Two January 1882 Costumes for Judy Vol. 30

Volume 30 of the Judy serial has some very strange things in it, but out of about twenty costumes to choose from I've selected a balance so that these aren't too weird! I try to pick things that either catch my fancy (like the foresty looking dress above), or things that challenge my ability to reproduce patterns and textures.

Chasemore, the original artist, clearly had not only a vivid imagination, but an absolute gift for rendering. I can't do all of his designs justice, but it's fun to see what I manage.

All of the the outfits in this series have a curly fringe hairstyle. I probably should have just given that hairstyle to the base doll, but it actually makes the headgear easier for me to manage. I drew a complete set of 10 extra outfits for this doll over the weekend, so there are four more plates to follow.

I can't wait to see more plates of Judy. I find the curly hair style of this period to be very unflattering, but I try not to let that get to me. I love the forest gown, though I'm not sure how it related to January.

i totally agree with you about the poodle hair (probably why i didn't subject the doll to it in the first place).

if you find that january gown perplexing, just wait; i have a doozy coming.
