It's time I finally introduce my Halloween costume from 2022. For the last few years, I've enjoyed making doll-themed outfits and costumes, and this is the first one that really got the ball rolling for me. I based this look off of a 2006 Licca doll that was released in collaboration with Mister Donut (a popular donut chain in Japan). The doll is very 60-70's-inspired, my favorite fashion era, so I had a blast putting this costume together. I'll ramble about Licca and Mister Donut a lot here, and of course I'll talk about the patterns and materials I used.
This post is going to be a bit long, but I hope it will be coherent and interesting to those of you interested in dolls or Japan!
