I also submitted a design in the advanced design competition at this year’s Integrity Toys convention. The challenge was to design a fashion inspired by the early 1960s. I chose the year 1962. The silhouette in evening wear at the time was high waisted, with a bell shaped skirt. Sparkle brocade was popular, as were large bows with fringe. The boat-necked bodice is made from aqua and silver brocade. The bell skirt is made from aqua silk woven with silver. A bow in the same fabric decorates the high waist. The auction includes the gown and the diamante bow hair ornament.
I am offering this fashion via silent auction. Please submit your bids to my email before 8 pm West Coast time, Sunday, November 8. hildaewestervelt@gmail.com
This fashion is being modeled by a Poppy Parker doll on a Monogram body. It will fit Nu Face, Poppy Parker, Silkstone Barbie, Monograms, and similar dolls.
