Blues time

This simple blue dress has a square neckline, cap sleeves and a panel front skirt, with 5 gores. A belt around the middle and a pair of tie slippers finishes it.

Simple but elegant.

Something new.

Marie Teresa now has a new dress, and the time it took to make the scallops was significant. However as a replicate of a gown in the book "The Trousseau Of Blondinette Davranche" {as are most of the gowns produced by Alice Leverett and the Vogue doll co. for this doll} it comes very close even in the fabric design. I also made slippers to match and am working on the little red snood. Always something new to create and play with. Enjoy!

She finally got her dress!

Sometimes I don't get to a doll as fast as I might like, so she has to wait for something to wear. This dress is made up from a Jackie Chimpky pattern. Now she has a dress she won't be satisfied, but at least she has something to wear while she waits for the next one.

This doll is also created by Jackie. Isn't she pretty?

And she said Nightgown Please!

Well she got a bit more then just the nightgown. She also got a robe and nightcap. However somehow I don't think it will end there.
This little doll has been a lot of fun dressing, and I hope to create more for her in the future. But for now I think she wants to sleep.

It's Purple and Gold!

Royal colors for a beautiful girl. Aeianna looks wonderful in this french fashion inspired gown. She also has a new full set of underwear to go with this style gown. The bodice, sleeves, and underskirt are all one piece. The jacket has one closure at the front. The overskirt is separate and can be worn with the dress or without.
I'm glad I finally got this finished. So is she {although she did mention something about a nightgown and robe..... are they every satisfied?} The beaded trimmings were a long strip.

The sleigh ride gown

  I didn't get any really good pictures until yesterday when I took the sleigh and horses and Arianna outside to take the pictures in the snow. It is really beginning to melt down out there and yesterday was the first sunny day for some while. So here are pictures of that gown for my 22" BJD. Her first creation, and I'm working on finishing up on the second one now. I'll post it s soon as I can get finished.
  So how does she look?

On this last picture the horses and the sleigh sank down into the snow, and for some reason Aeianna didn't. So she seems really tall next to them. At least you can see the gown better than in a pile of clothes.

A new dress

This porcelain doll I made back in the 80's when I was doing reproduction dolls. I had dressed her in gold brocade and red velvet, but after 20 years of dust etc I tried to clean the dress and bonnet,to no avail. It was unusable, as were the dresses for three other dolls. So in time I did redress one of the French Fashion dolls. This little girl was still without, and it was time to do something about it. So choosing a peachy pink brocade and a satin to match I also chose a new dress design.
  At long last she has new underwear, of drawers and slip and the dress of satin. The jacket and bonnet are of the brocade, with hand made trimmings. This whole outfit took me a couple of weeks to complete, but doesn't she look beautiful. I love the way it all turned out, even with the hours of hand work to make the trimmings.

One more to dress, and then I have to replace a broken head before I can finish the other one. I think it pays to take ones time.
