This is Marikit Reyes!

She is meant to be a fanmade Filipino historical character for American Girl. Please read more if you're interested 💕

This photo is my main inspiration

I definitely would have made her collection inspired by the Pleasant Company kind of style, with lots of detail and connections to her overall story.

I made the lace part of her top (from trim from a fabric store) but the rest is from sellers on etsy and ebay. Send me an ask or dm if you'd like the links to them!

The doll is not in perfect condition because she came from goodwill and I wanted to fix her up. I initially thought she was a Josefina with cut hair, but I didn't know much about the different face molds. Now she has a different wig, which is actually a slightly damaged Josefina wig, but it's longer which I like.

If she had a story, her era would be 1930s, when Filipino people first started immigrating to the states, and her intro would be of her journey to America, like Kirsten.

This doll was made with this culture for a very personal reason. Last year, a close friend of mine online passed away in a car accident. They were Filipino American. And although I'm pretty sure they wouldn't care that much for American Girl one way or the other, I think it's a group that isn't represented often.

Please let me know what you think and if you have any ideas for me to do for her in the future!! I would especially love to hear from actual Filipinos or Filipino americans from agblr but any feedback would be great

I plan to get her some other finishing touches when I have the ability (a fan, a necklace, earrings, tights) and other outfits down the line

Stay tuned because in March, I'm getting Claudie !!

My most recent make is this ancient Minoan ensemble! It consists of a tunic (heanos) worn under a flounced wraparound skirt shaped like a double-bladed axe (labrys). Despite how heavy the linen skirt is, the entire outfit is surprisingly easy to move around in. I even waded into the river to rescue a bee!
