Doll Maker's Diary, Part 25: Cover Girl Duets

Doll Maker's Diary, Part 25: Cover Girl Duets

So far, many of the dress-up games I have tried have some sort of fantasy theme. However, there are quite a few of these games which are focused firmly on modern fashions. The Cover Girl Dress Up Game is among them. Uniquely, it allows you to create outfits for exactly at once: an elegant one on the left and a more casual one on the right. Here are two examples.

Above: Two examples of sketches made in the Cover Girl Dress Up Game. In this particular game, the doll on the left always has a more mature and elegant look, in contrast to the carefree, relaxed style of the second doll, and the list of items available for them differs accordingly.

As expected, the items available for the first doll tend to be more conservative and formal, while those for the second doll are more whimsical and flamboyant by comparison. But as always, with either doll, the possibilities for outfits are virtually endless. And there is very little for me to complain about, although I would suggest more color choices for the items, additional background patterns (a horizontal gradient is the only one available) and the ability to swap the dolls' positions around.

When you compare the two item sets available to your, it soon becomes apparent that the one for the doll on the left lends itself well to a mature, tomboyish look, and the other item set (for the doll on the right) exudes a more youthful and feminine flair. Best of all, however, the game allows you to do both at once, as shown below.

Thus ends my summary of the Cover Girl Dress Up Game. Stay tuned for the next entry in this series.
