I could not wait. So I started making a vintage swimsuit for The Doll which has yet to arrive.
This is a Hello Dolly Boutique pattern. It is an OK pattern. I have a feeling that, although it was drafted for a 22" American Model, it would be too big for that doll w/out altering, and therefore way too big for my Impldoll Model. We shall see.
I also worked a bit on a Perfect Pattern pattern. A much better potential fit than the HDB pattern.
None of these will be finished until The Doll arrives. The HDB because I suspect it might be oversized, and the PP because I suspect it will be sexy-snug if not outright tight.
