I tried this dress pattern out a few weeks ago in polka dots and am now branching out into other prints.  This happy fabric is the work of one of my favorite designers, Tone Finnanger, whose fabrics are under the brand Tilda from Norway.  The white fabric is splashed with large pink peonies and I thought it was perfect for the Rockabilly style I am going for with this dress.  The sweetheart bodice is defined by a pleated piece of fabric that goes under the bust and over the shoulders as straps.

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

I found this lovely Japanese fabric the other day and made up a coat from it in honor of all of my friends who have been in Paris at the Paris Fashion Doll Festival. When I was living in France after college, there was a patisserie down the street from my apartment.  The pastries displayed in the window were miniature works of art.  I decided to try a different one every week.  How did I limit myself to only one a week!?  I don’t think I would have such self control now!

The fabric is dove grey with a hint of lavender and is covered with charming watercolor images of famous French pastries and delicate French script.  The coat is fully lined in iridescent orchid silk and orchid purple pearls act as buttons.  A vintage Eiffel Tower brooch decorates the shawl collar.  A fitted, strapless cocktail sheath is made from iridescent orchid silk overlaid with pink and silver lace.

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

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

Shades of coral and spring green are the predominant colors in this feminine party dress.  The net skirt is embroidered with dark and light coral geraniums with spring green leaves.  Layers of coral pink tulle give fullness to the skirt.  The dropped waist, strapless bodice is made from coral silk.  A drape of coral tulle embroidered with beads gives texture to the bodice.

A dramatic hostess gown in a Liberty of London print called Tiny Poppytot.

“Tiny Poppytot was inspired by illustrations in children’s magazines from the 1930s. The design features flowers with symbolic meaning: bluebell for the Greek moon goddess Selene, and the snowdrops and honeysuckles symbolise friendship, consolation, hope and devoted love.”

The gown is open on one side, revealing the iridescent saffron silk capri pants.  A purple silk, hand fringed sash is tied at the waist.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie, Victoire Roux, and FR2 dolls (gown will be somewhat shorter on taller dolls)
