These two dolls are set for the court clothing of 1520; one is in the English style and the other is in the French style. Both styles became popular in the early 16th century in both English and French courts respectively and are synonymous with the period. Since there were differences in style of court dress, especially hoods/ hats will denote the political faction one supported during the time. So these styles are more fun for us to replicate but in their time had more meaning to specific allegiances contemporarily.
I also themed the dolls in specific colorways based on the Sun or Moon. So the English doll is golden colors for the Sun. The French doll is following silver colors for the Moon. Which has been fun planning the faux fur usage for these, which has been a nice change from the dolls that are set later in the century. The theme was really fun to think about and plan the projects aroudn. Additionally these dolls will have custom Unicorn companions that will accompany them. I ordered custom unicorn stuffed animals from Gift of Mercury, which makes custom poseable stuffed animals. I have a Peacocat that I ordered during the summer and it’s just the cutest. Sun and Moon I plan on having on my dresser. Although keeping my eye out for more doll cases for their storage.
Well that’s is the end of this rant of old versus new technology.
Food for thought,
Maureen
