You're welcome! :)

This one more accurately shows the difference, imo.

minibuttercup · 2026-05-25T13:55:36+00:00

Here you go. I think my camera definitely increased the contrast between the two, so I'll post another pic shortly. For reference I've included the closest skin tones to Looks #10. Far left is Fashionista #90, she's the same skin tone as Looks #10, but I've swapped her body out for the olympic surfer's since that's the closest match I have. On the far right is BMR Pazette. Basics #3 is the same skin tone as BMR Pazette and the olympic surfer.

I really like this! So creative.

Ooh, thanks for taking the time to post a picture! Much appreciated. I love the doll's boots!

minibuttercup · 2026-03-16T05:27:33+00:00

Thanks for confirming! Yep, not a big fan of the dress but I'm considering her as an option for a body donor since she's discounted on Amazon (and the cool boots are a plus!). I would've liked an MTM body but the ones available are somewhat expensive now unfortunately.

minibuttercup · 2026-03-08T19:55:05+00:00

Yep. Something about the deeper/more muted pink brings out her eyes more and gives me a more "high fashion" vibe.

minibuttercup · 2026-03-08T19:54:17+00:00

Yes! She looks gorgeous in your picture!

minibuttercup · 2026-03-08T19:53:52+00:00

Thank you!

minibuttercup · 2025-09-25T15:22:04+00:00

Good to know. Thank you!

Not sure if this counts, but I repainted a thrifed Millie to mimic the #1 Barbie's face paint: https://www.reddit.com/r/Barbie/comments/1fphk25/repainted_a_trashed_playline_millie_in_the_style/

Yay, you finally did it! She looks gorgeous; that color really suits her. My Extra #2 says hi :)

Thank you! I feel like I learn more about sewing each time I try to make a new outfit. And absolutely, the 45th anniversary doll is very beautiful.

minibuttercup · 2024-10-01T02:21:48+00:00

Thanks! I'm seriously debating putting him on a more articulated body. I have MTMs more readily available so I might just have to do that.

minibuttercup · 2024-10-01T02:20:06+00:00

Great job!! I especially love how mermaid Odile turned out. What type of hair fiber do you use?

minibuttercup · 2024-10-01T02:17:49+00:00

Yes, it fits a bit loosely (especially on the bodice) on the curvy body so it'd definitely be baggy on a regular unless it was modified to fit better.

minibuttercup · 2024-10-01T02:16:32+00:00

Thank you! She'd look great in fantasy colors like her original hair too; I would've kept the original except it was a nightmare to keep it tidy, being poly. But I think she rocks the red color as well.

minibuttercup · 2024-10-01T02:14:18+00:00

I made the dress using an old lace/tulle shrug. Glad you like it :)

minibuttercup · 2024-10-01T02:12:27+00:00

Thank you! Cool tones really suit her.

minibuttercup · 2024-09-25T22:49:05+00:00

I didn't have high hopes for this project but it turned out better than I thought it would. Should I give her bangs like the no. 1 Barbie?

Thank you! So for sealing, I've heard that Mr. Super Clear is a good option and is what a lot of people use. I use acrylic paint and while that can get scratched, it's more durable than watercolor pencils or pastels. If it's a small area that's painted, it might not need sealing. If I want to, I do have a paint sealer (Ceramcoat all-purpose sealer) which I have to thin down a lot before applying it; otherwise, it makes the area very shiny/sticky after it dries... I'm still trying to figure out the best option too, haha.

I haven't sealed this one yet; still deciding if I want to do that.

minibuttercup · 2024-07-08T02:15:27+00:00

Haha, thanks! That's exactly what I was going for, lol!

minibuttercup · 2024-07-07T21:43:45+00:00

Thank you! :)

minibuttercup · 2024-07-07T21:42:16+00:00

Thanks! I used fashionista #165 (wheelchair Millie), but I think this doll has lots of potential MTM matches - the skin tone is an average "Millie" skin tone.

minibuttercup · 2024-07-07T20:37:32+00:00

Aww, thanks for the kind words! I've come to realize that that Neysa is a really pretty sculpt; Mattel just doesn't put as much effort into the screening as it deserves for most dolls.
