Vintage Repro in Barbie Pink for Gene or Retro Glam

 

SOLD  Thanks.  This is a replica of a 50's fashion from the Australian Home Journal that I though was so cute!  (Inspiration pic at end.)  Gene and Liz are both shown modeling this dress.  I like the hat a bit better on Liz because she has a smaller head.   I made it from a bright pink rayon batiste.  The biggest challenge to recreating this dress was figuring out the bodice lining.  The dress has an attached self belt with silver buckle and ruched short sleeves with tiny bows.  Included is a separate matching tulle petticoat to give the hand-hemmed skirt it's fullness.  The picture hat is made from black aida cloth with the edges bound in silk/cotton.  It's adorned with a black silk ribbon tied in a bow with longer streamers.  The dress closes with snaps in the back.  Dress and hat are available for $140 plus $6 shipping in the US.  Email me at nwickman@chartermi.net if interested.  And here is the beautiful Liz in the dress.  

I recently bought this beautiful chaise lounge from Winzerdoll.  It's gorgeous but I don't know how useful it will be for photos because the dolls can't really sit upright on it.  But it was fun to play with.  Since I have very limited room in my house, I'm not sure I'll hang onto it.
