The new and improved Summer :-)

Hi guys! So a few days ago I gave one of my barbie dolls a bit of a makeover :D 

So Summer is a barbie doll that I bought from my local Kmart a few weeks ago. She doesn't have that much articulation, only in her hips and shoulders. So after I bought her she kind of just sat on my shelf collecting dust because I found she wasn't that unique and just bland. So this weekend a decided  to give Summer a makeover! 

Naturally Summer has slightly wavy hair. I really wanted to attempt a new curling technique to create a fluffy curly bob look :-) 

It worked and I LOVE IT!!! I like it how I didn't have worry about making the curls looks perfect or nice but I let them become unruly and fly everywhere!!

Excuse the weird headband, I'm in the process of sorting it out >.<

I really like Summer's new hair and look, I think I'm gonna change her name. From now on she'll be Claire :) Just incase I get another Summer and decide not to customise her :)

Here's a look at her whole outfit, my sewing skills aren't the best but I wanted to create another dress for my barbie dolls because they are in desperate need for more clothes!! It's crazy! And I think Claire looks fab in this yellow :0

So I hope you enjoyed my little customising journey :) A question, would u guys like me to show you how I curled her hair and teach you guys some different curling techniques? Because I have experimented with a few and have gotten some cool results! Only if you guys would like it =)
Have a great day lovelies

    Summer's new hair has so much more personality.
    Did you make the shirt in the first picture too? 'Cause it is super cute.

    She looks unique and outstandingly beautiful with that hair . I love it on repeat . Don't worry your sewing skills are a hundred percent better than mine . I can even sew straight !

    I also have been working on fixing up my old Barbies , so I would love that tutorial !
