A chilling yet sophisticated ensemble for Halloween. The shawl collared coat is made from a Japanese printed cotton in eerie shades of gray, black, and ghostly white.  Disembodied Victorian gowns drift between leafless trees, white transparent ghosts dart in and out, while white rabbits flee from the creepy spirits around them.  Purple and bronze faceted beads act as buttons while a silver owl brooch perches on the collar.  The coat is fully lined in vibrant chartreuse silk satin.  The accompanying dress has a black silk bodice and a full skirt of purple embroidered tulle lace with layers of black tulle.  A narrow belt of chartreuse satin with a small buckle sits above the waist.

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

I have had this small scrap of cotton fabric in my stash for many years and had just enough to make a sheath dress.  It is a rustic Asian woodblock print in shades of red, gold, and orange on a black ground, perfect for the Autumn months.  The bodice is off the shoulder with a dramatic plunging neckline.  The waist is defined by a pleated, deep orange silk cummerbund.
