I have a lot to say about this plushie so where to begin? Even though I’ve made 2 lifesize anthro plushies so far, this was my first anthro commission. I’m very proud of this one, I gave it my all and am really satisfied with the outcome, and my commissioner seems to really love her too! :D Because this Dashie has multiple outfits and accessories, I decided to split up the pictures into two separate posts, one wearing her kimono dress which you can click the link at the top to check out, and then the rest of the pictures here.

Other than her kimono, the extra accessories for Dash includes:
A set of socks, which me and my commissioner decided to try out a wonderbolt theme with the blue and yellow colors, and also I was requested to make the socks as long as I could, so the leg socks are thigh highs and the arm socks go all the way up to the armpits. They have invisible zippers sewn onto the backs of them, so they fit snugly and are easily removable.
One of the last minute accessories we decided on was some sort of microbikini, which again we went with the same colors as the socks, for a full wonderbolts style outfit. Maybe she’s more aerodynamic this way? ;p That’s also made out of minky and it has one single tieing point around the back of the neck.
And then she has some smaller ones which you can see, two element of harmony necklaces, which are interesting in that the embroidered design on them is with only one color, which are handpicked to be some of the most fluorescent threads I have, which means they glow very intensely under a blacklight (as per requested). It’s cool to see!
Lastly she’s got two minky chokers (white and pink), and a pair of custom made and fitted panties which didn’t make it into any of these pictures. All of the above mentioned accessories are removable of course.

One more unique bit about this Dash is her ponytail mane style. It was the first time I’ve tried to make one of these, and it did take a bit of trial and error but it looks and works good. It has an internal structure in the ponytail that allows it to stand up on its own, and you can bend it over the shoulder, while still being soft to the touch. I also made it a serious point to sew the ponytail on securely so that it will never rip off, it’s sewn directly into the back of the mane instead of being hand sewn on.
