I love regency costume, though not as much as my Mother loves it. I find it simple and elegant and a little romantic, but it can get boring to draw after a while. I try to learn new things about the era each time I draw it- like I learned elastic actually existed (who knew?) and was being used for garters.
Never would have thought of that.

Days seem slip away quicker than I can blink and suddenly I am realizing time has passed. I suppose that’s the danger of having many commitments on my time- I’m always stretched thinner then I thought I would be. Working while going to school is incredibly forefilling and incredibly challenging. I love my program. I love my job, but my time is a premium. Fortunately, I paper doll to relax, so as long as I know what I am going to do, I can sit down on my couch with my clip board in my lap and draw away when I get home from work. Sure my dishes get neglected, but who needs dishes?
I’m still playing around with skin tones for Marisole, eventually I’ll get a set of them that I like on multiple computers.
I really really really like the orange dress. The cape is totally enchanting.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

I don’t know how I missed this one, but it’s great. I really love the little blue jacket.
It’s a regency marisole. it’s SO cute. I love it. May favorite era is the Regency.
Umm…. How do you put the red hat on?
The same way you do with all the hats that don’t have tabs. Create a backing piece and paste it to the edges. In some of the earlier paper dolls, I didn’t include backing pieces. Full instructions can be found in the FAQ.
