Here is what this doll looked like when I first bought her from the thrift store. She looked like she could barely fit her dress at the top due to another pink outfit that was under the dress (but you can see it peeking through the top).	Here is a back view of the doll as she originally looked.	The first thing I did was remove her white dress. I discovered that she had a pink bikini on underneath. I removed the bikini before putting the dress back on her.
It was a cute swimsuit but it wasn't appropriate for what I had in mind for this doll.	Here is the doll after her makeover. She fits a lot better in her dress without the bikini bulking it up underneath.

Fairy ears were made out of air-drying clay before being attached to the doll's head.	The ears were painted in flesh color once the clay dried.
