Gold & Dark Chocolate

My friend, Star Fairymeadow - designer of Wretched Dollies - has always designed the kinds of outfits that I can change from gothic to historical to funky.  I'm sure sometimes she thinks I've lost it when I show up in a Dollies dress with uber spiked heels with my prim toes polished in funky colors. I'm so honored her latest dress is named Eleanor after myself.  Bless her, she managed to combine all the goodies I love in one outfit that I can mix and match to my heart's content.
 
Eleanor in Gold just suits my Steampunk side.  Gold brocade for the corset and ruffling the skirt combined with the warm gold dusted brown of the full skirt, corset ruffle, shrug sleeveless jacket, and cameo collar option is just great for wandering the garden or dancing the night away.  Add the delicate lace of the modesty shirt just because who can resist lace.  With Star's attention to detail, one can also wear the lingerie version with the lace and corset and ruffles.  It looks fantastic as a top to any pants you have in your closet. Did I mention there are darling cameo earrings included?



Options include two hat styles. A straw sunhat edged in white topped with peach roses and cream ribbon can be found in this classic black.  Bless Star - she also included 4 shades of hair just perfect to tuck under the hair. Love the look of hair that is tumbling out of what could be a "pinned up the back" hairdo. I always have trouble moving hair around to fit under hats like this and now I have "hat hair"!


Don't miss these shoes! Darling round toes with a chunky curved heel.  These are the Gold Dust Bow Pumps version.  Give Eleanor in Gold to yourself - besides who can resist gold covered dark chocolate goodness!
