Yulia, a repainted 18" Gotz Sissel Skille doll with custom dress

Post by Dariasdolls »

Hi All,

I repainted, re-wigged (now a hand knotted human hair wig) and re-eyed (antique German glass eyes) an 18" Gotz Sissel Skille doll, and I made her a custom handmade outfit in the style of a Ukranian national costume. I have never really made a full doll outfit before so this was a first but I think I am hooked! You can find more pictures on My Website

Beautiful job. I am Ukrainian and can appreciate all the work involved in that costume. When I was a little girl, my mom made my sister and I dolls dressed in traditional attire. She embroidered everything by hand. She also made traditional Ukrainian costumes for my siblings and I as we all participated in a Ukrainian dance group.
Hugs,
Nadia

Both my parents were born in the Ukraine. All of my siblings and I speak fluent Ukrainian.

She is absolutely beautiful! And her costume is amazing! We have a lot of Ukrainians here in Saskatchewan. My nephew’s wife’s family is Ukrainian. :)
Hugs Annette
