I'm incredibly lucky. The new body matches her head in tone almost perfectly. It looks even better than the original body.
So there is nothing I have to do to make it fit.

So far I can't decide whether to add her tatoos or not. Of course to be a real Nareen she needs her tatoos. To do that I'd have to sandpaper her whole body though and then rub the new colour in and reseal her with varnish. I don't know if this will change her basic skintone (possibly creating stains on parts where I can't reach with sandpaper because I can't find a way to disassemble this body), and I also don't know how the soft body will react to varnish.

Okay, the body "only" cost 25 Euro and ordering a new one in case this one gets ruined is easy because I can get it from a German shop. It would still be sad though.

Maybe I'll try with her legs and if it doesn't work out nicely I'll just put her in a pantyhose like she wore during the tournament.

Here's a full-body shot of her face front on the new body. With the help of my husband I got the neck part exchanged. Now all I need is some small rubber bands to steady the head because it wobbles.

Now that I have the body I can go looking for the right fabrics for Nareen's clothes in my big box of stuff!

By now I have also sanded down her scalp and the other parts of her head where there was old glue, and I used a handdrill to make her a second hole for earrings. (She only had a hole in one ear, probably a design decision for her original outfit.)

There was nothing decent in my box of fabrics, so a quick trip to the fabrics store was in order.  
Although I love cheap silk imitates I decided on equally cheap plisse velvet for Nareen's clothes. I also chose to use black instead of purple because that's how I draw it on the b/w pages.

First off I make her arm warmers. For these I cut two 4x9cm rectangles from the violet fabric. The lower part gets seamed first, then the sides are sewn together. Before I seam the upper part I put some elastic cord around the sleeve and put it on the doll. Fasten the whole thing with a knot, cut off the ends of the elastics and secure the knot with a drop of superglue.

Here you see one finished and reversed arm warmer and the second which is in work.
One note about the patterns: Once I can write a halfway decent tutorial for it the sewing pattern will be shared on this website, of course.

Keep in mind though that you will have to adapt them for your needs. An Obitsu small bust body has different measures than a Pullip, a type 1 or 2 Pullip has different measures than a type 3 and if you want to use a Barbie, Blythe, Momoko, Hujoo, Bratz or whatever doll as a base for your own Nareen you'll face a different body type too.
Sadly I don't have many pictures on how I make clothes, as I often make wild tests until I find a pattern that works. So in many cases there will just be the pattern and some explanations on how I assembled the parts.

(Note from 2013: Since the plisse velvet widened a lot and probably did so right from the start there still is no sewing pattern. Nareen will probably get a completely new version of her clothes made from other fabric soon and I'll do my best to this time make a decent sewing pattern instead of trial and error.)

I feel sorry for Nareen for being photographed almost naked, so I quickly make her some undies. I don't put that much care into this as I don't want to take shots of her later wearing this. It will be practical for any pictures on which she sits and people can peek under her skirt.
Her undie has the basic shape of a diaper and I quickly seam it, then draw some cord through both sides.

On this picture you see her completed bolero jacket too. This is actually starting to look like Nareen!  :D
I'm sorry that there's no work-in-progress shot, those pictures were too dark AND blurred because I made it in the late evening with artificial light.

I will add two press studs to the inside of the jacket's back.
In the comic the jacket has a hood attached, so of course I'd like to add it here too. A Pullip has an enormous head though, so the hood must be very large to fit. Quite possibly that will look stupid, just as stupid as a fake hood that doesn't fit because it's too small.
So I will make it as a single part that can be attached to the hidden press studs.

As a next step I will remove all clothes to colourfasten them. Pullips are made of a plastic that easily gets stains from dark or very strong colours. I don't know if it's the same for Obitsu but I don't want to take the risk. I know anyway that the soft torso is very prone to staining. So the clothes will get a bath in a water/salt/vinegar mixture to lessen the danger.

While those dry I'll start with the first test patterns for the actual dress.

This Saturday Nareen's eyes arrived. (Only 6 days from Taiwan to Germany, wow!)
The small picture shows the eyes in their original package while on the large pic one of them is already inserted into the eye mechanic. I swear I took inbetween photos but none can be used. Darn rainy weather.

So here's the details in word with no pic:
Eye chips are made from polished plastic. They have a ring of laser paper on the backside which can be replaced by anything you like, e.g. wrapping paper or gold foil. The original silver paper shines like a rainbow and I kept it because it makes Nareen's eyes shine without giving them a wrong tint. The chips have no pupil, just a clear spot in the middle. With acrylic paints I first painted the white spots (from the backside) and then painted black over them.
So far the chips sit nicely in her eyes. Should they become loose when assembling the head I'll fixate them with a bit of white glue.
