PrImItIvE ViNtAgE StyLe DoLL VIVIANNE



PRIM BLESSINGS AND WELCOME TO MY AUCTION FOR THIS VINTAGE PRIM DOLL. SHE IS A TREASURE AND SO UNIQUE. HER NAME IS VIVIANNE. SHE IS APPROX. 25 INCHES TALL.THE DESIGNER OF THIS BEAUTY IS EMILY FRANZ. AS A CRAFTER I MADE A FEW CHANGES TO HER WHICH FITS THE PERSONALITY THAT I WANTED TO ACHIEVE

SHE IS DRESSED IN VINTAGE LACES AND BUTTONS . SHE IS MADE FROM FINE MUSLIN MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN TEA DYED. HER HAIR IS RED SPUN WOOL THAT HAS BEEN HAND CURLED AND HAS BEEN HANDSEWN ONTO HER HEAD. I ALSO MADE A ROSETTE FOR HER HEAD WITH COTTON FLORAL MOTIF LACE AND HANDSTITCHED A BUTTON IN THE MIDDLE AND HANDSTITCHED IT TO HER HEAD . HER FACE IS COMPLETELY EMBROIDERED EXCEPT FOR HER EYELASHES THEY ARE PAINTED.


HER CHEEKS ARE DRY BRUSHED WITH BURGUNDY PAINT. SHE HAS A NECKLACE WITH A CITRINE LOOK ROUND STONE THAT I PUT TOGETHER MYSELF AND IS VERY CUTE. THE LACE ON HER BODICE IS PART OF THE BODICE IT WAS SEWN IN WHEN THE DOLL WAS MADE., LIKE A BODY SUIT. THESE LACES ARE VINTAGE. THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF LACE ON HER BODICE AND IT IS EMBELLISHED WITH MOTHER OF PEARL BUTTONS AND OTHER VINTAGE BUTTONS. THE GLOVES ARE MADE WITH HIGH QUALITY COTTON CALICO IN A MINI ROSE DESIGN THAT HAS BEEN STUFFED AND IS HER ACTUAL ARMS AND HAVE BEEN SEWN ON AND LACE WAS HANDSTITCHED AROUND THE TOP OF THE GLOVES. NO PANTS ON THIS DOLLY.
THE SKIRT IS HANDGATHERED AND PLACED ON THE DOLL AND SECURED. HER FEET ARE PAINTED IN OFF WHITE AND I ADDED A CROCHET THREAD BOW ON THE TOP OF THE SHOES.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST HER DRAWSTRING BAG, ALL HANDMADE WITH VINTAGE LACE. THERE IS A VINTAGE BUTTON ON THE BAG AND A POCKET WHICH I ADDED A RUSTY PRIM HEART. VIVIANNE WAS A PLEASURE TO CREATE AND VERY HARD TO PART WITH. I KNOW I WILL BE CRAFTING ONE FOR MYSELF. SHE IS JUST STUNNING!!! SHE IS SIGNED, DATED AND NUMBERED AND COMES WITH A PRIM TAG.
