Fairy Lily Doll 45cm Jointed eva bjd

I bought an inexpensive BJD online who turned out to be more of a nice sturdy jointed doll with a torso similar to obitsu dolls with soft plastic and a thick doll skeleton (armature) underneath. She is very customisable, her wig can be removed, the back of the head can be opened to replace her eyes and she can stand on her own, both with and without shoes. She comes with eyes, wig, painted facial details, crown, arm and anklets, two dresses, sneakers and a booklet with a passport to record her name and date of birth (she arrived on Valentine's Day).



Dark dyes stain most doll bodies especially soft ones, she has a stain on her front and on her lower back, I don't mind but be warned if you choose to purchase for yourself. I made her a stretchy white body sock so the dye bleed onto her plastic doesn't get worse.

I premade a bed for her and added some knick knacks so she would have somewhere comfortable to sleep.

I made this shirt for her the day I received her and the overalls the following week, I don't have or remember how to set up a sewing machine anymore so everthing I stitch is by hand and very time consuming. Overall I'm very happy with the results. (she has a cute little bunny friend peeking out of her pocket).

I have created several more clothing pieces; tights, stockings and a skirt. By the time the beginning of March rolled around I created a lovely white and off-white lace dress complete with lace gloves and a fan my hubbie and I found at a thrift store years ago. Originally I wanted to make an Alice In Wonderland-esque dress but didn't find thin pale blue fabric to my likeing for a reasonable price, I think the white table cloth like fabric worked out better. Now she is ready to join the tea party along with the other toys.
