Annalise Riddle Me This: LJ and RDB Items

Whattup peoples. We have kinda fallen behind on the whole posting pics of our own dolls and our clothing collection thing -- which is kinda the overriding point of this blog, haha. So we will try and be more productive on that front. ;-) (We literally have boxes and boxes of stuff we haven't photographed yet -- yikes!!!)

Today we have another "Riddle Me This" from Annalise.

She is wearing Liberty Jane's "Founder's Day" jean jacket from the OOAK kind set that was auctioned off on Ebay back in the Spring 2012 line.

If you are interested in using this pattern to make your own jacket go here: http://www.libertyjanepatterns.com/2012/06/denim-jacket-doll-clothes-pattern.html

We also own this jacket in a light blue fabric that was handcrafted by L'Atelier de Sitara as part of her "Most Likely to Succeed" outfit for her Yearbook Fall/Winter 2012 couture line. http://www.etsy.com/listing/106523492/yearbook-collection-most-likely-to

Sitara's pic:

So there are all sorts of creative ways you could use this pattern. Denim, chino fabrics, floral prints. Color options are only limited to the fabrics you find. You can embellish it a lot or a little -- with buttons, snaps, or studs, or even fabric painting, embroidery, lace or calico additions, or applique. You can also play around with the stitching, making it colorful or making it blend in.

Also as far as embellishing, consider distressing techniques.

Cinnamon has distressed the edges of this jacket to give it a vintage feeling.

Annalise's purple striped tee shirt and cuffed khaki shorts are from

Etsy's Royal Doll Boutique.

We can't say enough good things about RDB. The quality of their items is excellent and the prices are even more fantastic. You can enhance your doll's wardrobe without killing the piggybank, and Lisa is very willing to do custom orders. Be sure to look closely at her sold custom items for ideas on what to order: http://www.etsy.com/shop/RoyalDollBoutique/sold?ref=shopinfo_sales_leftnav

Okay, we've gotten all the 'splaining out of the way.
Are you ready for the riddle???

Annalise's Riddle Me This #1: LJC Items

We have about 3,000 things to be posting about it -- but we thought we'd start up something for Annalise as a simple way to show off some of the modern clothing we acquire here at The DW. (That is The Doll Wardrobe -- not Disney World. We refer to Disney World as WDW, for Walt Disney World. Haha.)

Annalise is a great model for modern clothing and she deserves more face-time on zee blog. She also loves riddles -- which kind of gets annoying when she keeps asking us here in Badger's Wood these riddles all the time..... I mean.... Yeah, so she will be asking a riddle in each of her posts.

Hence: Annalise's Riddle Me This!

If you know where "Riddle Me This" is from, you get a special virtual cookie. ;-)

Today Annalise is wearing a Sorrento-esque "By the Boardwalk" Liberty Jane tank top from their separates collection and their floral capri pants from the 2012 "Founder's Day" outfit. Her white sandals and wooden bead necklace also come from that outfit.

You can get the pattern for the pants here: http://www.libertyjanepatterns.com/2012/05/capri-pants-and-shorts-bundle.html There is also a very cute shorts variation. We love the detailing and fit of these pants, not to mention the awesome fabric!
