Sharing another commission with you all.
This is the dress that Grace Kelly wore when she met her future husband Prince Rainier III in 1955.
My client sent me a photo of his fabric with a photo of the original dress. I wasn’t sure about his fabric choice at first. It was an almost perfect match for Grace’s original dress, but the scale of the print was too big for a doll in my opinion.

I regret that I neglected to take better pictures of the finished outfits before I sent them.
Luckily for me, Richard sent me some photos of the dress on an actual Grace Kelly doll. We were both very happy with how the dress turned out and Grace looks beautiful in it. Sometimes a larger print can work for doll clothes.

I have decided that I need to start looking for a Grace Kelly doll for myself.

I plan on making more Grace Kelly dresses and I’m always looking for the fabrics to make them.

There is a couple on Ebay at the moment. See item 180762865930 but I think it's a bit expensive and I don't think the doll looks like Grace Kelly. I rather have a second hand one or get Tonner Daphne for a repaint to look like Grace Kelly. Susan Hook(visit her website http://www.myimmortals.com)is one of the best repaint artist.
WOW! Great fabric shopping Diane!
