Clara’s 2014 School Clothes

Clara’s clothes are some pretty simple outfits for school. A couple of t-shirts, with shorts, and jeans. Clara’s fashion page for this week is a departure from some of the more historical clothing seen previously. However, the colors and decorations used on the T-shirts create the individual style of the wearer. Flower patterns, extra buttons, lace, solid colors, tie-die, stripes... there are so many ways to decorate a T-shirt. Two styles of pants are also represented by the jeans and the rolled-cuff shorts that were popular in 2014.

Coloring in white

This week's fashion page featured a white dress. Although I hope you color the dresses in whatever colors you like, sometimes it interesting to try to match the original. So how do you color a white dress? Well, you use several shades of gray to define the shadows on curves and folds.

If you are interested, Liana's Paper Dolls has a great tutorial on coloring an outfit to look white. Liana also posts some fun paper dolls, and is one of the nicer paper doll blogs on the web.
