French Fashion Bru





This lady is about 18" tall and has painted eyes. I made her back in 1982 when I was making porcelain dolls. Fashion ladies were and still are my favorites. I don't think she was ever dressed. And now I have taken the time to make her a gown befitting her style. These are her under clothes {chemise, corset, drawers and petticoat}. I have drawn the patterns for all of these as well as for her gown.
She also got a new wig which looks so much better on her and shows off her features much better. Her body is a simple cloth body, that I re-stuffed because of settling stuffing. The elastic holding her head in place was also stretched out and had to be replaced. Now, for her new gown.
