Stocking Doll DONE!

finish this evening, I prefer the doll without the hat.
Tedious work, the gown has 80+ 'flaps', 5 different sizes.
would prefer a genuine barbie doll cos her face is prettier but I can't imagine cutting a barbie doll into pieces. Dissecting this $3 is certainly not that painful.....

will finish the hat & post pictures of it soon.
