I found this lovely Japanese fabric the other day and made up a coat from it in honor of all of my friends who have been in Paris at the Paris Fashion Doll Festival. When I was living in France after college, there was a patisserie down the street from my apartment.  The pastries displayed in the window were miniature works of art.  I decided to try a different one every week.  How did I limit myself to only one a week!?  I don’t think I would have such self control now!

The fabric is dove grey with a hint of lavender and is covered with charming watercolor images of famous French pastries and delicate French script.  The coat is fully lined in iridescent orchid silk and orchid purple pearls act as buttons.  A vintage Eiffel Tower brooch decorates the shawl collar.  A fitted, strapless cocktail sheath is made from iridescent orchid silk overlaid with pink and silver lace.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie, Victoire Roux, and FR2 dolls.

A dramatic hostess gown in a Liberty of London print called Tiny Poppytot.

“Tiny Poppytot was inspired by illustrations in children’s magazines from the 1930s. The design features flowers with symbolic meaning: bluebell for the Greek moon goddess Selene, and the snowdrops and honeysuckles symbolise friendship, consolation, hope and devoted love.”

The gown is open on one side, revealing the iridescent saffron silk capri pants.  A purple silk, hand fringed sash is tied at the waist.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie, Victoire Roux, and FR2 dolls (gown will be somewhat shorter on taller dolls)

This elegant hostess gown is in a delicate watercolor print by jewelry designer Alex Monroe for Liberty of London.  The artist was inspired by the following passage from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.

”O Tiger – Lily!” said Alice, addressing herself to one that was waving gracefully about in the wind, ”I wish you could talk!”
”We can talk,” said the Tiger Lily: ”when there’s anybody worth talking to.” – Lewis Carroll

Tiny dragonflies flit in and out of graceful tiger lilies in rose highlighted with bright pink.  Bright pink silk capri pants can be glimpsed under the full skirt, which opens on one side.  A bright pink silk, hand fringed sash ties at the waist.

This fashion fits Silkstone Barbie, Poppy Parker, Victoire Roux, and FR2 (though the dress will be shorter on the taller dolls)
