Hollywood Dolls

If this dress looks a little familiar it is because it was inspired by this gorgeous DeaAnna Denton dress.



When I cut of the bottom of the pleated skirt that I used to make the "Rear Window" dress, I knew I had to make Gene a copy of DeeAnna's dress. Of course it's not exact, but Gene loves her version of DeeAnna's dress.









"Twilight Girl" is wearing a dress made with the same lace bodice and a full circle chiffon skirt.







Here is the same bodice with a lace skirt. I think the shorter skirt gives it more of a late 50's early 60's look.

Twilight Girl is the only convention centerpiece doll that I own. When I got the opportunity to purchase her I was a little ambivalent at first. I wasn't in love with her hair and outfit. One of my table mates convinced me to buy her and I am so glad.

The first year after I bought her she stayed dressed in her original clothes, but lately she had started modeling for me. I think she fits in the late 50's-early 60's era like Slender Threads does.
I really like her now.

One of my new goals is to use up as much of my fabric stash as possible, including my scraps. During my last few projects I made up some outfits out of scraps. It feels really good to use up the whole piece of fabric and be done with it. Now if I could only sew faster I could get through my huge stash!

















These sheaths were made from the same silk as this dress





I even had enough for another bodice. Twilight Girl looks very "Mad Men".









All four outfits will be on sale in my store.
