Arranbee 14" Doll: "Elise"

This is the fifth of five trunk sets created for my 14" hard plastic Arranbee Nancy Lee/Nannette dolls.  This one is named "Elise."  She has the "suntan" skin color.  Her brunette wig that I gave her is long, straight, and thick; it is made of human hair.

In this first photo, Elise is wearing a yellow cotton dress that I made for her, with a white pinafore and a full white petticoat.

Here is another day dress.  I made this from a tiny floral cotton print.  It has a wide white collar and three tiny buttons in the front. (Buttons are just for decoration; the dress actually has snaps in front.)

This photo shows her pretty hair.  I made this long-sleeved nightgown from a fine lightweight barely-pink cotton. 

Here you can see the ribbon embroidery I did on the bodice as decoration. A tiny ribbon trims the hem.

This is a strapless pink cotton gown I made for Elise, shown with a lace stole.

Over the pink long gown, she can wear a white overskirt and a white bodice.  The pink shows through.  All the pieces are lace-trimmed.

For a "Southern Belle" effect, She can wear a white hat with the outfit.

Her long dark hair allows her to look "right" for more exotic outfits.  I made this Plains Indian dress from a soft chamois cloth and decorated it with beading and fringe.  I made matching moccasins, belt, and headband.

Elise looks lovely in this Japanese kimono with obi.  This was made by a very talented eBay seamstress (sorry, I do not remember her name), who used beautiful smallscale silk fabrics.  Everything is lined and well-made.

I made this medieval-style gown from purple velvet and gold lame, with sleeves from purple chiffon. Gold braid is used to trim the dress and to make a matching headband.

Here is Elise with all her outfits in the purple trunk (purchased from Heavenly Treasures).
