Meet Victoria the New Paper Doll

Good Morning and welcome to my studio! 
For the New Look Victoria (more mature, 5 different hair colors to choose from and with better outfits) version of this doll, please click on the following link HERE. Please also respect my time and effort along with my copyrights. Thank you.
We have finally begun a process towards providing a series of outfits for this, our newest gift for kids--and the kid in all of you adult crafters out there.  :)
Meet Victoria Lacey. 
Her wardrobe may grow over the coming months to where we may call her a bit of a clothes horse, and it may include clothes from various late Victorian fashion trends. From hats to walking suits, to ball gowns, you can expect to find her attired for almost every occasion. 
Her second outfit should be posted shortly. For that, I had to literally take apart and resize and alter digitally nearly every portion before it would finally fit our doll. But the final result has convinced me it would be well worth the effort to keep trying for all the visitors here at PPS to provide her with every outfit possible, including costumery for times of the year such as holidays.
I do hope you'll share her with your children, bearing in mind, of course, how dolls may tear easily and ought better to be backed with some stiffener such as good quality card before playtime can occur.
All outfits will come tabbed, their hats with special gear which should allow for greater ease of use. (Please tip me off if there are glitches to any of this gadgetry, won't you?)
For more fun with the PPS collection of  Paper Doll Sets, you may go HERE.
Anyway, I do hope you and yours may enjoy our newest paper doll set for years to come using your--
Happy Creativity!
Rose

P.S. For Victoria's story, in its first edition, available now ONLY till May 22nd, 2012, you can click on the appropriate Download link in either her Dressing Gown or Visiting Ensemble post.


NOTE:
This paper doll has been "remodeled" by us for your use. It therefore cannot be re-packaged for sale, even if you re-modify it still further (unless you ask for our permission to do so and we happen to grant it freely).
All of this paper doll's outfits have had to be manipulated heavily using Photoshop, in order to ensure proper fit and pretty enough color. This has not always been easy. The doll's arms and body do not conform to the average fashion plates from her era. Lots of work went into each outfit. Some have turned out better than others, but we were glad to provide her along with her outfits here at Plush Possum.
Therefore, we respectfully ask that our version of this doll, along with her outfits and accoutrements, never be re-packaged by anybody for sale or offered as a set without directly referring your guests back to the site of origin.
We respect the copyrights of others, and ask that you will join us in every effort to do so.
Thank you.

    Her next outfit is from a different year, a slightly different styling, but it's fresh and different from this one. Hope you'll like it too!

  22. Hello Julz!
    So glad you are here! ANd that you'll find a way to join us this weekend for that new launch of STeam Tea Travels.
    Blogger may have been at fault. Please don't blame yourself. They keep goofing up here lately, with all their changes and whatnot.
    Here just recently, they reordered all PPS's posts until we had last years jumbled in with this year's in a most confusing manner! We tried for two hours to figure out how to change it back, and then, quite suddenly, it all went back to normal. Go figure!
    ;)
