Hot (Pink!) Commodity

Posted on

Now For Sale on Ebay!

As you might have guessed, I have been busy sewing lately and having such a great time!  The combination of hot pink, black and white is a classic and one of my favorite color stories.

This fashion was inspired by my favorite new Monogram and her striking coloring.  The swing coat is made of a hot pink silk faille and is lined with a whimsical cotton print in white, pink and black.  Underneath the coat is a sleeveless sheath in the same fashionable cotton print with a black and white checked silk bow detail.  A black and white checked silk bow hat finishes off this ultra fashionable ensemble.

This fashion will fit Monograms, Silkstones, FR2, Poppy Parker and Nu Face dolls.

A Visit to the Musée de Cluny

Posted on

Now for Sale on Ebay!

Madmoiselle Victoire Roux is  planning to visit the Musée National du Moyen Âge in Paris today.  Always conscious of how she is dressed for every occasion, Victoire has chosen to wear a dress made from Liberty of London Tana Lawn in a print that is reminiscent of perhaps the most famous pieces of art in the museum’s collection; the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries.

Victoire’s full skirted day dress has a tulle underskirt in deep orange and red, and a sash in olive green silk taffeta.  Victoire tops her ensemble with a dark red capelet in silk noil, fully lined in the “tapestry” cotton lawn.  A jaunty beret in the same silk noil adds the final touch, trimmed with vintage velvet flowers and an olive green taffeta bow.


Bien sûr, this fashion was designed with Victoire as the inspiration, but it will also fit Silkstone Barbie, Poppy Parker, Monograms and Nu Face dolls.

This fashion includes the dress, capelet and hat.  It does not include the doll, stand, shoes or background.

Lavande: a new fashion for Silkstones, Monograms and Poppy Parker

Posted on

Now available on Ebay!

I have had this stunning purple silk brocade for a few months now and have been dreaming of what I would do with it when I was finally able to get to it.  Well, today was the day.  I decided that I would make a classic swing coat with a nehru collar and three quarter length sleeves.  The coat is fully lined in a dark lavender silk and has glass buttons.  The sheath dress has a sleeveless top in lavender silk and a slim skirt in the brocade.  A silver buckle decorates the waist.  An oversized bow hat finishes the look.  This fashion fits Silkstones and Monograms.  It will also fit Nu Face and Poppy.

 

My Latest Obsession

Posted on

I am so in love with the newest Monogram from Integrity Toys.  This beauty was the centerpiece doll from the last night and, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful dolls in the entire convention collection.  Here she is modeling a fashion that perfectly complements her complexion.  The sheath dress has a black silk top and a bright pink hounds tooth silk brocade skirt.  A bright pink vintage crystal brooch decorates the bodice.

This fashion was made especially for Monograms, Poppy Parker and Nu Face dolls.

Vanessa in Blue and Brown

Posted on

One of my favorite dolls from the Integrity Convention, which was held over this past weekend in Chicago, is the FR2 Vanessa.  With this doll we see the return of the beloved Vanessa face mold.  She has a classic face paint with red lips and blue eyes. 

Here Vanessa models a party dress that perfectly complements her classic, elegant beauty.  The dress is a crisp silk taffeta in deep blue woven with a coppery brown.  A copper tulle petticoat peeks out from the full hemline and a brown silk taffeta bow adorns the waist.

This dress will fit FR2, Poppy, Nu Face, Silkstones and Monograms.
