Rissana

This beautiful riding habit features a skirt split in the front. Underneath is a shorter skirt to allow riding astride. High boots with a leather knee guard are elegantly tooled.

Ella

Ella wears this voluminous dress at an unfortunate dinner with her Father. Unused to such fancy dresses, with longs skirts and sleeves (and being natually clumsy), she trips on her skirt, trails the sleeves in food, and ends up breaking her father's crystal wine glass! Afterwards he decides she needs to attend finishing school.

Is it summer yet?



Not quite sunny weather but I couldn't resist putting Leslie into a sundress.

Ella

Ella wears this gown (of a spicy green color) at her mother's funeral reception. She rebelliously chose the untraditional color because it was her mother's favorite dress of hers.

Rissana

Here's a basic gown for Rissana. Typical of the fashions in her world there is an embroidered undergown with a short, close-fitting, jacket. Ribbons are used throughout as decoration. Boots are typically worn, this outfit features embroidered leggints which come all the way down on the foot and are fastened underneath the arch.

Spring is in the Air!

Leslie's getting ready for spring with this cute collared dress.

It actually got up to 50 degrees this weekend! It felt so nice to be outside and soak up the sun (still had to bundle up though, because the wind was cold). I'm looking forward to warmer weather!

Ella Enchanted

I've wanted to do a paper doll series based on Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine for a long time (since the book came out...). And so far every version I've done has been flawed in some way. This is perhaps the fifth or sixth attempt I've made, and yes, she is very flawed. But I'll post her for your entertainment:

Ella wears this heavy black mourning gown during the first chapter of the book, at her mother's funeral.

Rissana


Here is Rissana again1 Here she is garbed in a very simple gown and tunic combo. Leggings and socks are worn underneath for added warmth. Rissana wears this outfit as she recovers in a small village from an swordfighting injury; she wears only socks because the doctor insists she's not well enough to be out of bed yet, much less out of doors!

Apologies for all the missed posts on Mondays/Fridays. I need to ink and scan in all the new outfits!
