Le Corail

Posted on

Victoire relaxes while vacationing in a casual, yet elegant ensemble.  The tunic top is made from silk charmeuse in a vivid aqua blue printed with branches of coral.  The top has elbow length sleeves and side vents for comfort and ease.  The matching trousers are made from coral silk noil, which has a matte finish and nubby texture similar to linen.  A bracelet of coral is an elegant finishing touch.

This fashion fits most fashion dolls, though the pants may not fit dolls with wider hips such as Severine or the new generation of FR dolls.

Bubble Dress in Liberty of London Lodden

Posted on

Lodden, one of the great arts & crafts textile designs of the past, was originally designed by William Morris in 1884, but was made into Liberty’s own design by re-scaling and re-coloring.  This colorway is in shades of orchid, grey, pale pink, rose, and yellow.  The off the shoulder, dropped waist bodice is gathered at the bust and decorated with beads and pearls in pastel shades.  A silk bow belt in orchid silk defines the waist.  The voluminous bubble skirt is as light as a souffle.

Ce Rêve Bleu

Posted on

An ethereal ball gown in French blue glazed tulle, inspired by a gown from Paolo Sebastian’s 2015 couture collection.

Paolo

  The fabric is very special and very difficult to find.  It is a true couture cotton tulle with tiny hexagonal openings that has been glazed, giving it a pearly finish and an exquisite hand.  The gown has three tiers, each a double layer of tulle that has been distressed on the edges, giving it a shredded appearance.  The bodice is covered in tiny florets of tulle, each with a tiny silver bead in the center.  Navy blue velvet ribbon serves as straps and wraps around the bodice, tying in a bow in the front.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie, Poppy Parker, and FR2 dolls (this model is Poppy Parker on an FR2 body)
