Catsuits and animal character hats for Sindy
Go to the catsuit collection >>>
I've been busy pattern-cutting, designing and sewing and I finally finished some nifty catsuits for Sindy. Many iterations as usual and I can still think of a couple of adjustments to the patterns.
They come in separate parts - I realised it was best this way in case the doll has long hair. Otherwise there would need to be a gapey gap for the hair to come out (or have a big lump of her hair under the neck of the bodysuit). It also means the body part of the outfit can double to be used for other 12 inch fashion dolls. The hat is less versatile but it will fit Creatable World dolls as well as Sindy.
I always think of Eartha Kitt when I think of a catsuit - I wonder if I can find the whole Batman movie to watch it looks fabulous!
I think Sindy is a vampish match to Eartha in her red devil catsuit.
And a gauntlet Sindy in a black cat suit would be perfect in Gotham City. She's friendly with that mouse though, I thought they were mortal enemies!
The pastel colours have a far more cutesy look.
The hats look great with leotards as well.
Something about the rabbit makes her very easy to animate.
The tails also come seperately and can be attached with a small elastic loop.
Trying the outfits in a scene. I set up the Sindy makeup shop for a fun setting.
The display pack.
Complete quite late last night, but I just had to fix that curtain!
I will also make the patterns available as downloadables to buy. This will be a very affordable option. The suits and hats are tricky to make with a lot of seams and therefore not the cheapest. But I will also try to find a fabric that doesn't need to be hemmed. This should make them quicker to make and perhaps I can offer them at a slightly lower price. But if you want the luxury of buying an off-the-shelf Made in England catsuit or animal character hat, these are perfect! They are made with great care and high specs 😀
