Concord Grape Silk Brocade Suit

Posted on August 30, 2014 by hwesterv

Now that a touch of Fall is in the air, I find myself reaching for richer, deeper colors.  This is a favorite brocade of mine, with deep purple flowers and green vines against a black ground.  The simple sheath has a pleated cummerbund in deep purple silk.  The boxy jacket is fully lined in the same dark purple silk.  Tiny faceted jet buttons decorate the front.  A black Swarovski crystal brooch ornaments the collar.  A dramatic bow band hat is the final touch.

This fashion fits Victoire Roux, Silkstone Barbie and FR2 dolls.
