Little Foxes Part II

I love it when my customers send me photos of the doll clothes I have made on their own dolls. These photos blew me away!

I am so impressed by his repaint of Bette Davis. I think he nailed it.

Little Foxes

Sharing another commission

My obsession with classic movies is mostly focused on movies starring Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and Lana Turner.  When I was asked to make this gown from the film “Little Foxes” staring Bette Davis, I was rather ignorant of the subject.

I still haven’t seen the whole movie, but I need to see if Netflix has it or something.

The gown is made of a really nice velvet.  A   bustle was requested, which stumped me for a while.  I ended up making a detachable bustle/train.  I am still stumped about how to make a bustle.

I had bought the beaded trim years ago with no purpose in mind, except that I liked it.  I was delighted to find it in my lace stash, I love how it worked out.

The tulle wrap is also detachable.

This gown is already sold and I am out of beaded trim (wish I had bought more).

The End
