The 14th gown in a series honoring my mother Nancy and her love of flowers.  One of my mother’s favorite flowers was the sweet pea, a lovely, delicate flower with a heavenly fragrance.  The gown has a strapless bodice with a peplum silhouette in celadon green silk taffeta.  The skirt has 8 layers of tulle, alternating celadon and pale pink to create a subtle gradation of color.  The sweet peas are front and center, in white touched with pale green and a whisper of rose pink on the edges.  Pink roses are scattered around them.  A scattering of rose and pale green Swarovski crystals add a touch of sparkle.  A hand painted rose pink silk ribbon is tied at the waist.

The thirteenth gown in a series honoring my mother Nancy and her love of flowers.  Pink was one of my mom’s favorite colors and it is also mine, so there was bound to be more than one pink gown in the series.  The strapless bodice has a peplum silhouette and is made from pale pink silk taffeta.  The skirt is made from eight layers of tulle, alternating pale pink and rose pink.  Cream cherry blossoms touched with pale pink are encased in the layers of tulle.  Randomly placed pink Swarovski crystals add pops of sparkle.  A hand painted rose pink silk satin ribbon ties at the waist, picking up the rose tones in the skirt.

A wonderfully retro Mid Century Modern print of abstract colorful parasols in peach, chartreuse, coral, aqua, and turquoise on a grey ground.  The bodice has a sweetheart neckline and a pleated band that stretches under the bust and over the shoulders as straps.  A full skirt invites twirling.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie.  It may fit other dolls, but no guarantee.

One of the most adorable cat prints I have found, a mischievous kitten gets into a stash of yarn and chaos ensues.  The kitten is white on a French blue ground, with additional bright colors in the balls of yarn.  The dress has a boatnecked bodice and a full skirt given additional volume with layers of lime green tulle.  A white silk belt and yellow enamel buckle adds interest to the waist.  A crystal kitten brooch sparkles on the shoulder, but is magnetic and can be moved to other garments as well.

The eleventh gown in a series honoring my mother Nancy and her love of flowers.  I have always considered zinnias the cheerful, happy flowers of any garden.  They come in bright, tropical colors and are related to daisies and sunflowers.  The skirt of this gown is in shades of bright pink and tangerine orange tulle in alternating layers.  Encased in the tulle are bright pink and orange zinnias with touches of gold.  A row of light green leaves forms the bases and tiny orange and pink flowers are scattered around, along with pink Swarovski crystals for sparkle.  The strapless, peplum shaped bodice is made from an exotic iridescent silk that mixes orange with dark purple for a beautiful shimmer.  A hand painted silk ribbon in pink and orange ties at the waist.

This fashion fits most 1/6 scale fashion dolls, although the length will vary depending on the doll.
