| Many movies set in the Victorian Era portray flamboyant widowed heroines.
Ladies like Scarlet O'Hara who risks her reputation to dance with Rhett
Butler at the confederate ball. The elusive Lady Harburry in The Importance
of Being Ernest is so altered upon losing her husband that she is said
to look 20 years younger with hair turned gold from grief. And of course
who can forget the unsinkable Dolly Levi played by Barbra Streisand
in Hello Dolly. We created a magnificent mourning costume fit for a
heroine. The bodice is low cut to show off her figure with extravagant
accessories to display her joie de vivre.
You can create an exact duplicate of our model with the fabulous
MERRY WIDOW KIT. This superb collection includes a rich parasol stick
made exclusively for Paradise with rhinestone and pearl top. A silver
filigree cone is included for the parasol tip. Accessories include
adorable moveable silver fan, tiny silver filigree purse handles and
chain. A tiny cameo is used at the throat and a large 1 3/4"
cameo (assorted styles) trims the hat. Genuine Austrian Crystal dangling
earrings were also made just for us.
Made of shimmering rayon thread, the dress is trimmed with jet jewels
just like the Victorians wore. You will receive pre-strung rocaille
beads, pre-strung 3mm beads and even pre-strung sequins that slide
directly onto your crochet thread. Fancy lace pieces, ribbons, gimp,
rope and sequined petticoat fabric are included to trim your masterpiece.
Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to recreate one of Paradise'
finest dolls ever. Our new Lady Paradise 11 1/2" fashion doll
models the gown. We chose Lady Paradise with red hair. She is created
with a unique inner skeleton covered in soft flesh-like vinyl for
superb poseability. You can create an exact copy of this vintage costume
doll using our fabulous professional quality KIT.
