Rockabilly Dress in Holiday Woodland Fantasy

Posted on

A whimsical Japanese holiday print makes up this charming Rockabilly dress.  Woodland creatures like reindeer, swans, and hedgehogs cavort among Christmas motifs on a black ground.  The sweetheart bodice has a pleated band that goes under the bust and over the shoulders as straps.  A full skirt invites twirling under the mistletoe.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie, Victoire Roux, and FR2

Snowflake Lace Party Dress

Posted on

As the weather grows colder, our thoughts turn to the Holidays, especially here in the Bellissima Couture workroom.  The strapless, dropped waist bodice is made from ice blue silk taffeta.  A band and bow defines the top of the bodice and is repeated at the waist with a bow belt.  The full skirt is made from snow white tulle lace embroidered with snowflakes in shades of blue.  Multiple layers of silver sparkle tulle give the skirt fullness and shine.

This fashion fits Silkstone, Victoire Roux, and FR2

Poppy is the epitome of chic in this classic sheath in black silk crepe.  The neckline is richly beaded with pearls, silver beads, and crystals.  A quilted black leather clutch (does not open) with crystal Chanel logo is a stylish accessory.

Remembrance of Summer

Posted on

Blush Beauty had to wait patiently for me to create her debut gown, but she is in the spotlight at last.  She models a tea length gown in shades of pale pink, rose, soft green, and pearl.  The strapless, dropped waist bodice is made from pale pink silk, with a band and bow detail at the top.  The ethereal skirt is cream tulle embroidered with large pink roses, pale green leaves, and tiny cream daisies.  The center of each daisy has a hand beaded pearl.  Eight layers of pale pink and shimmering pearl tulle give dramatic fullness to the skirt.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie, Poppy Parker, and FR2 dolls
