Lady Merriweather

fcclos

Happy new year!  This is the third of my 2011 dolls. She is wearing a beautiful dress made from  antique dark royal blue and chartreuse woven silk.  Her petticoat is made from some lovely antique embroidered tulle from France in a very light shade of chartreuse. The tulle has the same flower motif as the silk fabric of the dress. Under her petticoat is a slip made from cotton in the chartreuse color. I made all the trim from the same fabric as the dress, the gold bow around her neck is made from antique gold metallic thread that I crocheted in a single chain . the trim around her cuffs is also made from this thread and  crocheted in a double chain. I think this doll has a great presence her body shape is wonderful from all sides.

I hope you enjoyed viewing her. For more information please feel free to call me or email me. Go to the contact tab on the home page .

She has a stomacher of antique lace . Simple elegance she stands 11 inches tall. She is one of my very best dolls to date as she has one of the most authentic looks to the original English wooden dolls . her expression has a slight look of disapproval with pouty lips.

This is Lady Hilliary she is only 10 inches tall but what an ensemble. 18th century silk gown trimmed n antique gold metallic trim she has a powdered wig and green enameled earrings and necklace.. She is dress to go out wearing a beautiful jacket in a wonderful silk that is of the same colors  as her gown but in a smaller striped, the jacket can be removed with some effort and so is not recommended , but it is the first time I have made a doll where the clothes were not completely sewn on. She does have a gold silk top completely trimmed under the  jacket.  Lady Hilliary is made as all my doll with enameled eyes and hand carve hands,and legs that bend at the hip and knees.
