Coat Ensemble in Liberty of London Violas

Muffy models an elegant coat ensemble in shades of purple, bright pink, and black.  The classic swing coat is made from dark purple silk noil, a matte fabric with a subtle nubby texture.  The coat is fully lined in a striking Liberty of London print of purple pansies on a black ground.  Buttons covered in the Liberty fabric decorate the front and a shiny gold bird brooch ornaments the collar.  The accompanying full skirted dress is also in the pansy print.  A neat pill box hat in purple silk noil with a pansy bow in back is the perfect finishing touch.

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

Bubble Dress in Liberty of London “Saeed”

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

By Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.   
His house is in the village though;   
He will not see me stopping here   
To watch his woods fill up with snow.   
My little horse must think it queer   
To stop without a farmhouse near   
Between the woods and frozen lake   
The darkest evening of the year.   
He gives his harness bells a shake   
To ask if there is some mistake.   
The only other sound’s the sweep   
Of easy wind and downy flake.   
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   
But I have promises to keep,   
And miles to go before I sleep,   
And miles to go before I sleep.
A magical print makes up this coat ensemble for a snowy evening.  The coat is darkest blue printed in metallic silver with scenes of a family of deer in snow laden woods.  The coat is lined in silvery blue silk and crystal buttons sparkle down the front.  A silver snowflake brooch shines on the collar.  The matching strapless sheath dress is made from the same silvery blue silk as the lining, overlaid with silver lace.  A band and bow detail defines the top of the bodice.

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

A Glamorous Evening

The Holidays provide so many opportunities for elegant ensembles, such as this Chanel inspired sheath and jacket combination.  The strapless black metallic sheath is made from black figured lamé with a pattern of tiny dots.  A black silk belt with Chanel’s iconic double C logo as a buckle defines the waist.  The jacket is boxy in shape and is made from black eyelash bouclé, woven with threads of silver and highlighted with tiny black sequins for shimmer.  A grey diamante Chanel brooch, matching the belt buckle, sparkles on the front of the jacket.

For Love or Money Hostess Gown in Liberty of London Dancing Women

Critically acclaimed singer and fashion trendsetter Florence Welch of ‘Florence and the Machine’ visited the Liberty archives to select two of her favorite designs for the 2011 collection. This colorway of the Dancing Ladies Liberty Print was one such design, a wonderful traditional Liberty floral containing ‘Dancing Ladies’ reminiscent of Indian miniatures. It has been a very popular style within the past Liberty collections, especially in the 1920s and 30s.  The predominant colors are dark persimmon orange, golden olive, and teal on a rich blue ground.  Ladies dance to the music of the sitar, played by young men in a garden setting.  Spotted fawns, peacocks and other creatures stand by.

The hostess gown has a full skirt that is slit on one side, revealing the slim trousers in olive gold silk worn below.  A sash of dark orange woven with pink is hand fringed.

This fashion fits most 1/6 scale dolls, although the pants may not fit dolls with wider hips such as Severine or FR2
