Happy Hanukkah to everyone who is celebrating along with me.
Anyway, onto the paper doll, it was important to me to get a coat based set up before it was, you know, March or April. 🙂 So, here is some cute coats along with a fantastic updo and some boots for Marisole Monday and all her friends.
So, I used to think I was really bad about matching up the season to the paper doll set of clothing and I was about to write this whole post about how proud I was for getting these coats up now and not in, you know, June. Then I went through my archives looking for an example of a totally off seasonal post from Marisole Monday & Friends and I couldn’t really find one,
I guess I’m better at pairing up sets to the right season than I ever thought I was. Live and learn, I suppose.
Anyway, today’s printable paper doll is all about the coats. My favorite is the biker jacket. Which one is your favorite?
For example, today’s braided style comes from the November 2015 issue of Sophisticate’s Black Hair Styles and Care Guide. According to the magazine, the hair style is a combination of cornrows and box-braids. (I’m still learning my braiding terminology.) I don’t think I captured it perfectly (Marisole has a really low forehead, so that doesn’t help), but I’m pleased with the outcome.

I haven’t decided if I am going to do my usual end of the year drawing for a custom paper doll or not. I confess to being very divided on the subject- there’s a lot on my plate right now.
I’ve got a jacket similar to the biker one, only it’s made of cloth and has Jack Skellington’s face all over it. Got it at Disneyland during my senior trip. ^.^
But I think my favorite might have to be the one on the top right, I love coats with big collars almost as much as hoodies. ^.^
I like this set.
Very nice coats. For me, any coat is great as long as there is a nice warm neck scarf to wear with it! How about a cape? They make great coats over fancy dresses or gowns. Love love love the braided hair!!
Beautiful doll.
Your braids always look great. The texture is just perfect. I love the patterned top. Very cool!
i love the hair! nice to see something really different.
