modernwizardAbout three months ago, I registered my disappointment with Soom Labas, a Faery Legend with [supposedly] a fiery theme. I said, "A good customizer with a vision [like me, if I cared to get him] could really improve this doll, but I'm not interested enough in such a bland headsculpt to pursue this project."
Well, the concept percolated in the back of my mind, as did the idea that Mellifer needed a makeover with a brighter palette. When Mellifer's hair arrived, along with some eyeballs slated for Ginevra, Mellifer spoke up. He informed me that he was the fire fairy that Labas should have been; furthermore, he was ditching his yellow eyes in favor of the reddish orange glitter ones. He said that Ginevra could have the golden eyes. He also asked for bright red clothes.
Annoyingly enough, I spent all that extra money on a default faceup [$30.00], body blushing [$50.00], wig [$20.00] and eyes [$8.00], as well as a Biweekly Clothes outfit [$57.00], and he's having none of it. He must be getting his demandypants from Jareth....
To add to my irritation, I suspect that Mellifer will end up with a cheap and simple outfit like Flower's, which is a floor-length skirt made out of a raw length of fabric held in place with a safety pin. Something like this Biweekly Clothes outfit for Mini Gem girls would be great in layers of orange and yellow, if I could figure out what it was made out of.

2. Sheer pantyhose stretchy material
The second option would be a good, cheap, easy to recreate alternative. Not sure about the right colors, but grabbing cheap "trouser socks" from the pantyhose section of a store is a great way to get small amounts of that material. Usually, each capsule (holding one pair) will be something like $0.50 to $1 each, maybe less. (I haven't been to a store in awhile.)
