I was getting my groove, so to speak, when I made the rainbow dresses specially the rainbow blouse. After I finished that, I felt more competent in doing this little wrap dress. This dress has no hooks or snaps. It is closed by tying the sash around the waist.
On the side, I was also practicing repainting again. I went through my box of Barbie heads to check if I'm inspired to give one a make-over. That's when I saw the head from the Native American Barbie, a Teresa mold.
I have always wanted a Teresa head with a sophisticated make-up like the 1st Barbie Basics model 11 but I wanted one with long black hair so both versions Teresa from the Basic line wasn't that appealing to me. After finishing repainting I already knew who is going to wear the new wrap dress.
I untied her braids and retained the waves on her hair. I felt she's more sultry that way. I was lucky to have a fashion pack from Liv dolls having an interesting necklace with a peacock motif and I thought it matches her dress. The bag is also from the same Liv fashion pack. The shoes is from a Barbie Basics fashion pack.
I named the doll as Therese Tulis. She's just pretending she's a Von Furstenberg. Come to think of it, she is probably the only doll I have that has a surname!
