Back to Paris

 My EID version of Jamie got a new suit from Period Threads this week, inspired by SartoriaJ's Rococo themed dolls a couple of releases ago. I thought Jamie would look stunning in something similar, so my friend Robyn (Period Threads) agreed to make Jamie something of his own.

Robyn's attention to detail is second to none. She used embroidery around the edges of the coat, and I think it adds quite a rich feel to it, and it is in better scale than any of the trims that we found available. 

I chose a patterned silk for the waistcoat instead of doing trim on a plain silk (as SJ did on the outfit they offered that was the inspiration for Jamie's outfit). I love how it turned out.

I'm also super pleased with how well the three silks blended for the total look of the outfit! I don't think Jamie will be taking this gorgeous outfit off anytime soon!

Welcome Spring

 I can't believe it has been 3 years since I've updated this blog. Sadly, my Outlander crew haven't gotten much attention the past couple of years. I was inspired by SartoriaJ's new collection highlighting Versailles to dig through my clothing stash for my mini's and redress Roger and Bree. I originally had Jamie and Claire in mind for these outfits, but sadly, the vest/coat on Roger's outfits didn't stretch well across Jamie's wider chest/shoulders. (Jamie is on the Muscle body and Roger is on the FID Model body).

With Bree's red hair, I have to say this dress probably suits her better than Claire anyway. Both outfits are from SartoriaJ and I've had them for several years, although this is the first time they have been on dolls. The outfit on Roger is currenctly back up FS during the "Versailles" event. I wish they would have introduced new outfits for the mini size. I may pick up the red dress in the mini size, as I had not purchased it previously. The only issue with the dress is you have to take the hands off to get the sleeves over them.

I have to say, I really enjoy Edan as Roger. He was a bit of a "fluke" when "casting", but I think he works perfectly with Bree.
