Actually, I do not like Colin's outfit at all. It is hard for me to appreciate the style because for such an expensive outfit I like to have details that show true skill (i.e. beautifully fitted garments, tailoring, etc). The best part is the built in corselette which laces in the back. I think it they should have done an empire waisted bodice but fitted with princess seams instead of just using a strip of fabric with a bow around it. I plan on making her a suit but I have been very busy working on 11.5" fashion doll clothing lately (in addition to everything else). You all will be seeing a few of my doll designs very soon and I have plans for a lot more too!
