What a cheerful splash of color on a cold and gray winter's day! Your *own* charming Bleuette will stay cozy and warm in my adaptation of the LSDS pattern, Paletot dernière mode Béret en drap. This translates to "fashionable coat and beret". I used 100% wool in a luscious shade of lipstick pink. This lovely fabric is unusual in its shade of color; just slightly on the drab side-just enough to give it a wonderful vintage quality. I used a wool crepe in cream for the collar. It contrasts perfectly and I then added a row of hand embroidered chain stitch. The lining is a lustrous charcoal gray rayon taffeta. I used the same fabric to line the matching beret. The pom-poms are ecru in 100% wool and hidden metal snaps close the coat behind them. As in the original fashion illustration, I have included a fluffy fur muff to keep her little hands warm. It is genuine; fashioned from a vintage fur collar. And to keep a draft from her dainty neck- a silk dupioni scarf in antique white. Absolutely charming in color, style, and finishing details! Buy with confidence when considering my designs! You will be delighted with the quality of my work. ~Kathy O'Malley NOTE: doll, socks and shoes are not included . |
