The lovely lady you see here is Alexia Tarabotti, heroine of the novel Soulless, in bookstores October 2009! Its a really fun paranormal/steampunk novel taking place in Victorian England, full of virile werewolves, dandified vampires, mystery, romance, gadgets, tea, hats, and parasol guns. Whats not to love?
I had a blast not only reading it, but working on the doll. Undergarments, clothing, accessories, and hair are accurate to 1873. Every dress is from the book, and without giving too much away, a few of the accessories play key roles! Read the book to find out more! Seriously! One character made me squeal out loud he was so freaky!

Hi! I know this is like, three years old, but do you still have references for the hairstyles and clothing? I would love to see where the inspiration came from, particularly in the area of hair, and so I could have a reference to try my hand at styling my own hair in such a way. Thanks so much!
Hey there, I know this is really late, but to give you an idea, one of the books I used was "Victorian Fashions and Costumes from Harper's Bazar 1867-1898" - from Dover Publications. I hope that helps!
DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. NOW THAT YOU'VE STARTED READING, DONT STOP. THIS IS SO FREAKY. 1 say your name 10 times 2. say your mum's name 5 times and your crushes name 3 times 4. paste this onto 4 other games. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday possible. But if you read this and do not paste this, you will get bad luck. SEND THIS ON 5 DIFFERENT GAMES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOUR DONE, PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO FREAKY IT ACTUALLY WORKS
lol the word soulless put with this made me remember something my mom used to say. "That girl's a prostitute, see her eyes? Their soulles." and originally I would have asked, "Soulless?" "Yes, soulless because prostitutes have no souls" haha made my day
