Recopilación de Alice y otras tres preciosas paper dolls con sus vestuario. Datan de alrededor de los años 50.
I have been furiously sewing away on my 1916 outfit using Wearing History's 1910s Suit Jacket pattern and am almost done with the outfit. Just need to complete a petticoat so the skirt will stand out correctly before I photograph the whole ensemble and share it with you. Oh, and I need to desecrate an antique fur hat to make it more 1916...maybe, we'll see if I can go through with it. Anyhoo, while I am completing that, I thought I'd share some of the projects I have in the plan/collect all the things/design files for future outfits. The historical clothing education group I am a part of, We Wear Idaho History (we have changed our name to reflect our love and passion for Idaho!!!) is expanding our fashion show variety to encompass different styles and genres of historical dress. To that end, I am going to be making outfits that will be useful in the shows, ones that I have had on my "will make before I die" list for quite a long while and darn it!!! I totally have an "excuse" to make them now. Like I totally need an excuse! Bwhahahahahaha!!!!! I'll also share my Pinterest pages where I get my inspiration! 1890s Wedding Gown I was vacillating between making a bustle gown or an 1890s gown, but the '90s won out. I have some really lovely dark cream silk dupioni that literally shines and I wanted the loveliness of the fabric to not be impeded by pleats and shirring. Plus, the 1890s just make me smile Inspiration for the wedding dress...Love the typical '90s sleeves and the sweep of the skirt!!! Source: Indianapolis Museum of Art Pinterest board: Weddings Old Style Late 1890s Maternity Gown For some odd reason, I have always wanted to make a Victorian maternity gown! Probably because I started making these dresses after my last son was a year old and therefore never got to make a dress for when I was pregnant. So, I am seriously excited to make one now! I had been thinking about what era to make the dress...Bustle? 1860s? A wrapper? When the solution solved itself for me! I had purchased a teens era skirt and 1916 dress pattern on eBay and the seller said she would throw in another pattern she had laying around because she wanted to get rid of it. I said, "Cool with me!" not knowing what pattern she had in mind. Low and behold, when I opened the package I was gobsmacked to discover what lay in its confines.....A ladies House Jacket pattern that was literally PERFECT for a late 1890s maternity dress!!! My mind was blown! I had seen Empress Alexandra's maternity gown from when she was pregnant with Grand Duchess Maria and thought it a lovely confection!!! I was laughing hysterically at the craziness of it all, and once again I was gifted with worried and quizzical stares from my children... Empress Alexandra's maternity gown. Isn't it gorgeous! I will be on the look out for some ivory and pink (I could just die from the girliness of it all!!!) fabric and of course the lace. Source: Hermitage Twitter Pinterest Board: Maternity Clothing of Long Ago So fabulous pattern that will be used to make Empress Alexnadra's gown! Sooooooooo excited!!! 1890s Bicycle Outfit I have wanted to make one of these since I first stared making Victorian clothing, but something else always got in the way. But NOW, now it will be made. Probably next year, but it will be made! I have the fabric and the patterns and so now there is no excuse! I love the thought of an outfit specially designed for a lady to ride her bicycle!!! Go lady go!!!!! I don't remember where I found this particular image, but I do know I have a paper doll book that has the image in it! I LOVE This dress! It is so beautiful in its simplicity!!! Can't wait to make this baby come to life!!! Edited: Source: Museum of Play Pinterest Board: Sports: Cycling Costumes of Long Ago Riding Habit In the past I have made two riding habits, wore them to have pictures taken, and then for some idiotic reason, sold them. ACK!!! What was I thinking? I have no idea. But after finding some fabulous dark forest green Pendleton wool at a thrift store (on the factory cardboard for heavens sake and for $5.99 for it all!!!) I knew exactly what would be made of it. The below fabulousness..... I just love how gorgeous this green riding habit is! And I already have the hat to go with it!! Huzzah!!! Source: The MET Pinterest Board: Riding Habits of Long Ago 1917 Military Inspired Dress This had been on my "That's really cool, but I have no idea how I am going to make it because there are no patterns available in my size" list for quite a while when Lauren of Wearing History came out with her 1910s jacket pattern. I knew exactly what I would make when I saw the pattern and my heart got seriously happy that day!!! I love the tailored look of the whole thing and can't wait to get to it! I have the fabric ready and waiting. It was going to be made for Costume College last year and I can't remember why it wasn't. But soon my pretty...sooooooon..... Ok, I also have the pith helmet and shoes! Squee!! Cannot WAIT!!! Source: Dress Making Research 1920s Aviatrix/Explorer Several years ago, I acquired a pair of antique Jodhpurs that, at the time, there was not a snowball's chance in the outer reaches on hell I was ever going to get into. Not even if I lathered myself with butter and olive oil and jumped into them from atop my roof. Then I lost weight and low and behold.....THEY FIT!!!!! I scared Rosie dog who was minding her own business, sleeping on my bed with my shriek of sheer happiness! I have loved jodhpurs ever since I saw Meryl Streep wearing them in "Out of Africa" and then again when I saw the Honorable Phryne Fisher wearing some...I KNEW that I had to fit into mine. I had considered taking my pair apart and making a pattern out of them because I could not for the life of me find a quality, pattern that really really really looked like old fashioned jodhpurs. My conscious and my not talented pattern making brain rebelled at the idea of taking the vintage pair apart...thankfully. I did purchase the Folkwear pattern for the 1920s equestrian jodhpurs but was still not happy. Thankfully, I can now wear the originals!!! I didn't know if I wanted to be an explorer from the late teens/1920s or an Aviatrix when a chance encounter at a thrift store settled the debate. I found an antique aviator's leather cap for $7.00. I stood in the store in silence, trying to contain the great WHOOP of excitement attempting to escape my lips. I think I did a very admirable job as I paid for my cap, a 1940s brown leather purse and a 1950s parasol, keeping my emotions under control!! Hahahahahaha!!! I have been wanting some riding/hiking boots that laced up the front but didn't have a zipper for a long while and wasn't having any success finding some that were in my budget. Happily, I won the bid on a pair on eBay. When they came, I donned them along with my shorts and T-shirt and paraded around the house like an idiot, much to the delight of my niece and nephew. I am so totally fostering the personality of the Eccentric Old Aunt. I am still on the look out for a bomber jacket, but was consoled with the fact that there are many images of Aviatrix's lady pilots with out them. Dorky, excited me taking a selfie to send to my friend Josie...I was seriously ecstatic!!! I am also loving this image of Lady Edith Crawley's Bicycle outfit.... Source: fanpop Pinterest Pages: Jodhpurs Aviatrix Oh!!! And check out Nabby's Aviatrix Costume!!! She is pretty rockin' in this get up AND she made her own bomber jacket!! Huzzah!! 1840s Mourning Gown Every October, I attempt to make a mourning gown from a different era. This year, I have decided, thanks in part to all the Jane Eyre movies, to make an 1840s mourning gown! I am so excited! This will be the outfit I work on next. A whole new suite of underwear will have to be made to go along with it...darn it!!! hahahahah!!! I am so very excited!! I already have the black wool that I purchased in Vancouver, BC years ago, and the pattern...just need to get started!!! I love the simple and elegant lines of this dress! Source: Dames a la Mode tumblr 1860s Elliptical Hoop To add to my " I would really love to have a dress from every era starting with the Regency Era" dreams, I am "needing" to make an elliptical hoop and all that goes along with it. I found some lovely plaid wool at the thrift store one day and think it would be fabulous with a zouave jacket! I will have to make an elliptical cage which I am soooooo not looking forward to, but that's totally ok. I'll get over it!!! For some reason, this style of dress is really lovely to my eyes! This outfit, however, is a ways down on my to do list!!! Source: The Barrington House Well, that's all I have in the way of planning so far. Again, if I write it down for the world wide web to see, it's "out there" and I now have to make it....right? Have a wonderfully blessed day my friends! I'm off to make a petticoat!! g

A stunning collection of vintage patterns from Albert Racinet's L'Ornement Polychrome. All in the public domain and free to print.
The most recent vintage L&B paper doll addition to my collection also happens to be my smallest at just 6 inches tall. My latest and smallest L&B Articulated Paper Doll Earlier this summer I acquired this sweet little lady into my collection for $25.00 and thought she's not a correctly matched doll I wanted her for several reasons. First - She only stands 6 inches tall when fully assembled and never having had the smallest size of L&B dolls in my collection I thought she was a good start to adding them into the mix. Secondly - I've been wanting to add this beauty for quite some time and she's a difficult one to come across. I know eventually I will get her larger and with ballet legs but till then I have this sweetie. Third - She had a very odd shaped torso for a L&B Ballerina or Prima Donna paper doll. I can honestly say it's fun to have one of the mini dolls in my collection; however the image quality in miniature is not the same as on the larger dolls, they just can't pack in that much detail on such a small canvas. I think you can see that the below posted doll which a larger version of mine has a more serene an polished look than my doll has. So going forward I'll purchase the smaller dolls but only if the price is right, otherwise the larger dolls make prettier display pieces than the mini's. Here is what a larger version of her would look like with all the right parts. An image I found of her several years ago on the internet - sorry I can't remember the source but if I find it I'll post it here. This is what this sweet ballerina with all her correct parts should look like. So far I've only seen the smaller 6 inch version like I own to be wearing a necklace so this is one of the bigger sizes of the doll - in case you were wondering. In the scheme of things it's really odd to see her next to the larger L&B paper dolls. The various sizes of L&B articulated paper dolls Just look how tiny the six inch doll looks next to her cousins. L&B made Ballerina and Prima Donna (bloomer) Dolls and all 4 of these are from the Ballerina doll series, it's just that the smallest doll did not have the correct parts which is why you see her here in bloomers and gloved arms. The tallest Ballerina is 13 3/4 inches assembled the next tallest is 11 1/2 inches assembled the rare green ballerina is 9 3/4 inches assembled and the small blue doll is 6 inches with this particular torso and limbs In actuality with the correct curvier torso and correct limbs the smallest ballerina in the L&B line should measure 5 3/4 inches assembled. L&B (Littauer & Boysen) of Germany produced these dolls under their name as uncut sheets and several of their dolls were assembled and repackaged by the Dennison Mfg Company to be sold with their crepe paper line so girls of all ages could dress them up. Dennison sold these dolls assembled with eyelets and not the uncut sheets. I have a 1905 Dennison Catalog that shows they were selling the Ballerinas in 3 sizes. 5 3/4 inches (in 4 styles) - 9 3/4 inches and 13 3/4 inches (in 3 Styles) I know for a fact they were selling this particular blue ballerina since she is pictured on page 22 as a Lamp Side Screen; which was created using the blue ballerina and Dennison Crepe Paper. The instructions call for the No. 23 Dennison Jointed Doll from page 52 (the 9 3/4 inch doll) So here is what my little beauty looked like after I removed her brads. Yup, mine was not a Dennison eyelet assembled doll so she was very easy to take apart. L&B Created 7 Ballerinas that I'm aware of so far but there could be a few still out there that I'm waiting to be surprised by. Of those 7 I know of three that could be purchased from L&B on attached uncut sheets. So for now I'm assuming those 3 ballerinas were also sold by Dennison since the blue ballerina is among them. The real question is what was the 4th mini ballerina they were selling??? L&B Sheets 2844 & 2849 Ballerina Heads and the matching Ballerina Limbs as uncut sheets This seems to be a set of the smaller 5 3/4 L&B Ballerinas as uncut sheets of these paper dolls. These are the smaller dolls since they are wearing necklaces just as my mini blue doll does. The larger sizes of these ladies I've seen do not were necklaces, but they could also be purchased as uncut sheets. So here is what my little un-assembled cutie looked like after a bit of digital adjusting. EKDuncan digitally altered L&B vintage paper doll - original hairstyle My doll did not come with the correct ballet limbs and accompanying Prima Donna limbs were more of an electric blue than the aqua blue of her bodice, so I digitally made the necessary color correction that for this new posted version. I know eventually I will acquire a larger version of her as the ballerina she was meant to be. I just like her that much and I've discovered a huge difference in print quality between the mini doll and her larger friends. It's more difficult to get all the detail into that smaller foot print so the final image just does not seem to be as sharp as on the larger dolls. I promise when I do get a large version of her, I will rework her on a new post so you can have the more detailed version of her to play with too. For now in my "altered versions" of her I'm going to leave her with the parts she was purchased with and make her into a Prima Donna - Bloomer Girl even though that was not how she was originally created to be. Then again most of the L&B Ballerina/PD parts are interchangeable so you can make your doll whatever you want her to be. I also thought you might enjoy seeing the less curvy torso she came with for a change of pace if you're not a fan of the more curvy corset variety these doll usually come with. If you've been following my series on these L&B paper dolls you know they were mainly created c1888 to represent major stage performers of the day. I do not have absolute proof of who this doll represented but I want to think she could be Pauline Hall. vintage photo of Pauline Hall from the NYPL digital archives Pauline Hall was one of the better known "Prima Donnas" of the 1880's-1890's and with her pixie face, short, dark curls and popularity; I think she's a pretty good possibility as to be who this doll was meant to represent. *********** I chose to give my new digitally altered versions of the paper doll a new hairstyle; since I personally think the cropped curls are a bit severe for a Victorian Beauty. This is what the new altered version looks like when you view it side by side with the original. The original L&B paper doll head before and after digital hairstyle change. The original doll is cute but I prefer her with a bit more hair on top and hope you do too, if not when you print and cut your doll out just trim away the extra bun to retain the original cropped hairstyle. So Here are the new colorized versions of her with the new hairstyle - Enjoy! EKDuncan altered vintage L&B paper doll with new hairstyle - Aqua.

I'm having a bit of fun playing with vintage paper dolls once again. This time they are French "Pantins" from the 1800's and this is my third post in the series. Today I thought I'd bring you a fun set of vintage gypsy dolls. My adaptation of a vintage Gypsy Lady "Pantin" Jumping-Jack paper doll from the 1800's These set of Pantin aka dancing dolls are my updated interpretation of a vintage set originally created in France by Epinal - a well known printer of paper toys in the 1800's. I created both of these dolls from this vintage sheet of French "Pantins" from the mid-late 1800's that I found on the Internet at flickr. This and may other vintage Epinal paper toys can be found there. Vintage sheet of 6 Pantins - This sheet was posted by the generosity of pilllpat on flickr and can be found - HERE This is what the vintage sheet of dolls looked like, and though nice in their original and rustic form I chose to take three of my favorites and clean them up digitally so I could use them in craft projects. These old sheets are notorious for having runny and splotchy ink as well as flat, bland faces. I spent my time working on only the images I wanted to use so I reworked the gypsies in the middle and the the Scottish lass dancer (I'll show here makeover on the next post). I also chose to put in some extra arms in my versions so that you have more options on how to build your doll when putting it together. For additional options you can print a "reverse" of each doll just for more variety in how they look. For more information on how to put a "Pantin" doll together see my previous post - HERE My Pantin paper doll assembly instruction sheet on how to make them dance can be found HERE For comparison here are the before and after looks at the two gypsies. The original Gypsy Lady is from a sheet posted by the generous Pilllpat (Agence Eureka) on Flickr - HERE I did not want to take out all the old world charm from the original but I did sharpen up the image, cleaned up the coloring issues, and colorized her face so she was not "washed-out". I've arranged her differently, added in an additional set of arms in reverse from the original and created a second leg to match the other. (The two original legs are not proportional; it was especially apparent when you put the doll together with the legs side-by-side, so I correct it in my version.) My altered version of the Gypsy Lady The same process was done for the Male Gypsy The Original Gypsy Man image is from a sheet posted by the generous Pilllpat (Agence Eureka) on Flickr - HERE Once again it was an extensive digital process to sharpen the image, clean up the coloring issues and to give a bit more life to his face without removing the antique look of the piece. His arrangement has also been changed from the original to accommodate the extra set of arms and I altered his proportions a bit "slimmed" his torso and limbs so he fit together better. I like having versatility when putting together a jointed doll such as these; which is why I choose to incorporate extra arms on my renditions. I created the next set of png format figures digitally; but they will give you an idea of how you can pose your dolls if you are gluing them together or attaching the limbs with brads or eyelets so you have a "movable" figure. Her appearance changes depending on how she is posed and which arm selections are chosen. The center doll was "reversed" allowing her head to be turned in the opposite direction from the original. There are several posing options for the Male Gypsy including reversing his direction as seen in the second figure. Most computer printing programs and photo copy machines will allow you to "reverse" your image and I recommend adding that option into the mix if you are creating multiple figures. I know there are a lot of paper doll collectors out there who love these vintage images just for the sake of looking at them but these are so much fun to create with. They would make great children's projects of all kinds including: Christmas ornaments, package decoration, frig magnets and even wall art. I'll be making some jointed with brads to be stage characters for an upcoming Toy Theater creation I've got rolling around in my head. I hope these revised images get a lot of play time and that some of you will be kind enough to leave a note on the blog to let me know how you are choosing to craft with them. I'm really looking forward to that, so please do. Next time I'll bring you the Scottish Lass and possibly a friend so don't forget to check back in as I continue adding Pantins to the growing collection. Till Next Time...

"Women think of all colours except the absence of colour. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony." ~Coco Chanel I'm sorry that I have been missing in action for so long. I had such ambitious plans for October - which was my first mistake - ambitious plans always lead to one thing…the flu. It's like the universe knows you have things to do! I have been sick for weeks and struggling to get even the tiniest errands done. Well I am on the mend now and while I haven't been able to take any new photoshoots I do have some new treasures to share with you in the Etsy Shop and I thought for fun (and because it is the right season) that I would share some of my favourite pictures from my NOIR pinterest board. I am a pastel girl all the way - I can't bear to have really bright colours in my home. In direct contrast to that preference though I rarely wear pastel colours. I have dark hair and I just seem to gravitate towards darker colours. I wear lots of black! Black sweaters with rhinestone buttons, black skirts with pleated fringes, black blouses, and don't even get me started on black tights. I loooooooooove fancy tights. :) I will have to do a post about it soon. In the meantime I hope you like these pretty pictures. Because they are on my pinterest board I haven't the faintest where most of them came from but if you browse on pinterest you might have a better chance of discovering the links. There are some beautiful tumblr blogs out there! Oh and be sure to stop by the shop to see the new pretties!
