Bleuette wants you to see her ensemble for the gala.
Note how stylish she looks in Dollfancier's interpretation of the evening gown in Bluette Clothing Patterns by Louise Hedrick and Barbara Craig Hilliker (pp 136-140).
Beaded felt evening slippers, bottom right, complete her look.
While reasure hunting at Bell'Occio, San Francisco, I discovered the perfect ribbon for her sash even before I knew I would make this ensemble. Trust your instincts when faced with the possibility of adding something, be it fabric, ribbon, or buttons...
Embroidery and hard-to-find 2mm sequins embelish the both the tunic and skirt.
The lining of the satin tunic is Muga Silk! Laura Anderson Barbata, extraordinario artista, donated the remnant of this fabulous fabric from her work with the Brooklyn Moko Jumbies.
Muga silk is popularly known for its natural shimmering golden color and its sumptuous royal, heavenly and sensual look. It is the second costliest fabric, after Pashmina silk, in the world.
Only the best for Dollfancier.
