Creating the Costume
This doll will have a little skirt on, so before I get to that I am going to add some lace panties.
These are made by first roughing out the shape on a piece of paper, and then cutting out the lace to suit.
From there I test it on the doll and trim as need be.
Once you are happy with the shape they can be glued on.
For this doll I have just used a dab of Fabri-tac glue on each hip.
That is enough to keep it in place, and no extra glue is needed elsewhere. And since its not fully glued down you can do extra trimming with sharp scissors if you need to do some tweaks.
I have made her top out of wire and tissue paper.
The wire was first twisted to get a little pattern in the center, then curved around her breasts, and then around her back. I then glued it in place with a tiny dot of superglue.
The leaf shaped bra is cut from a bit of green textured tissue paper. I then soak it in watered down tacky glue and place it on the doll. The damp tissue paper can be mould by pleating it and pressing the two bits together. When it dries the glue holds it all in place.
You can see more of this process in my start to finish tutorial.

The skirt was made with another piece of wire, twisted into shape and glued around the back, the same process as the top.
I then cut out a bunch of leaf shapes. These were inserted just under the wire and glued into place.
