As an exclusive for the Carmel Doll Shop Boutique, Jeffrey Cook of Maison Jeffrey has created a period accurate 1840’s Day Dress for our dear “Adelina,” Carl Armstrong’s exclusive KPM reproduction china lady.
Created from fresh, crisp printed cotton that features a lozenge in dove gray, charcoal and gray/lavender on a white ground, the one-piece dress features classic lines, a ruched bodice, long fitted sleeves with ruffed tiers that decorate the tops. Delicate piping finishes the neckline, beautifully.
A separate fichu from cotton tulle features a lovely splash of color in the form of ruched lilac silk ribbon. A removable belt in the same lilac ribbon helps secure the fichu at the waistline should you choose.
The final component is in the form of a wired hair ornament composed of delicate lace and more luscious lilac ribbon.
This helpful, user friendly kit offers interesting insights on 1840’s clothing, useful online links to tutorials on stitches and techniques and beautifully curated materials.
