paper dresses

For this swap, you will have 3 partners that you will send paper dresses to. Please make your dress at least 6 inches long. And embellish it with whatever you fancy.

This swap will be international since they should fit in an 6x9 envelope.

Must have at least a 4.8 to participate, but message me if you have understandable circumstances that have lowered your ratings.

Please message me if you have any questions.

Hi! Great Idea, I was wondering is there a template for the dresses.

LaLaLove 01/25/2008 #

I do have a template in a magazine...someplace. Let me look for it and when I find it, I'll scan it and email it to you by the end of the weekend, okay?

TraySeeH 01/25/2008 #

I would like the template too please.

bluegrassgirl 01/25/2008 #

yes...I'm interested, as well. But need the template. Thanks

This looks like a fun idea. Since I was flaked on the Art Doll Swap and the Chain Doll Swap I was wondering if you are going to angel this. Is this one dress to each person?

LaLaLove 01/25/2008 #

Yes, one dress to each person, so you'll have to make 3 dresses total. I will angel this swap if someone doesn't send...but we've got a great group so far!

LaLaLove 01/25/2008 #

I will send the templete to everyone that requests it, but you do not have to use a templete for this swap. You can make whatever kind of little paper dress you want to :)

earthtobella 01/25/2008 #

I love this idea, so excited to start creating. May I also have the template to get an idea how to begin? Thanks!

serendipity 01/26/2008 #

can I have the template too, pretty please.

weyrmistress 01/26/2008 #

I, too, would like to have a copy of the template. Cocoa, sorry to hear that you got flaked on the chain doll swap.

magasary 01/28/2008 #

hey! mabye this is a realy stupid question but can we make the paper dresses also from velt? because i saw pictures on the flicker site of paper dresses of velt.

LaLaLove 01/28/2008 #

I've seen those pictures, too, and they're really nice. I'm not sure if I can say yes to that now since so many people have signed up thinking this was a "paper" dress swap. Maybe when partners are assigned, you could message your partners and see if they would mind. I know I would love any dress, but maybe some people really are hoping for paper.

magasary 01/29/2008 #

i'll message my partners when assigned, i've got a book with the most cute velt paper doll dresses so i thought mabye te time te make them :) thanks for the awnser!

glendas 02/ 2/2008 #

MsCraftALot 02/ 6/2008 #

Thanks for the template. I've tweeked the template a bit so that every dress is a different design of dress :)

calex 02/12/2008 #

Can you email the pattern please.

sweethappychick 02/13/2008 #

Questime Time: Do we stick our dresses on to a hard backing and sign out name like we would on ATC? Or do we leave it blank at the back?

glaucia 02/14/2008 #

I´m sorry for dropping the swap today, but I´m overwhelmed with work and I had to do this. Have a nice swap, full of beautiful dresses :)

LaLaLove 02/14/2008 #

Good question Sweethappychick, I hadn't really thought about it...I'm going to decorate both sides of mine, so I won't be signing them like an ATC, but I guess you could...it's really up to you.

sweethappychick 02/14/2008 #

Thanks for answeing my question LaLaLove just put some cardstock behind mine make sure they dont bend in the post

alybr 02/16/2008 #
