Dress a Doll Kelly

 

Sometimes I totally forget I made a thing or if I shared it or not. I designed this base inspired by Mattel Barbie's little sister Kelly (also sometimes called Shelly or Shelley?) the base comes in two variations one with undies for those who do not care for doll nudity and one without. There doll is bald so that one can design hair for it. I designed this in 2020 using Adobe Illustrator and I think I may have posted on Facebook. But seems I never uploaded it to the blog. Anyway, feel free to print it out and design outfits.
