Named after Poire à la Beaujolais, the French winter dessert of pears and wine, this classic costume evokes sugar, spice and everything nice about our Enfantine dolls…

Beloved doll sewist Patti Williams has distilled her knowledge of historic fashion into this 1860’s underpinnings kit which creates the silhouette for the Huret/Rohmer dolls, both antique and reproduction.

Based on research into real garments of the era, these patterns are exact duplicates of what the “turned-out” enfantine doll would have worn during that time period. The kit includes everything needed to create a seven piece set of underpinnings for your antique and artist made enfantine style dolls.

Included are all the materials to create the underpinnings ensemble for either the classic reproduction Huret doll on a 14-15” jointed resin body or the Carmel Doll Shop Carl Armstrong reproduction Rohmer doll, Mlle. Mathilda. Two separate patterns (one for each doll mentioned) are included in the kit with materials to make one costume. With some adaptation, these underpinnings will also fit antique dolls.

The set includes the following: fine white cotton chemise, pantalettes, corset cover and a cotton poplin upper petticoat. Additionally, there are patterns for a corset with decorative red stitching and edging, a red cotton flannel petticoat with decorative embroidery, and a hoop skirt. 

This set is wonderful as underpinnings or as a lovely display costume.

The kit includes two paper patterns, high quality curated materials and helpful instructions. Also included, is a bonus pattern (without supplies) for a crocheted version of the crinoline / hoopskirt.
