KAYLEE

 
Ball gown of Kaylee from Firefly series for 12" Barbie doll - OOAK


Description Two-part outfit for modern type ("belly button") Barbie from episode "Shinding". 
I did not want to sew this costume (it looks like a wedding cake) originally, but Kaylee in TV series liked it so much, and I am not so cruel to deny it to my plastic Kaylee :-)
  • To the white half-circular skirt from a white cotton battiste were attached 9 rows of pleated frills. The lower eight ones were made from 3.5 cm wide chiffon ribbons. I had to dye the white ribbon peach in  Iberia dyes, because this colour was not available anywhere. The  highest placed frill was from the same material, which was used for the blouse. The skirt closes back with a snap.

  • The ivory blouse from a jacquard silk has the center front part  gathered in 4 vertical rows + lined. The bodice is embellished at center with a strip of pink silk with tiny "pearl" buttons and the frills  at the sides of the central part and around the neckline..  
    The pink silk balloon sleeves were painted, then embroidered with a golden bulllion and a yellow floss. The fabric on the bottom edge was frayed and then knotted. The blouse fastens back with snaps.

  • The hoopskirt helps to keep the shape of the skirt; the  standard Mattel's pumps were covered with glitter; to the outfit belong also the sequined purse and the lace edged stockings. The whole outfit is handsewn.
