I used a -lot- of hair gel trying to give her a Tang hairstyle.
Not 100% happy with the outfit, but it's OK for now. I have to use poster putty to keep the dress from sliding off her plastic boobs.
I bought used blouses from thrift stores because the local fabric store carry mostly quilt cotton and fleece. It's hard to find suitable thin, dappy fabric with small patterns. The fabric I saw online was prohibitally expensive.
Man do I have feelings about Valinor elves in Hanfu. I design them and I make them to sell and I can just envision how well some of the Finweans would carry them. Like, 唐装 (tang dynasty styled) on idril??? Or on Turgon??? Or on Miriel??? Gods I’ve been designing some lately with Aredhel in mind and oh lord, it is going to be one of my best works.
Gone with the rain mania continues...(and will go on for a long time 'cause I'm shipping this drama VERY HARD)
I started watching this drama because of the cute mv showing Moxi & WJG. I was really shipping them when I started this drama (God, I know better now).
Then fangirl hysteria started when we got more Moxi & Chen Wende moments...
Now that the drama is finished (and they really pampered us with a remaining 15 minutes of Moxi & Chen Wende cuteness (and yesss we got another kisss as welll), I give Xiao Wu some thoughtful consideration as well (probably the most likable character of all). Am I the only one (please don't tell me I'm really the only one) who thinks they should create a spin-off/side story and make him end up with a like-minded girl that has good manners and who is well versed in poetry? I'm really falling in love with this character! Is it because I got too invested with the novel, do I feel the urge to write some fanfiction or is it just due to a lack of sleep (since I'm binging this drama everyday till 3 am and I still can't let it go)?
DAMN I love that this drama has to many handsome ML's to choose from...
I finally got around to fixing the skirt for one of my Tang Dynasty female dolls. I grabbed my trusty seam- ripper and removed the wide elastic band at the top. I replaced it with 1/2" ribbon, folded in half over the gathered top edge of the skirt. I added 1/4" ribbon for ties. I found a Barbie clothing set with a print gauze 'kimono' top. I cut a strip of net for her scarf. I also redid her hair. Her skirt no longer falls off.
