Lady Clarisse d’Cagliostro’s Second Wedding Gown from Studio Ghibli’s Castle of Cagliostro

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

So I adore the Ghibli movies, and since I also adore the original Arsène Lupin it can hardly be a surprise I love the Castle of Cagliostro, the collision of his grandson Lupin III and Hayao Miyazaki. Brian and I watched it again the other day, and it’s definitely one of my favorites, full of action and Lupin getting the better of people. Clarisse here gets two wedding dresses, and I opted for the crown of the first and the dress of the second, because I can’t pull off the thing she wears that covers all her hair unless my paperdoll fans are willing to mutilate their copies of Iris and Sylvia to make it fit.

I have a lot of movies coming up in my future, so tell me what Ghibli movies you like and I’ll paperdoll them a bit…

  I love Ghibli movies, ever since I saw Naussica in the early 90s. I love Spirited Away, but Laputa and The Cat Returns are both big favourites… as well as My Neighbour Totoro:)

  Oh, great dress by the way, as always, haha!

  Oh, I should have put Totoro in, shouldn’t I? That’s definitely one of the classics… I’d have listed more, but I didn’t want the poll to get too long. I love The Cat Returns, too, and Brian’s a big Nausicaa fan :)

  Hi I think that this is a wonderful dress. I love the crown and the blue ribbon.

  Thanks :) Yeah, she loses the blue ribbon in the ensuing chase scenes, but I thought it was a nice touch for her gown.
