Splendor in Yellow





















The title of this post actually comes from the name of the pattern I used! Gary Fletcher designed a pattern for the former Tonner Doll Club years ago called "Splendor in Red" for Tonner's Fashion Jane doll. I've always been a big fan of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, ans when I saw this pattern, I thought it would be perfect for a modern day Belle. It took years to get around to making it, but I finally did! I made the gown of yellow dupioni, and Tonner's Winter Romance (Glinda sculpt) models it.

  2. Thanks, milady! If you are extremely patient, blue could be on the horizon in a year or two or ?? :-)

  3. Wow, Lori! This came out great--I love it in yellow, and Glinda looks lovely in it!

    What did you think of the instructions and the pattern? Easy to follow? Easy to sew? :)
