dark carolyn Aren't the costumes enchanting? It's as close to slipping our dolls back in time, as possible! Thanks for your lovely words!

eclipse21 Yes, this era really did have splendid clothing, didn't it? Fun to dress up like that, but our things are a lot easier to get around in. Part of the fun of taking romantic looks in the past.

eruantale001 Thank you so much! The Limhwa dolls really do seem to come to life in photos, don't they? And they look quite natural in modern dress as well as their historical fantasy clothes! She is indeed an half elf . . and here is a shot of her in another historical fantasy style . . this time in gorgeous costumes by S & K, and the exotic jeweled headdress is from our own Lachlana here on DOA.

more from me...

Vienna Ball Gown...(actually my FIRST ever BJD dress)























does this count as historical?

 

A curtain call curtsy, compliments of Kaida.....



I don't have much by way of historical or fantasy outfits. Kaida says I will have to see what I can do about that.

 

i love this thread! here's some of my dolls looking like characters right out of a jane austen novel in their regency style clothes.

ooo my turn!
Here are some of my favorite pictures-
My narae with a scarf from target


My DOT Shall in a hat and rocco style dress, both by me


My early attempt and something colonial-

 

I do make all my clothes myself. Thanks! I dunno about these. They are based on Medieval style, but if they are exactly accurate? eh...probably not really.

THis one is decently accurate peasant attire.


Probably not as accurate Guard Uniform


Fairly accurate 1700s rogue. Not the knives though.


1800s shirt and vest


Elizabethan fop

 

Here's a few of my crew in all different era attire.......






















All the best,

xen

Plane reagancy dresses


And finally, a tiny samurai

 

Some of my crew and hiritai's boy vin in Rococo gear I made. Ignore the non period shoes >.>



And a commission I did for a tudor gown:

 

I love this thread! Here are a few of mine:

Dreaming eye Roda in 18th century:



Beloved Chloe (dreaming eye Roda) in Regency:



BW Lishe in more 18th century:





Dollstown Ariel looking very "little house on the prairie" 19th century:




DOT Shall in Edwardian undies (and, yes, I definitely think undies count):



Can't forget the boys! Volks Amakusa and Lucas in 18th century:



Sweeney Todd in 19th century:




I hope you enjoy seeing them as I so much enjoy seeing yours!

outfit by Syphilde

 

newest creation


The Locksmith's Wife






She's a mecha angel Saiph.
Not mine but here for pattern work.

 

Andrae, my Regency gentleman

 

More of my Rococo obsession. This incredible confection by the extremely talented Robin Foley. I'm just still in a daze of joy that this beautiful outfit is mine now!

Modeled by modded sleeping Lydia. She had her eyes most of the way opened by Dale Zentner with faceup by me.

I just love this thread!

Here is my girl, Miss Dunn (an Iplehouse Silvia), in a Victorian creation by me
...actually the first dress I ever made for her...so be kind.

 

A few of mine...

 

Lilja and Halli in fantasy medieval. Lilja's outfit is by aussiedolls. Halli is trying to look like a viking in various bits and pieces I put together.

Eusebia and a Colonel Brandon satyr (huh?) cs playing Sense and Sensibility

 

I've this beautiful outfit made by kscness:

 

im not sure if this counts or not, but here is my MD Ryu, David, dressed in his "back-in-the-day" outfit. i cant give a specific time period because i am well aware it isnt historically accurate for any time XD



he's a vampire and was "alive" a while ago, so i figure its sometime in the past XD

 

Ignore the antlers and hooves. ^_^;; Here's Davlin in his normal attire. Broadfall breeches and vest made by lordjestocost. Belt and accessories by me, cravat by Dollheart, and shirt by another seller here on DoA whose name escapes me at the moment.

 

A victorian outfit that I made for a swap:

 

I made this dress by following the directions from Janet Arnold's Renaissance pattern book. The dress is dated 1550-60's. It is shown on my lovely Nefertari, Resin Soul Mei.



Same gown, more interesting picture and better hair.

 

Here are my Yugioh Dolls from "Duelists of the Roses" (Tudor Era):





I have since sold the Bakura and Rebecca dolls and their outfits but Seto and Serenity (Christian & Cecily) are still with me! ^^

 

Here is my MNF Shiwoo in a Gene Marshall outfit, with extras by me. (Black bodice, necklace, sash mine)
It was made as a Victorian outfit, but I tried to modify it for use in a pirate photostory. I'll try to take some of her in the original outfit on her Penny-Farthing bicycle. ^^

 

Here are a few of my period dolls in their costumes. I have yet to photo them outside in a natural setting. All of these photos were taken at doll meets.

Hannah-my Serving Wench


Anne Boleyn



Mary Boleyn



Gabriel as 18th Century Gent



The Countess Noelle Chevalier

 

I need to snap more pics of my garbed medieval court for this thread. They're about 80% accurate, which I think is an acceptable line between historic and historically inspired.

My court is all inspired by fashions from the early Middle Ages in Britain and Wales. (roughly 1000- 1350 or so AD)

Rowena, my noble lady.


Lir, who really needs a tunic over his undershirt...


Earlier version of Rowena in a sideless surcote.


Oh, and this isn't medieval, nor did I make it- It's apparently supposed to be a French National Costume, I'm not sure what period. It used to have a tall lace hat with it.

 

I can't believe I haven't added my Tudor beauties here yet. Any who, here are my Ros and Juliet

 

My 13th centuries project

 

Derek, in Romance of Venice by Dollheart, XVIII century:



Helmyra in Black Aristocrat by Dollheart, looks Victorian like.



Aubrey in Formal by Dollheart, late XIX century suit.

 

I've got Victorian costumes for all of my crew, but I've not done individual photos of everyone yet, and the boys are getting better hats, so I don't want to post the group photos I have. But here's Danica, in her 14-year-old girl's dress. She hates it, BTB.





And Fauna, who loves her dress:

 

This is a work in progress. Most of the pieces are Dollheart, with a bit of modification by me.

 

Nasrin, my Planet Doll Mini Tara (27 cm), in a 16th century Persian outfit.



Amara, my Planet Doll Mini Riz, in her pirate outfit. I can't get the blocking right on her wool hat, yet.

 

Yay for historic costumes! Here is my Yaret Fairfax, the 7 AD Northumbrian nobleman.

 

Gosh I love this thread! I am astounded at the talent here.

Thought I'd add some more. I didn't make any of these outfits..hangs head in embarrassment...

This is Claire and Luke (DOTs Shall and Lahoo) in Victorian with a bit of an unrealistic flair.



Edwardian Vivienne (Roda).



Lillian (DOT tender Shall) with a 1920s vibe:



And just have to add this very Victorian couple -- Walker (Dollshe Hound) and Lillian (DOT tender Shall).



I hope these are historical enough for this thread.

Jay

 

Ooohh I have some of my Lusion in Victorian attire:

 

omg I absolutly love this thread. I would love to get some renaissance clothes for my dolls but the best I have right now is Yuuma in this suit like looks like it's from the early 1950s.

 

My version of Paul Poiret tunic and pants-in cotton. I have the silk, but I want to get the pattern right before I cut it. I went with a narrow pant because the cotton wouldn't drape at all on my Planet Doll Mini Tara, Nasrin. I have found the right shoes and will be buying them soon.

 

pics from a Rococò meeting:

My outfits probably bend a little too far toward fantasy but most have historical basis. I am astounded by the beauty and skill so many of you possess. Unfortunately, I can't keep from sharing.

 

Our next meet up in STL is a pirate meet. So I thought that I would make my Mina (B&G Freya) into an Elizabeth Swann like character...because....let's face it...what fun would the pirates have if they didn't have someone to plunder.

The Dress and all undergarments were made by me. The wig was styled by me.

 

outfit by WickedStitchery

 

I can at last add my boy to this thread, as is proper.

16th Century Spanish Conquistador.
