So, I hope you’ll forgive me Monica for the tardiness of this post. Monica won my last contest/drawing and asked for a Chinese girl paper doll wearing street-fashion from China. This caused a fairly long series of internet searches during which I attempted to figure out what the heck Chinese street fashion looked like anyhow. I feel rather bad because Monica was kind enough to send me some more reference images after her first set, but by that time I had already scanned and colored this paper doll, so they will have to wait for a sequel.

So, the inspirational images for this post included these. The fluffy green skirt was inspired by a picture of a pink one. More obviously, the red coat was based on this image. And then I decided to make some obnoxiously bright pants which came from another image from flicker. Of course, since I didn’t bookmark all the images I ended up using, I don’t have as many as I used, but those are a few of my inspirational shots. There are plenty of other Marisole posts which include items that could be added to this set to expand the paper dolls wardrobe. Sweater Style has some neat boots that would go well with today’s set and the sweet version of the retro pin-up set has some short white shorts that would layer well over the black leggings and pretty much all of Modern Girl would work as well, though it’s a little bright in some respects.
As I mentioned yesterday, the blog is obviously being reformatted as we speak. I just have to ask people to be patient while I get things looking at least decent and get everything relinked and some images which were lost when I lost my formatting reloaded. Be patient with me and promise I will get it all done eventually.
Edit: I just noticed that I used an apostrophe wrong and now I am entirely embarrassed. At some point, I will fix this.
I can just imagine some lucky girl walking the streets in these adorable clothes. Great job! Monica, this is really cute! Lucky you..
Thank you!! It looks sooo nice! When I first saw it, I literally went “oooo” and “aaahhhh”. Thank you so much, it looks wonderful. You did a great job. Thank you thank you thank you!
Monica
P.S.
I would have to saw that I like the idea of the white tank paired with the green fluffy skirt. With the flats and the jewelry, that would look awesome! Thank you!
This is really cool! I wish I had these clothes in real life.
Monica: I am so glad you like it. The jewelry was hard to do since it was so detailed and the size is so small, but I think it came out fairly well.
Twizzler: Most of these clothes exist in real life, it’s just a matter of tracking them down.
Janani: Thank you.
