He was part of a generation who created clothes to beautify women as opposed to simply "creating" or "making a statement." <br />The secret to Janice's dress is really quite simple. It starts with the choice of fabric, which in this case is a striated chiffon that adds to the airiness of the look.april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558646734577104063.post-57489669389537779122018-03-16T13:19:12.809-04:002018-03-16T13:19:12.809-04:00Thank you so much Phyllis.

There are other variations of her but for me, this one is special because she is the only one with super short flocked hair.

I think part of the fun is trying to match the doll to the celebrity. Of course their bodies are often different, so there lies the challenge! This is always a fun project that now, in its fifth year, has become an anticipated post here on my blog. And yes...I am so sad that such an extraordinary fashion icon has left this world. april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558646734577104063.post-88300009446884854562018-03-13T13:25:58.959-04:002018-03-13T13:25:58.959-04:00Thank you so much.

I even had to cut the sleeves twice because the first set wouldn't fit over the shirt! The bow tie was another pain, but at the end of the day, I was pretty happy with the results. Grace's gown turned out much better than I anticipated given how almost boring the original dress was. The most difficult was working with the fabric which was crazy slippery. And it is lined! <br />Mr. Givenchy touched so many lives. It is difficult to put into words what I feel over his passing. I'm just happy I was part of the fashion scene in Paris while he was still quite active. april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558646734577104063.post-71727160527916934492018-03-13T07:08:41.896-04:002018-03-13T07:08:41.896-04:00Podziwiam zarówno przepiękne stylizacje i nadzwycz...Podziwiam zarówno przepiękne stylizacje i nadzwyczajne kreacje jak i idealne dopasowanie lalki do modelki!
