Paperdoll Blog: Dress Robes

So, all at once, the maddening door can be opened and we have the name of the next Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In celebration, a dress robe.

I rather think this particular outfit belongs to Professor Sinistra, the Astronomy teacher; I’m just not seeing anyone else wearing it. I do wonder about those dress robes, you see. Of course they can’t be plain old robes in different colors with a little lace; if witches and wizards like to show off when they get together, there’s not much chance that they would be content with the same thing as they wear every day. We know as well that the fashions change to some degree. I suppose it would be fun to do a timeline of dress robes loosely based off of period costume… (of course, anything too Muggleish would be eschewed, but perhaps we can pretend that the Muggles were inspired by magical dressmakers?) I have, however, this horror of going to the Goblet of Fire movie and seeing that everybody’s been thrown into prom dresses. Dreadful.

Apologies for not actually putting this online yesterday. I misplaced my doll base that I draw the dresses from, so I couldn’t draw (to my satisfaction, at least) for a while.
