I have been really looking forward to this event since I adore Paris!  I have some great fashions planned and I hope that the evening start time will make it easier for everyone to attend.

Peonies are a symbol of good fortune, as well as one of the most beautiful and extravagant flowers found in gardens all over the world.  They have a sweet, delicate fragrance and come in many shades, including cream, pale pink, and peach.  All of these colors combine in the fabric of this elegant coat ensemble, made to celebrate the new year.

People often ask me if it is difficult to find fabrics in a scale that works for such small garments.  While finding tiny prints is challenging, I don’t hesitate to work with large prints as well, especially when they are as beautiful as this fabric.  When a large print is used in this way, it takes on a different character entirely and becomes more about abstract shapes and beautiful colors than the actual pattern of the fabric itself. 

I love the rich colors of the holidays, but when I sat down with my fabric stash to find a fabric for my first outfit of the new year, I was immediately drawn to this one.  It brought to my mind the warmth of the sun in spring and the faint and elusive scent of peonies.  The colors are subtle, but so lovely together.  I chose a pale pink silk satin to line the coat.  Large, creamy pearls are used as buttons and a vintage pink flower brooch with a pearl center adorns the coat’s shawl collar.  The coat can be worn open or closed.

For the sheath, I wanted a simple, but elegant fabric that would complement the coat without competing with it.  I chose a very special fabric, a cream silk eyelet, the color and luster of which picks up the shade and sheen of the large pearl buttons on the coat.

Finally, the hat!  Made from silk peony petals, the center is decorated with a simple pearl, to match the coat’s buttons.  The hat is attached to a flexible pink silk band that can be adjusted to fit your doll’s head.

While modeled on Betty Draper, a silkstone Barbie, this fashion will also fit similar dolls such as Monograms, Poppy Parker, and Fashion Royalty dolls.

La Pivoine includes the shawl collared coat, silk eyelet sheath and peony hat.  Also included are cream gloves and pale pink slingback shoes from Dressmaker Details.

The legend of the bluebird of happiness is very ancient and one that exists in many cultures. The bluebird is a symbol of happiness, prosperity, good health and renewal.  These are qualities that are perfect for this holiday season of love and family and  inspired me to create this ensemble.

The fabric of the coat, imported from England, depicts cheerful bluebirds perched in an old fashioned Christmas tree decked with flowers and stars.  French blue silk taffeta lines the coat and makes up the shawl collar.  The coat can be worn open or closed and is adorned with pearl buttons.

An elegant sheath in jade silk taffeta complements the French blue lining, sporting tiny pearls at the shoulders and crystal buckle and French blue silk bow at the waist. 

An extravagant platter hat (attaches to the hair with straight pins) in French blue silk is covered in sparkly blue tulle in which nestles a tiny rose pink bird.

This ensemble is modeled by the stunning Tribute Silkstone and includes the coat, sheath and hat.  It does not include the shoes, doll or backdrop props.

All fashions are shown modeled by Silkstones, but should fit other similarly sized dolls.  Please do not hesitate to ask about the fit on particular dolls, and I will do my best to accommodate you.  Sometimes it is as simple as moving the snaps, which I am happy to do.

Each fashion is a limited edition of 2.  If you are interested in making a purchase, please email me your selection at

Poppy wants to take her dog Cherry to the tree lighting ceremony in the park and has given her a festive red hat to celebrate the season. 

Not to be outdone, Poppy has chosen a bright red coat in silk noil, lined with black and white checked silk dupioni for herself.  Coal black buttons accent the coat. 

A black and white floral sheath is the perfect complement to the red coat and black and white lining. 

A matching beret in red silk noil features a jaunty black and white checked bow and finishes off this classic, festive ensemble.

This ensemble is modeled by Poppy, but can also be worn by Silkstones and other similarly sized dolls.  It includes the coat, sheath and beret.

The shawl collared coat is fully lined in smoky amethyst silk and this same color makes up the collar.  The sheath has the kaleidoscope patterned cotton for the skirt, a French lavender silk bodice and smoky amethyst pleated cummerbund. 

A lavish necklace of Japanese Miyuki fringe beads in shades of blue and purple, and delicate earrings complete this look.

This ensemble was specially fitted to Silkstone Barbie, but will fit other similarly sized dolls, though perhaps not as well.  It includes the coat, sheath, necklace and earrings.

The fashion is SOLD!  Thank you!
