Susie #6 models the one of a kind Butterfly Dress made for Blythe. The bodice is made from a vintage handkerchief; I used the embroidered corner as an overlay. The dress has since been shipped to it's new dolly!
Note: not all Blythe clothing will fit Susie. She is thicker in the waist, and shorter in the body.

Susie #5 can't keep her hands off Susie #6's hair... I don't blame her; the mohair is incredibly soft to the touch.
Meet Apple Annie
Susie #6 gets new hairs because she arrived with such matted fried hair that it refused to clean up... besides, I was anxious to do a reroot on a Susie! I used a natural undyed mohair in a smoky brown color. It shades from light to darker at the tips. She wears an apple appliqued dress with striped tights. Annie is available on my etsy site: ssmartraggs.etsy.com

Great blog! I have 2 Susie clone heads. They come from those 7 3/4" Dress Me dolls with the cheap hard plastic bodies. I want to put them on Penny Brite bodies. Have you ever done this and can you give me any tips?
