This is for an exquisite outfit hand-tailored in pure silk Dupion and completely lined for a 30"-32" antique doll. There are three pieces – a fully lined dress with attached petticoats (2) – a sensational ostrich plumed and rose trimmed with faux fur bonnet – and a cape with a brooch fastening. The whole outfit was made by a superb seamstress Eliza Bobkins – I have rarely seen such incredible workmanship, and exceptional detailing – must have taken forever to make!

1. The dress - This is superbly tailored with a drop vee-waist. It fastens at the front with a concealed zip and silk-covered buttons. The sleeves are trimmed as shown and all the inner sleeve buttons fasten with silk loops which all open! – I have added a photo to show this as it severely impressed me. The front skirt is again trimmed in the same fashion as the sleeves with a silk braided hem. The back has a wonderful sweeping train, again trimmed and surmounted with a huge bow. The neckline is trimmed with an antique lace collar. Please see photos for all three pieces or I could be here all day.

2. The Hat – This is wonderfully made from pure silk dupion and trimmed with grey ostrich feathers and a large pink silk rose, the brim is outlined with faux mink – again the whole bonnet is lined with silk.

3. The Cape – This is in pure silk dupion and is fully lined, trimmed with faux mink and fastens with a lovely brooch.

All these pieces are marked with Eliza Bobkins personal label.

I have received some much appreciated feedback:

"Yes, have just received the cape and bonnet - absolutely exceptional. I have only seen one other costumier who comes even close to this. Eliza's work is gorgeous and sooooo beautifully cut as well - the finish is exquisite"

"Wow, got it this morning - it is the most exquisite piece of work I have seen in a long time! I can't wait to see it all on. The hat and cape are absolutely wonderful as well. I can't wait to see what she creates next, do please email me when you have any more of these creations. "

"Received it this morning - absolutely gorgeous, love it to bits!!! She just gets better. I could make a personal collection of them."

These are just some examples of Eliza's work, all items are individual and created by Eliza as a one of pieces that are not reproduced. All items are hand made with love and care and could made to your requirements.

For your individual requirements, orders are being taken, all you need to supply is the size and a brief description or photograph to have that dream outfit created for your special doll.
