Plaid Tidings Day Dress and Brooch Set

Poppy is ready for all of her holiday engagements in this day dress in festive plaid cotton voile.  The fitted, boat necked bodice is in contrast to the voluminous skirt, made fuller by layers of red shimmer tulle.  The dress comes with a set of three holiday brooches, each with a magnetic back that allows you to use them on all of your favorite holiday fashions.

A Visit to Never Never Land Coat and Party Dress Ensemble

Just in time for the release of this fabulous Tinkerbell Poppy Parker, Riley Blake Designs came out with a group of fabrics called Never Land.  This cotton print depicts the island of Never Land and its well known attributes like the forest trees, teepees, stars, moons, arrows, a compass, even Tinkerbell herself.  The colors are periwinkle, jade green, aqua, lavender, and chartreuse on a cornflower blue ground.  The classic swing coat is lined in lavender silk and has iridescent faceted glass buttons.  A tiny sparkling dragonfly brooch sparkles on the collar.  The accompanying party dress has a boat necked bodice in the same lavender silk as the coat’s lining.  The skirt is made from lavender English net with a deep embroidered hem.  Eight layers of tulle give the skirt plenty of volume.  Overall, the perfect outfit for our favorite fairy.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie, Poppy Parker, Nu Face, and FR2

Down by the River Rockabilly Dress

Those who know me well know that I adore otters, so when I found this fabric I had to have it.  River otters are among the most playful and social animals and this is well represented here as they dive and slide among the floating water plants.  The sweetheart bodice has a pleated band that stretches under the bust and over the shoulders as straps.  Bodice is fully lined in cream silk.

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

Snowy Woods Rockabilly Dress

Posted on

As winter approaches, snow is in the air.  This dress is made from ice blue cotton printed with pearlescent white touched with silver.  The print depicts woodland creatures such as foxes, raccoons, deer, and snowy owls, in a frosted landscape.  The sweetheart bodice has a pleated band that stretches under the bust and over the shoulders as straps.  A lovely winter dress for the holidays.

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

A Kitten for Christmas Rockabilly Dress

Posted on

When I was a very little girl and still wrote letters to Santa, I asked for the same gift every year; a kitten.  I never received one (we had 2 cats already), but I always imagined that if I did receive one, it might be like the sleepy kittens in Christmas stockings in this charming print from Dear Stella.  Two kittens, one grey and one orange, are nestled into red Christmas stockings with festive patterns in white, on a blush pink ground.  The sweetheart bodice has a pleated band that stretches under the bust and over the shoulders as straps.  The bodice is fully lined in cream silk.  The full skirt invites twirling by the tree.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie.  It may fit other dolls of similar body type, but there are no guarantees.

Essentially Alice Coat and Party Dress Ensemble

Posted on

A darling Japanese print makes up the coat of this ensemble.  The print depicts scenes of Alice and the people and creatures she encountered during her adventures in Wonderland, interspersed with roses, keys, and other significant objects.  The colors are black and white with pops of red.  The coat has a front pleat on each side and a shawl collar.  It is fully lined in red silk and has red faceted glass buttons.  The accompanying dress has a red silk boat necked bodice, matching the coat lining.  The full skirt is made from black tulle embroidered in red and decorated with a scattering of crystals.  Layers and layers of black tulle give volume to the skirt.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie, Poppy Parker, FR 2, and Nu Face
