Roísin (and her new regency outfit!) visiting manor houses

Doesn´t she look like she belongs there?

This (above) is Russborough House in Ireland at autumn 2017. I took photos at this same spot at autumn 2016 also. The Roísin was wearing her pet-en-l'air. And it was windy then. Like, really windy. Roísin could stand on her feets less than 0,7 seconds at a time, so it was a really tricky photoshooting session. (In the mountains it were of course even more windy. And we heard afterwars that actually there had been a warning of a dangerous wind on that day. So, it really was a windy day, I didn´t just imagine it.) Anyway. At autumn 2016 I had a real camera with me, but it was quite impossible to take photos. At autumn 2017 I hadn´t a real camera, but the day was perfectly not-windy. But it was raining...

Luckily there were shelters from the rain. (Russborough House is very beautiful in the inside, too!)

These (under) photos are taken in Castletown House. There weren´t windy at all (but there must be very drafty at winter time), but most of my pictures were bad because there weren´t enough light for my mobile phone's camera... Fortunately some of the pictures were nice:

She looks like she is a bit lost. But I can tell you. She is not. Her character doesn't allow a concept of being lost.

The staircase and the whole entrance area in Castletown is gorgeous.

This is the Long Gallery.

The chandelier - it´s one of three in Long Gallery - is from Venice. The chandeliers are Murano glass and they are a really unique thing. They look so candy-lace-creamcake-like, that you must either admire them or hate them! I love them.

P. S. Here you can find pictures of making this outfit and Roísins undergarments.

1800th century doll's dresses in (mostly) rural sceneries

And just photos again.

I will add blue silkribbons to Evangeline's jacket's front for closing.

I think this is as provincial as it gets. (She is in the walled garden of the Ardgillan Castle.)

Here we have Cinderella and a pumpkin.

More pictures of the dresses, Ardgillan Castle and Castletown House you find here and here.

Pet-en-l'air for a doll

Yippee! I'm back from Ireland with 160 (or something) photos of dolls in beautiful sceneries! I didn't manage to finish all my sewings for the trip, but I managed to photograph my dolls dresses outside four different manor house, by the sea and in the mountains.

Because I'm not in condition of (?) translating my thoughts to English, it's better to just load pictures now and write about sewing later. So. Here is some photos of Roísin's pet-en-l'air. There aren't any pictures from the back of the jacket, which is a bit stupid, because the point of the pet-en-l'air is in the back of the jacket. But there is reasons for that. I'll take backside pictures later.

Roísin in the front of Russborough House, Blessington (aa-aa-aaachoo, bless you), Ireland.

Because the silk brocade (synthetic) is heavy, the back pleats of the jacket doesn't fall beautifully. (I think the problem is in the material, not in the pattern. But we'll see it after I have made another pet-en-l'air from another fabric.)

More photos here, in my blog in Finnish. (But you know, pictures are multilingual!)
