The little ladies new clothes

Lauren: "I'm ready Peeps! Sorry I took so long."
Iisabella: "I like your shoes too. Pretty like mine."
Scarlett: "Yes, they are cute. Anyway come on. Let's show our friends our new outfits. I'm going first."

Scarlett: "Hi Everyone. We finally have some new outfits to show you. I have a new top that used to be a toddler's dress. Brini fitted to me and added straps and I really like it. Come on Isabella your next."

Isabella: "Hola! Brini made me a custom dress using Simplicity 4707 sewing pattern. The bodice was made from recycled chambray from her dress and a .20 cents baby shirt from the Goodwill. I like they way it turned out."

Isabella: "Check out my shoes. Aren't the cute? These are My Life doll shoes from Walmart. The run about $3.95 and fit my feet too! Me and Lauren can share shoes and that's a wonderful thing. Ok, Lauren, your turn."

Lauren: "Hi Everyone. I'm so excited to have a new out and shoes. I thought I was going to be in my school uniform forever. Anyhoo, I was lucky to have a whole outfit sewed by Brini. She used Simplicity 0170 American Girl sewing pattern. Like Isabella, my skirt was made from Brini's dress and my top was created with scraps from a tunic she is working on. I really like them both."

Lauren: "My shoe are the same Walmart brand as Isabella's. My Life doll accessory line and I'm glad we can share shoes too."

Scarlett: "There you have it my friends. New outfits.  Finally."

Lauren: "Doing it big in "The D!"

Isabella: "Doing my happy dance."

Courage, determination, pride...that's what little girls are made of.

Introducing Lauren and Lacie!

Scarlett: "Hi Everyone. I was told I had to do this so I have to do it."
Brini: " I can hear you Scarlett."

Scarlett: "ooohhhh. Well my sister is here and her name is Lauren."

 Lauren: "Hello Friends. I have actually been here for awhile, stuck in my box."

Scarlett: "Well now your out and getting all the attention."
Lauren: "You mean, loovvveeee. Don't hate!"

Isabella: "No te olvides de mí, hermana."
Scarlett: "English Ms. Castineiras. You are not in even in this conversation. Where are you clothes anyway?"
Lauren: "Isabella, where are you clothes?"
Isabella: "I don't know, I'm just naked. Yaaayyyyy!"

Lauren: "Hee, hee, hee. Isabella you are so funny."
Isabella: "I will be getting a new dress soon."

Scarlett: "So you are walking around naked?"
Isabella: "Si!"

Scarlett: "I'm so over you two."
Isabella: "I'm so excited, I'm getting a new outfit!"
Lauren: "Scarlett, I have something for you."

Lauren: "I'm glad we are sisters."

Isabella: "Oh she pretty Scarlett. Muy bonito!"
Scarlett: "She looks like me! She's gorgeous."

Scarlett: "Thank you so much Lauren. I glad we are sisters. I love you."
Lauren: "I love you and Isabella too. When I saw her I knew I wanted to get her for you."

Isabella: "Me encanta todo el mundo también."

Lauren: "So Friends, I am a My Life 18 in doll. I am the School Girl version and I am wearing my original school girl outfit as well as glasses. They can be easily removed but I look so cute in them.  I got Brini attention right off the bat and when I ended up in her shopping cart I know I was headed to Dotsville to be loved out the box. I hope to see everyone soon!"

Brini: "I am so into this 18in doll! She is so cute in person and her little school girl outfit is very well made. The pleated plaid skirt and layered shirt are two separate pieces. I purchased her back in November for under $30.00 at Walnart. She is the second version of this doll, the previous one has been retired. I could never find her here in Charlotte so I missed out. Both dolls shared the same description stating they like science, math and art so I hope young girls pick up on this! If you want to learn more about her and other dolls in this line, you can find it here. Since the battery was running down on my camera I snapped a few more photos of her and Lacie.

 Here's a close up of her face. Love her makeup!

 This is how she looks without her glasses. Look at those eyes. See her cute smile?

Little Lacie was found during one of my insomnia nights and scanning Ebay. She is a 9in Zapf Creation doll and she is wearing her original outit, san shoes(which I will need to make or knit her some booties).

Here's a close up of her cute as a button face. I have so much love for this vintage brand. She's the perfect size to sit on Scarlett lap or my desk. Her name came about when she arrived and the first thing I saw was her lace collar, and it suits her well. She is about 9 inches in length, nice soft cloth body and really cute brown eyes. Although I tried to keep the strands out of her face, her hair is thick and nicely rooted. I'm glad she here in Dotsville!

Courage, determination, pride...that's what little girls are made of.
