Beautiful in aque blue silk

The camera doesn't catch the colour exactly... it is a blue aqua shade of heavily slubbed Dupion silk.. I have smocked the sleeves, neclkine & bonnet in the blue thread with the white pearls highlighted against the blue/aqua background fabric... to finish I have used a vivid white guipure lace on the hemline, sleeves & bonnet edges.  Looks fabulous..

Salmon Pink ..

Turned out beautifully... difficult to capture the gorgeous salmon pink Dupion silk shade properly.. it is really enhanced by the ecru & cream Guipure laces & beaded overlay design on the skirt... very pleased with this one.

Two more sets all done & dusted..

There is no doubt that wide, rich, Guipure laces finish off a garment beautifully.  These sets are both heavily smocked with pearls on the neckline, both sleeves & the bonnets. A matching white embroidered motif on the skirt of the 'Duck-egg blue" dupion silk gown finishes it  to perfection.  These are all sets in readiness for 'reborn babies' in the USA. Only 6 more sets to do ....

Tiny Silk Ribbon Embroidered Shoes.

 Silk ribbon embroidered shoes, nothing more dainty & stunning for a "Naming Day" ceremony or Christening.  These have been worked onto "Sea Mist" Dupion silk with pink, blue & light green detailing. Pale green ribbons complete the project.

Little Lemon Butter Baby!

 

Magnificent result, even better than I expected. Bling & more bling for this set... tiny crystal pearls for the neckline smocking, sleeves & bonnet edging. Guipure lace for the hemline in a matching, rich, cream shade. Satin edged organza ribbons for the bonnet & gown.. & hand beaded skirting details, this is perhaps one of the prettiest sets I have ever done in this lovely Dupion silk..

Almost tiny shoes!

 Been busily silk ribbon embroidering a pair of tiny reborn doll shoes. They are worked onto "Sea Mist" Dupion silk.  Today should see them completed with ribbons & ready for the Show.

Christening Gown

A beautiful white, self striped, voile gown using pearls, smocking, lace collars, heart shaped lace inserts on the sleeves with lace insertion for the sleeve bands. Any baby would look adorable wearing this one...A lovely heirloom for generations to come...

Riding Hood Red!

One bright red dress & the other soft lavender with smocked bodices & hand embroidered collars & sleeve bands..  Perfect for a little Miss .

Angel Set

A perfect little Angel set for a newborn baby... made of the finest Batiste with delicate 100% cotton laces.  Matching bloomers make it so pretty.  The smocking is done in a pale pink thread...

Lavender Loveliness

Been having lots of fun with lavender fabric & hand embroidered lavender flowers today ... a few bits to finish but wanted to show progress this far.  So pleased with the collars & sleeve bands.. they all came up a treat...

Beautiful in Blue.

Adorable model for my latest creation with pearl encrusted smocking on the neckline, sleeves & bonnet. Bloomers underneath... all finished with a rich Guipure lace hemline. 

Lots more .....

 Been having lots of fun this week. Made up these 5 sets, just need to finish shoes for the blue sets & one bonnet for the cream set.. the pearls look fab on the pink, blue & white sets... chose pink pearls for the white & white pearls for the blue & pink sets...
