My Last "Planned" Doll

Okay so I won't say that she is going to be my last doll because you never know what will happen, but I bought my last "planned" doll on February 17th from Souldoll.com.
I have purchased from them before so I feel good about the quality and dependability of the company, however I also know that they can take up to four months to send you your order. Sigh. I have a lot of time to prepare.
These are the company pictures of her. Obviously, I will be going for a much different look but you can see her sculpt here. She is actually a character I have had for a while but couldn't quite find the right sculpt for, but when it is love you will know it and she is perfect.



The first thing I do when I get a new doll is make sure that they have some hair and eyes because I don't like them sitting around all bald and hallow headed.
These are the eyes I had bought for her when I bought her husband's body (River).


This is some lace I bought with her wigs, that I intend to add to some dresses for her. She is a neutral color, lace, and soft feminine girl. Since she will probably arrive in the spring I am sewing warmer weather clothes for now.
 
Julia is going to be my model for sewing as well as wig demos.
This is the fist little outfit I made, a peasant top with a drawstring neck and three quarter length sleeves:

However I really like this style wig on Julia so I am thinking I need to buy another in black for her, LOL. This is "slate gray" by the way. It is her long "pretty" wig that will be used for fancier dresses and pictures.
Her other wig is her default "fluffy" wig, which is the original look I had for this character.
 

 

It is "Royal Gray" and is more crimpy than wavy, and has bangs which are very nice and stay where you part them. This top was pretty basic to make and ties around the back of her neck with ribbon.

More info about Charlotte:
She supposed to be some sort of albino as I ordered her in white skin (my first, all the others are normal skin). Her hair is grey because of it's lack of pigmentation, however I have no logical explanation as to why she has lavender eyes...I just thought they would be pretty. I am also going to give her white applied eyelashes to go with her hair and very subtle brow hairs. She will be much different to work on than my other dolls, but I am really looking forward to seeing her final look.
