Dottie Dearest

Design notes

• dottie is a method actor. as such, she likes to go about in full costume! even if it gets her kicked out of grocery stores.
• her dress is two pieces - a white, puffy-sleeved blouse with a pink collar and pom-pom adornments, and a three-tiered ruffled tutu skirt with frilly overall straps. the straps cross in the back, and have clips pinned to them in the shape of a heart, a star, and a flower (which sprays water).
• she wears mis-matched stockings that have been torn to absolute shreds, ratty yellowed bandages around the forearms, and spiky black combat boots. all of her clothes can be drawn smeared with dirt and (questionably real) blood, but also without. depends on the mood tbh - it does wash the costume, but inevitably at the end of every shift it ends up covered in all sorts of haunted house residue.
• her skin is brown, and is visible on her arms, legs, and neck. her face is caked in heavy amounts of makeup - mostly smeared clownish greasepaint, pink and blue eyeshadow, black lipstick, and prosthetic scars in the shape of claw marks. its teeth are sharp, and its mascara is outlandishly thick and spiky. she also wears costume contacts which give her yellow sclera and mismatched orange irises. the right eye is a thin pinprick, and the left is large and wobbly with a spiral-shaped pupil.
• its pigtails are ratty, tangled and enormous, tied with pom-pom ribbons. none of its real hair shows from underneath the wig.
