This is Charlotte. She is dressed in 1550s Florence Italian. She has a linen camisa with lace collar and cuffs. The under dress is made of a faux silk that has embroidered flowers and leaves, the flowers have a velvet texture.
Down the front of the under dressed, and on the sleeves, there is a soutache decorated velvet ribbon that matches. The overgrown is an orchid purple with gold shot silk which also has a few of the velvet flowers from the fabric underneath to tie in the design.
For jewelry she has a pearl necklace with a Bee, with matching earrings. There is a collar that has purple cabochons, and a chain girl about finishing off in a pearl drop with a crown brooch centered at the waist. And Charlotte here there’s a written Rose wreath around a loosely curled bun.Charlotte really came together quite easily, and I thought I was going to have a difficult time with her outfit. I do have a nice stamps silk velvet in purple that I’m considering using for her and possibly one other doll. I just have to decide if I wanna make a layer the girls over all of this finery.
She is next to the other dolls that I have created, and I am getting quite the little courtly courtiers in my room. It’s been past time to find a curio cabinet but it’s going to be a challenge finding one big enough for all of these.
