WHERE TO START?


I have decided to start with 2 Googly Dolls my Mother-in-law made. They have no commercial value but huge sentimental value. Because they have such impish faces I have decided to dress them as storybook characters, possibly Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter.
This way I can decide on both girls and boys undergarments and use them as a test for fabrics etc.




I’m not sure where to even find small supplies for buttons etc. and doll wigs in New Zealand?! I guess it is back to the internet again!

I did find a good site that explained how to measure for wigs and other things.
My inspiration for Alice comes from the latest film with Johnny Depp. I think a Googly will make a great Mad Hatter!
Although I am not sure for Alice, might need to choose another doll and use the second Googly for a White Rabbit or even the Queen of Hearts?!
