Atwitter for Regency: Terri's Touch Sea Foam Green Dress

Hola peoples!

Just another quick "Atwitter for Regency." 

This time Lira is modeling a dress from Terri's Touch. 

The green color looks as if it were made especially to match Caroline's eyes! 

But we bought this two years ago! Haha. :-D

Thanks for visiting us today!

Atwitter for Regency: DD Spencer Jacket

Sup peoples!

While others have already gotten their pre-order Caroline shipments -- we are out of luck. 

Maple says it is because our house is locked behind a magical force field.

I think it is because our AG shipments are always pretty slow.

It's so deeee-pressing.

So we'll stick with posting our Lira pics we shot this week.

Here she is sporting the navy spencer jacket with the ivory gown we showed you in our first "Atwitter for Regency" post this week.

Both items were handcrafted by The Dollies' Dressmaker.

We love, love, love this jacket. It is beautiful.
The fabric is great and so is the design.
It also snaps closed, so we don't have to worry about wrestling to get
those pearl buttons into buttonholes.
Also, we think it would work as a posh modern cropped jacket as well...
...but we haven't tried that yet....

Atwitter for Regency : Dollies' Dressmaker Gown

It's an exciting time for AG enthusiasts. 

We always love, love, love the build-up to new items being released. 

It's like group therapy, everyone can relate to each other and
talk about the same thing. Heehee. :-D

Us collectors are probably almost as excited to see and play with Caroline's stuff as the AG Team is excited to release it all. The AG designers, writers, and researchers have been working on this stuff for over 3 years. I bet they are happy September 4th is just around the corner, when she will be available online and in all of the stores.

(And of course, that means winter MyAG gear will release as well, including the holiday outfits and sets, and maybe some new items for the other historicals, like Rebecca...maybe)

In our own excitement about Caroline we thought: "Hey, we should really photograph some more of our own Regency collection."

We asked y'alls on Facebook about what we should do. Some of you wanted to see them now, and one person suggested Lanie as a substitute. Others wanted to see items on Caroline.

So we'll do a mixture, some outfits on Lanie/Lira and some on Caroline when she arrives.

Some of the outfits are clearly Regency attire -- others are based on human costuming, for instance BBC productions of "Emma." We aren't too finicky about being 100% historically accurate here, we buy and order what we like/want.

We pre-ordered Caroline, so hopefully she'll be here next week, fyi -- to start her modeling duties. ;-)

We begin with The Dollies' Dressmaker one of a kind set, this ivory gown and later, a post with the navy spencer jacket that accompanied it (which you can see on our Facebook page if you want a spoiler: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Doll-Wardrobe-Blog/181472528562468).

The dress is gorgeous and we could spend all day waxing on about it -- but a picture is worth 1,000 words.....

Lira makes a pretty good temporary Caroline, and she was happy to model for us.

Just don't tell Maple that Lira will be featured on the blog for like a week and a half.

Also don't tell Maple we used her nautical brass items collection for our tabletop display....
