Večernice - Eveningstar - ooak costume from Prince and Eveningstar movie for 16" doll

Večernice - Eveningstar

(from Prince and Eveningstar movie)

The kindred spirit Vlaďka surprised me with her own beautiful version of Večernice at the doll collectors/customizers meeting this spring. When I saw her Večernice, how she stood next to Velen, I accepted, that the poor prince couldn't be without his partner :-), and quickly made this costume, that I planned for a long time. The doll was not repainted - I am not bold enough to try to paint the face of Mrs. L. Šafránková...
Btw -the pictures from the movie you can see here,
and Večernice (i.e. Eveningstar) is pronounced as V-E-CH-E-R-N-I-T-Z-E-(H)

Description

Costume for 16" doll Tyler Wentworth by Tonner.

All parts of the dress have two layers - the sheer, and the white opaque layer. The pleated skirt is of half-circular shape, at the back is little longer and creates a short train. The bodice consists of 7 parts, is lined and fastens back with snaps. The central front part is embelished with a vintage lace and beaded with small pearls and off-white tiniest glass beads.
The two-part lace collar is permanently attached to the bodice; to its outer circumference is stitched a steel "dental wire". The wire continues to the bodice at 4 points. (the wire has the "memory", although you can bend it easily, it returns to the original shape) The outer seam of the collar is hidden under a fine silver trim, and the edge is beaded with small pearls.
The trapezoidal cloak is attached to the shoulders with snaps, hidden under beaded buttons.

To the costume belong also the silver pumps and the crocheted silver chain with the wire pendant, covered with silver and blue glitters.
