Russian And Western Victorian-Edwardian Fashion For Dolls!!!

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

I wanted to start this little topic to share some of the gowns for dolls that I've made. Some of them are replicas from gowns that belonged to Russian and Western victorian and edwardian ladies like Princess Yussupova, Empress Sissi, OTMA, Princess Charlotte of Belgium, Marie Feodorovna and others, hope you like them.
I'll start with my most recent work:

Thank you!! Glad you liked them!!! XD Well, I only used the same pattern for the bodices of the dresses, only that with the Edwardian dress it was baggy. The skirts and sleeves were made with simple squares and rectangles.
