A Breath of Spring Cocktail Sheath

Posted on January 31, 2015 by hwesterv

Although snow lies thick on the ground, spring bulbs are stirring and getting ready to wake up.  This sheath dress, made from beautiful silk brocade, anticipates the beauty of spring.  The deep neckline is accented with a lush ruffle of lilac tulle and is further defined by a band and bow in orchid silk.

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

Peacock Garden Coat Ensemble

Posted on January 27, 2015 by hwesterv

Another fabric in the Chinoiserie series, this print depicts peacocks in a garden, surrounded by flowers and pagodas.  The coat is lined in bright pink silk and pink semi precious stone beads act as buttons.  The coordinating sheath is made from iridescent orange silk embroidered with vines.  I added tiny pink beads to the vines that twine down the front of the dress, to pick up on the bright pink coat lining.

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

Butterfly Garden Coat Ensemble

Posted on January 24, 2015 by hwesterv

I have been planning this outfit for Ayumi for a long time, but needed to find the right color silk to coordinate with the coat fabric.  The other day I found this lovely coral pink silk taffeta and it matched perfectly.  The coat is a subdued shade, but with vibrant pops of red and coral from the butterflies that flit among the cherry blossoms.  It is fully lined in coral pink silk and has gold and crystal buttons.  A gold butterfly pin alights on the collar.  The accompanying dress is a strapless sheath in the same coral silk with a richly beaded band along the bust.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie, NuFace, FR2 dolls, and Monogram dolls.
