Blue and gold princess gown (based on a gown from Liana’s Paperdoll Boutique)

Click for larger version; click for the list of dolls.

I can almost hear my mom now. “She said her midterm was on Thursday, why isn’t anything up yet?”Poor Mom. ;) This is just an update of one of my old Boutique fantasy gowns. This was one of my favorites; there was something about the blue that I liked. I still remember which blues I used originally (ultramarine and Copenhagen blue)… but arguably I was better at doing gold back then.

Check it out, University of Texas has a paper doll collection. They have a few dolls and outfits online, too, representations of women who donated to the accompanying textile collection; I totally dig December’s Christmas tree dress.

I was searching internet for interesting dresses and costumes, trying to find how would I do my theatre play in autumn, only to mix colours and put it in a style I see in the text.
I can say that I am impressed with your work. It/s very colourful, with taste, and pretty for the eye. Everything I want to see on a lady.
Have you ever done anything like designing costumes for a theatre play?

Thanks for the comments, everyone :D

Beba, I never have, but actually my mom did when she was in college :) I can’t sew very well, although I keep thinking that I should take a class… It’s too frustrating to fuss with real fabric, when, to have the dress of my dreams, all I have to do is pull out the colored pencils…
