The dress
Well, I have come to the realization that I am not a dress maker. By pure chance this "dress" fit the doll. But I am still going to add a ruffled collar and a ruffled faux slip, with my mothers help who has extensive practice in tailoring.
When I showed my husband the doll. His first remark was that it had a Burton influence. And yes now that I look at it it really does. Tim Burton And Edward Gorey have heavily influenced my style.

i'm just loving this doll. had never heard of Burton or Gorey so googled them both. interesting the way you navigate on Burton's site.
ReplyDeleteAs a child my favorite films were Edward scissor hands and The Nightmare before Christmas. I just loved the colors, the styling, the innocence and morbidity in it all...very much myself. It is as if Burton and I are cut from the same cloth, a faded forgotten cloth.
