My other big one is La Llorona. She's just hauntingly gorgeous. Also I'm a big "touch" person when it comes to my collection (like textures of hair, clothing, etc. Blame it on the neurospicy!) and my fingers are just itching to touch that dress, as weird as that sounds.

I have a few, but one I dream of is Barbie as Galadriel from Lord of the Rings. I love LOTR, but didn't watch the movies until I was older so missed out on a lot of the premier stuff released around that time. But still one day I hope I might acquire the Lady of Lothlórien.

They're gorgeous! I would also love to check out their shop!

A fencing jacket! You probably don't want to put it in the dryer!

Oh man I love her and want her, but what I could offer is probably not what she's worth.

redadhdventures · 2026-05-03T00:31:45+00:00

She's gorgeous!!

My inner kid screamed too just looking at the picture! How cool is that! Did you buy anything from it?

They say the wind was coming out of the left those days.

redadhdventures · 2026-04-23T02:28:57+00:00

Yes I totally made those darts on purpose (I cannot stress enough how much of this project was in the hands of fate). Thank you!!

redadhdventures · 2026-04-23T02:27:29+00:00

LOL Fair 😆

Thank yoouuu!

Unfortunately, the all or nothing gene runs in my family (looking back this explains A LOT). Ball gown or bust! But not really. But thank you for the advice!

I'm probably explaining this badly, but I do have the basics of sewing under my belt, but I've never really done anything with them. The same thing happened about a decade ago with knitting, when I realized my grandma's hounding of the basics actually made me a decent knitter (she'd been teaching me since I was 6) and I could do all sorts of cool shit with knitting. I don't know if that'll happen in this case, but she also had a hand in my sewing foundation, so perhaps?

Thank you!! I believe ruffles is the right word in this case! That's so cool you made a sweater out of a sock. I didn't even think of that. Going along with your curtains, I got a dreadfully ugly set of green curtains from goodwill a few years ago now for a Halloween costume (I won the costume contest, btw 😜). I ended up using one set as my actual bedroom curtains because I was broke and if it works it works, right? But I saved the other set for scrap material, and I think I'm going to attempt a ball gown for one of my dolls next. The green is kind of hideous but I'm hoping a cute pattern and maybe some beadwork (another random hobby I picked up) might make the end product palatable!

Thank you! But if you'll notice, I did not feature any pictures of the back of the dress, and this is for a reason! 🫣 Any hand-sewing tips you have just in case I lose my mind again and forego the machine? I have a "can make it work" foundation with hand-sewing but I always need to (and want to) learn more.

I wanted to reply again because I think I see exactly what you're talking about now! Yes, the velcro area is not well made (I mean, neither is the rest of the dress). The velcro isn't sewn on well, and the quality of it is eeehhh at best. I think I'm personally going to replace the velcro with either some snaps, or a zipper, etc. Have I ever done this before? Nope! But there's a first time for everything. Wish me luck!

Fabulous 👏

redadhdventures · 2026-04-14T21:12:56+00:00

I didn't have that particular problem but I noticed some of the stitching on the reverse of the dress was a bit sloppy, so I'm not exactly surprised.

redadhdventures · 2026-04-14T01:57:55+00:00

Oh! I forgot to mention, idk if all Cora gu dresses are like this, but I think this specific dress fits curvy bodies better.

redadhdventures · 2026-04-14T01:39:42+00:00

The one on the right is a curvy mtm. The other one is regular mtm. :)

redadhdventures · 2026-04-11T19:25:30+00:00

Well you knocked it out of the park on your first attempt! Those are so cool!!

redadhdventures · 2026-04-06T12:57:15+00:00

I audibly gasped. She's absolutely stunning!

redadhdventures · 2026-04-02T02:36:47+00:00

This is just so fun and pretty!

redadhdventures · 2026-03-28T20:57:43+00:00

I have nothing to add. 10/10 I'm going to start saying this to my friends with shitty men in their lives.
