ARWEN - Requiem outfit OOAK dress for Barbie doll

Description

Two part dress for the 12" fashion doll.

Underdress has two-piece inset sleeves. There is the trim, embroidered with silver threads and little sequins and beads, sewn to the neckline and to the seam between the narrow upper sleeve and the lower sleeve. Lower sleeves were made from stripes of off-white silk (width 15 cm, length 20 cm); the piece was gathered to little folds on its one side, the other side was laid over gathered part, and then it was sewn to the upper sleeve. The dress is closed back with hooks and eyes.
Overdress is divided to 1 front piece, 1 back skirt piece and 2 back bodice pieces. Lined are only the back bodice pieces and the front piece in the same length as the back pieces. It is also closed back with hooks and eyes.
