Three wishes for Cinderella -  OOAK Popelka doll in her ballgown


 

Three wishes for Cinderella (or Three nuts for Cinderella, this is older and exact translation of the title "Tři oříšky pro Popelku" ) is probably my most beloved movie. This Czech-German coproduction fairy-tale film was made in 1974 and has been very popular in many European countries through 30 years. I myself watched it cca 30x times.... Christmas without Popelka? Nonsense!
Nice pictures of real costume you can see on German fansite : Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel  -  the author visited costume storages at Barrandov ateliers and made  some detailed pictures, for what I am very obliged.

 
Description
 
One piece dress for regular 12" Barbie.
  • The empire-waisted dress has one-piece bodice (the shoulder seams are not cutted) and bell-shaped skirt with deep pleats in the back  and a short train. Around the neckline and the  armpits there are attached  pink/white/blue  silken swirls. The dress is tighten under breasts with the white painted belt, and is closed back with hooks and eyes. The wide sleeves from two layers of the material (one layer looked too sheer) are gathered at the wrist, where they are beaded with tiny pearl-like beads.

  • The salmon pink train  with painted phoenix is sewn to the dress from one shoulder to the back opening,  to the other shoulder is attached with a tiny snap.

  • To the costume belong brocade covered plastic shoes and the beaded tiara. The necklace of clear and steel-blue beads is permanently attached to the dress..
Used materials
  • For the dress I used  wrong side of a pink/silver polyester brocade, called "Ideal";
  • a salmon pink silk chiffon for the sleeves and train;
  • a pink fine silk as lining of the bodice;  a fine ponge of white, blue and pink colour for the  "swirls"; and a bit of white starched silk for the belt.
