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...
ReplyDeleteA 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!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo 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.
