Brenda relaxing on her comfy chaise lounge (a Wal-Mart steal!) which is not only gorgeous, but also stores her extra clothes:
Now, I know redheads aren't supposed to wear pink, but she looks so good, doesn't she?
Here is Brenda with her hair down, being casually patriotic:

The black top and jean skirt are not new, but the silver top and plum skirt are. So is the model for the silver top, Ella! She is my new
Seventeen doll and Brenda's best friend, and she has her own page here. She and Brenda can wear most of the same clothes.
I had a sweater that was a bit too small in the sleeves. They were just too short to be long sleeves, and just too long to be 3/4 sleeves.
So I shortened them, and used the scraps to make a couple doll outfits! Brenda got a new top and Tiny Kitty got a dress and socks.
Actually, the socks fit Brenda, too! And now Brenda and I match:

"You're wearing my socks."
"Just don't stretch them out, ok?"
They look cute on Tiny Kitty... ...And on Brenda.
Same hair color and
everything!
everything!
More Brenda jewelry!

8-25-07: I modified McCalls M4860 for this dress.
I bought the adorable lip balm at the Ben & Jerry's
factory that we visited on my family vacation this
summer! It is the perfect size for Brenda:

original hairstyle, before I took it down and straightened it.
So these are old, but new.

I made this dress a while ago but kept
forgetting to get a picture up. I made up my
own pattern for it, and it's fun to accessorize.
The purple belt can be shared with Tiny Kitty,
and the necklace is made out of staples.

The necklace and earrings were made
by me, but the bracelets are actually
toe rings I got for Christmas!

I made up my own pattern for
both the dress and the coat. Well,
I guess it's more of a wrap, since
there are no sleeves...

7-30-08: I finally got around to taking some pictures of just Brenda in her Christmas outfit from the group pic above. I also made
her a new black denim skirt and ribbed top. I played with outdoor lighting a bit in the pictures:
