Feature of the Week

It's baby doll time again. This time is the turn for a beautiful floral print fabric from Liberty of London. It was such a delight working with this lovely piece of fabric, so soft and delicate. The quality of fabric is very fine that it is almost self-fray-checked. The print itself is so exquisite already but you really have to touch it to feel the quality. The little dress is finished up with fine muslin and lovely vintage beads.By the way, I hope you'll have a chance to take a peek on the current issue of Haute Doll Magazine. There is a few pages of interview with Gina. Plus, sewing pattern and picture tutorial from Bon Bon Blythe. =)Have a lovely Thursday!

Pretty Things

Finally, I've got some free time to go out. I've noticed that there is a lot of ruching going on. They are so beautiful and definitely add loads of romantic essence into ordinary objects. Found these lovely ones at Anthropologie.
Happy Tuesday! =)

Feature of the Week

I've always wanted to do one of those fabulous head shots. It was not easy at all! I tried to arrange the heads closer, bodies more tilted, it still seemed something was not quite right. But I'll settle on this one until giving it another try next time.Back to our feature of the week, this time is the lovely classic baby doll dress. Adorable red floral print and all natural muslin with a hint of red vintage beads make this dress sizzling hot!more to come =)Happy Thursday! =)

Feature of the Week plus a little note

Perfect! The sweetest dress I've ever made. I mean I still like the little cupcake dress a lot but this is my new favourite. Crafted of 100% cotton beautiful pink floral print fabric, it comes with lace and pintuck details on bodice and double lace trim on the body.

The Little Pink Flower Dress
Just a little note on a recent incident...
There were some comments and misunderstanding about my creations are similar to a renowned doll fashion designer. I would like to clarify that I have no intention to copy anyone. Certain basic elements are unavoidable in some great fashion style, like ruffles in Gothic Lolita and Victorian, the simple short dress with a low waist with big buckle in vintage mod. It is the worst to be accursed of something you've never seen before. Please understand that we all work very hard to create the little clothing.
Luckily, the lovely designer is very nice and we've came down to good terms. =)

Thank you so much again for your continuing support, my mushroom fans!
Have a happy Wednesday!
