about:
This is an original design based off the Grimm's
Fairy Tale "Snow White and Rose Red".
I wanted the designs to be cute and girly, but
somehow reminiscent of traditional German clothing
of the mid-1800's.
I selected a
beautiful velvet for the outfits, with matching
pale organdy for the under pieces, and topped
them all with antique gold accents. We were
very picky about having everything match. I
constructed the corsets, shirts, shorts, spats,
and overskirt. Jia assembled the flower arrangments
on skirts and headdress and painted the adorable
bear scenes on the front of the corsets. The
skirts are sewn with a connected petticoat of
8 layers of gathered organdy and organza - you
can see the alternating blue and gold layers
at the front of the skirt. There are matching
ruffles running along the sides of the shorts.
The spats and corsets have delicate gold beading.
