Worked all weekend making this for Nikki. She is 4' 6" mannequin.

Found her some decent quality wigs for cheap off Craigslist. She's wearing one of them.
New earrings I made.

Custom made choker bra set. Still have some minor decorating work to do on it. I'm not real happy w/t diamond shape nipple covers. I may go back and do triangles.

Custom made G-string.

Still have more things to make to goth her out completely.
Then I get to make another outfit!

Dude!! Fantastic. She looks great in that outfit. Her cute little tummy poking out a bit like she just gorged on a fat artery.
Yummy (the look, not the artery).

This is perfect for a look I want to achieve.
Are you familiar with Menace from Queen's Blade, an anime character? I love her. I've wanted to get Ellen dolled up like her, for a fun photo shoot and some fantasy play.
Her best outfits are leather though, and I thought it might be too tough to attempt.
This gives me inspiration.

Thanks Netwit. I thought you would like her!

Yeah, that cute little tummy. I think she swallowed a Boa before the shoot. Better ck the cages.

I'm not really up on Anime. I like it and the costumes. Just something I never got into being in the work shop most of my life. Just got into dolls a couple of yrs ago as I couldn't take not exploring fantasy / art any longer.

I googled some Menace images and I think the costume is do-able.
You could make leather leg wraps w/ velcro pads to hold the overlaps in the correct position. The stripped underwear will have to be hand made and custom fitted.

The neck and shoulder piece will be the most difficult. That might require making a simple mold to cast the pieces out of bondoglass or fiberglass. Did you see this post? : http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=55164
I would make a clay mold and cast the pieces out of bondoglass. Make them thin and maybe back w/ fiberglass resin & cloth. Glue onto a fabric should piece or drill holes and stitch the pieces on.

Hope you do it.
I'm always glad to help.

That outfit looks so cool on her! Thanks for sharing

Where is Anung? He'd love this!

Very crafty! Well done!
