These vintage beauties caught my eye a while back.
They were both at the same antique shop
and one wore the gown (although dirty and needing mending)
and the other had a not so pretty outfit.
The first thing I did was to make them undergarments
from vintage lace
At a flea market shop I found a blouse
that was very large and faded but had lovely beaded sleeves.
~ Ta-Da! ~
The elastic end went around the wrists....
I took a seam to make it smaller and hemmed the other end.
T W I N S!!!
From a small fur collar I made two stoles

Lovely twins they are. How very smart of you to repurpose the sleeves into the twins dresses. Playing dress up is always the best fun...
A day late, but happy as a princess as I see your twin dolls all dolled up. My friend, you are now inspiring me! Oh the fun, I really don't know where to begin! And poetry awaits me, my harp, my garden....these cuties really have been rescued by a magician, a fairy godmother who transforms!!!!!!
Do I recognize a certain tiara?
ARE YA HAVIN' FUN? I am and will be even more in a few days....thinking of you, always!
Violet it's like you have a magical wand to transform every wonderful find you discover. Twins! Wow love the outfits.
