New acessories for Felicity

I have a laptop now! Hopefully this means more frequent posts, but I won't set my hopes too high. I've been on Pinterest a lot lately pinning stuff to my Felicity board, and I also added a Marie Antoinette board full of fluffy, over-the-top delights of ribbons, silks, lace, feathers, all those ethereal things that the ridiculous Rococo period brings to mind. 

 

I ordered some glass pearls from Amazon, and then had a dickens of a time stringing a few on a narrow blue ribbon to make a simple necklace. If anyone wants one, they're a million dollars, ;)

    A million for a necklace sounds fair. I'll four. One for my Felicity, one for each of my little sisters, and one for trying to resale for a billion dollars, the true fair price.

    Fun times ahead, I hope!

First American Girl!

My first American Girl doll arrived in the mail today! She's a 1993 Pleasant Company Felicity doll (three years older than me!) in perfect condition with her original meet clothes, and a meet accessory set. It's so strange to have a doll I've wanted for so long in my hands!  Pretty mobcap and coral necklace Cotton shift, perfect condition! I love her beautiful, beautiful hair. So nice to have a doll with quality hair. Gorgeous eyes, Felicity has unique green eyes to all other AG dolls.  Garters and stockings and shoes, oh my! I love the weight of these stockings. Nice heavy cotton. I think these are later meet accessories after looking in the packaging. 2007, I'm pretty sure.  Beautiful Felicity! I can't wait to get started on some historical clothing for her, but right now she's going to stand on my dresser with my other dolls so I can admire her for a while first.

Pink Regency Dress

A couple extant dresses have caught my eye recently that I wanted to translate into doll clothes, one is done, and I am partially done with the second. This pink dress is inspired by the following picture of an extant dress and spencer. The white spencer is going to be a future project as well.  I made a couple slight changes, like making a bib front opening, and adding a slight train. Probably not the most practical for daywear, but I also don't think my doll plans much walking ;) I used a pattern from the book Regency Women's dress, and adapted it to fit a short squat doll body. Scraps, first pattern draft Leftover fabric, cut dress pieces, finished pattern Little bodice pieces ready to iron Whipping the back seams Inside shoulder and back seams, both turned and whipped Right side view of back seam Front before adding the lining pieces that cross in the front Whipping down the shoulder hem She borrowed Felici
