Having moved last month, I am still going through the process of unpacking and settling in. In this process, I stumbled across a picture from the BHS 2001 A/R Costume Contest, of a Victorian child.
In the picture the green dress is made of velvet and lace. The style is reminiscent of the Victorian era, with the high collar, leg-o-mutton sleeves and the lace bodice inset. The skirt also has a lace feature towards the hem. The dress is accessorized with a matching green velvet hair bow.
To finish the look a doll in a custom wedding dress is included. This doll was a restoration project and loaned by the owner to complete the look. When I received the doll to work on, she was bald and only had underwear. The dolls dress also has a bit of a Victorian feel with the high collar and leg-o-mutton sleeves, but the skirt is much fuller. The top layer of the circle skirt is made of hand beaded lace.
