Lyra's Outfit

Now that I've introduced Lyra, I figured I better do her outfit next. She has a cape made of a silky silver velvet.

Lyra's cape is floor length. Her hair almost is too! LOL. Actually, her hair isn't quite that long, but it is really long and I absolutely love it.

Lyra's cape works a little better with the hood down because of her hair.

The silver goes really well with the rest of her dress.

Her dress is mint green ultrasuede. Ultrasuede is a great fabric because it doesn't fray. It's soft like suede and this one stretched just like knit. I hand stitched the whole dress.

Lyra's belt is a pearly faux leather that I bought to make something for Wyn. It's an extremely thick and heavy upholstery leather, but it worked perfectly for a belt.

I used a gather stitch to pull down the top of her dress just a little, and then I glued a pretty crystal star to it.

Lastly, I made her a bag of her own. It hangs over her shoulder with an embroidery floss strap made of three different colors of floss. The bag itself is sewn of the same leather stuff as her belt. I used mint green embroidery floss to stitch a design on the flap of her bag, and I sewed three pearl beads to the bottom. I finished by gluing another crystal star right to the center.

I like the dolls this size. Making stuff for them is relatively easy and a lot of fun.
