Priscilla in French Blue - A Dress Form Doll Story

French blue, otherwise known as periwinkle is one of my favorite colors! I've just finished my latest dress form doll using, what else, shades of pretty french blue papers and ribbon.

I think I must have lived a past life during some romantic time. I love the frilly, full skirts of ages past.

It's not considered very practical to wear something like this unless you happen to be on stage or going to a costume ball.

Thank heaven for art because I can create these to my heart's content! Looking at them is sometimes better than having the real thing don't you think?

I don't have to spend a fortune to have a pretty dream wardrobe plus I can appreciate it more on a body that isn't my own.

This luscious doll is up for sale in the Kell Belle Boutique on Etsy. Visit me there for more details about this piece. Hope you like this as much as I do.

A Little Paper Couture Inspiration

Does this magnificent creation not inspire vast quantities (as my British step-father used to say) paper couture inspiration or what?! I think it's positively scrumptious!

What inspires me most about this burlesque style dress is that sexy scrunched fabric look that adorns the edge of its corseted drop waistline. Muah! Bellissima! Remember that crumpled paper? Yeah, I'm thinkin' some delicate color and . . . 

This dress is a custom order and one of several elegant designs created by Angela of Etsy's Glamtastik. To purchase one of these lovelies in your size, contact Angela for details.
