far too cute to look trashy Princessjes, the pants were actually an afterthought. I tried to get some pics without them but the neckline paired with the short dress was anything but modest lol So what better to fix that than cute little black pants? ;D

Thank you lemonpeanut ;D Honestly, the time I put into the clothes I make is pretty excessive since it's all hand sewn and I'm fussy lol. That outfit took probably around 10 hours over two days. Mostly because that's actually the first jacket I had done I have since made a fitted suit for one of my Barbies, with a jacket and that didn't take as long, but still about 4 hours for the whole outfit. I'm sure you're just as capable of making custom MH clothing Bewilderness actually has a thread full of patterns and such here: mhglitterati.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=customs&action=display&thread=114If you're not confident, just start with something simple but practice really is great for custom doll clothes in my experience <3
