Kilted Challenge
to premise this, there is a gentleman at my office that does these absolutely amazing lifelike dolls of people. They stand about 3 feet tall, and are posed with soft bodies, and hand sculpted head, hands, and feet. He does the tiniest of details in superb quality. A boy scout in uniform made from cloth of actual uniforms, wire frame glasses, tiny bells on an elf outfit, molded football helmet for a player, etc, etc. He sells these for upwards of $2K each.
As a gift to me, and a promotional thing for him, he's wanting me as his next subject. The doll will be dressed as me on my wedding day. PC Jacket, fly plaid, kilt, sporran, ghillies, hose, sword, etc.
Here's the challenge.
Of course the doll will be kilted. In MacKenzie tartan of course. But since this is basically a scale model of myself, he wants MacKenzie tartan scaled down as well. I was thinking a baby/toddlers kilt would suit this well, but scaling the tartan is a problem. So how would I go about getting a scaled down tartan?
And is there a kilt maker out there who could help me. the waist of the doll is like 16" and the height of the kilt would be like 8" at most. I'm getting actual dimensions from him to get a proper fit, but from my guess this is like a one yard to 1.5 yard kilt if that. PV material as the wool is too thick in scale.
Any suggestions, direction, etc. would be great. Of course posting pictures afterwards goes without saying.
