For those wondering how Chun made the Mirai Dollfie outfit thats been getting a lot of attention from japanese Dollfie blog owners - check out her post.

Original text from chun below.

Broggu entry is live! ^^/ I hope the entry answered some questions about how the outfit came about :3 The entry has some photo documentation of mostly the blouse, as it is the more complicated of all the pieces ^^;/

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

That's really cool, you should set up a business to create custom clothing for dollfies xD

  The Mirai outfit Danny ordered is an L-bust, I have a M-bust body on my Yukino, with an L-bust part which I swapped out so that I can do accurate fitting of the uniform :)
  
  I do not know how to make the outfits by just measurements unfortunately ^^; the room for making mistakes is bigger without the actual doll... I usually can only make the outfits for people who have dolls with the same type/size bodies as my own dolls ^^/
  
  Hope this answered your question! ^^

Still amazed by the level of detail on where the seams are, the slight v in the cuffs, the proportion of the logo in relation to the clothes... You must have iron concentration to do that kind of work.

If we talk about fans of front ladies' front busts, I am at the front of the queue. But I actually like it better with the tanktop (opposed to those previous pictures by Danny's of a pair of tropical fruits about to pop out).

With school uniforms, I feel less guilty if the balance is more on the cute side than on the torrid one.

Sugoi! I can tell that a lot of work went into the making of Mirai seifuku. Good job writing the photographic documentation too.

Btw, is the back of the seifuku supposed to look like that (officially)? I had to use my imagination when I was modeling her blouse.
