Ever since my Springtime in Paris show, I have been dreaming about what to do next. The English Garden Party evolved from the acquisition of some gorgeous Liberty of London fabrics. But next I wanted to do a collection that featured some of the amazing fabrics that I have been collecting over the last year, but couldn’t really find a common thread that wove the collection together. Finally, I gave up and decided that the theme this time would simply be “pretty” and would be an indulgence of my personal favorites; favorite designs, gorgeous fabrics, beloved color combinations.
So here it is, an eclectic little collection for these beautiful days as summer draws to a close.
These fashions are fitted to the Silkstone Barbie body, but fit Victoire Roux, Poppy Parker, Audrey Hepburn, etc.
Fashions are sold on a first come, first served basis. I will try to update the website as quickly as possible to reflect what has sold. I will be out this evening between 6 and 8 pm, but will answer all emails as soon as I return.
To order, please email me at hildaewestervelt@gmail.com
Fashions will be made and shipped within two weeks.
