Victoria Secret Twins
The one is wearing flowing, fluffy pants that came from removing the underwires from a lovely bra. She turned the bra cups into these billowing pants and used extra fabric to make the top of this "top models" outfit. Her sassy sister is on the loose with a pair of scissors. Her lovely outfit is toped off with the back hook part of the bra done in a stunning turn around the doll.

Belle
This one is from Barb's pattern. Her name is "Belle"(as in "southern"), she is 10 1/2" tall and is made from a bra and matching thong. I added the pink polyester chiffon for her sleeves, ruffle, bow (back) and hat. She has traveled around SC to encourage quilter's to get Barb's pattern and make these dolls.

BRAvo Lady Bug
"BRAvo Lady Bug" is 14" and is "in flight" (guess that you can figure out where the bra is) Her body is made of cotton dot fabric, her head and hands is a polyester suede that I hand dyed.
She has acrylic eyes and eyelashes. Her headpiece and antenna are leather and so are her "spots".
Her underwings are silk chiffon. She wears ultra suede shoes and carries a bouquet made from ribbon flowers that were an embellishment on the original bra.
She was a lot of fun as well as a challenge to make as I designed her as I went.

Turtle rider
Barb Keeling's
"Lady in Lace" pattern
I reduced it by 1/3 and bent the legs. I
tried to paint the faces like hers. The bra cups form the
top of the turtle shell and side panels of the bra make the bottom shell.

Clamshell Baby
I took the bra cup underwires and bent them into a "wave" design; creating a great clam shell. I reduced the pattern size of one of the doll pattern and used Dougs fun Doll face on the doll
