New Fascinator!

This week I have been working on a new fascinator. I was sitting here one night watching Alien3 slowly getting bored (lets face it Alien is the only good one) and I started putting this together. I often sit in front of films and put together pieces like this, I find it calming and a great bad film distraction. This fascinator is extremely versatile, it could be for brides, a day at the races, prom or even just to add a little something to an outfit. I love glamour and I want the women wearing my designs to feel as beautiful as Elizabeth Taylor or Marilyn Monroe. 

The fascinator has a black base which is adorned with luxurious organza corsages and beads. The netting is a light beige colour and covers the face to add a vintage touch.

Evangeline Veil

Finally, Evangeline is finished! After a week of stabbing my fingers and sweat dripping from my forehead, the veil is finally finished!

I sewed every little bead on by hand with a great deal of patience, which is unusual for me. I sat on my bum for days and days sewing, listening to my vintage playlist and watching cheesy movies.

I love sewing but it's hard on my body, this project took everything I had and more! I am extremely happy with the result and I cannot wait for it to go to a new home (it will be on sale very soon). I hope you like my new veil as much as me!

Work Update

Hello! I have been working extremely hard these last few weeks on my new bridal collection. I have been surrounded by Tulle, ribbon and beads! I have been posting up photo updates recently so I thought I would share some photos of my new project Evangeline.
Evangeline is a headband veil adorned with petals and pearls. I still have a lot more beading to do! Golly! I will be doing a photo shoot in a few weeks and my new work will be on sale shortly after that... Yesss!

Bridal Wear!

New work!

I have been working on this bridal headband/belt for a week or so. It is made from organza petals which are adorned with many different beads and pearls. The headpiece is tied to the head or waist with a long satin ribbon which looks extremely elegant and luxurious.

New Business Cards!

Doll Doll Dolly is about to go under a complete make over! I have been sitting here all morning editing photos and putting together a design for my business cards (above). I have decided to go back to making beautiful handmade accessories and I will be introducing my bridal range this summer! I am so excited! I have been working on new and exciting designs the last few weeks and putting together a business plan to present to the Prince's Trust. I started Doll Doll Dolly as an accessories label so I have decided to concentrate on my original idea and just go for it! I am Petrified!

I have been designing new accessories for my next collection and I have also been working with new elegant materials. I love to experiment with new techniques but sometimes it can be extremely difficult to get it right. My new bridal range is my baby right now, I have been working on veils and new elaborate headpiece! I will be working on a new blog design this weekend to go with my new look! I will also be having a SALE in my etsy shop to officially say goodbye to my old look. Happy Friday everyone!
