Enchanted Designer's Alice Coat

There has been a lot of buzz on the street about Etsy seller Enchanted Designer and her recent line of Alice in Wonderland costumes for AG dolls. We already told you about her blue dress, but this time we get to show you the blue coat! Other costumes from this line include the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen, and the White Queen. The items sell out occasionally, but she seems to keep creating them and listing them.

According to our research, the Alice project seemed to start off as a custom commission from an avid AG collector who wanted the outfits from the new film in AG size. So luckily for the rest of us, Enchanted Designer made extras for her Etsy shop. Huzzah!!!

So we purchased the blue coat (which Alice wears at the end of the film) to go with our Drommer0 blue Alice dress, which we posted about here. The two items weren't exactly designed to go together, so the bow around the waistline of the dress and the overall fullness of the dress sort of interfered with the hang of the coat. But it still looked good enough for us. I imagine the coat fits perfectly over the Enchanted Designer version of the Alice dress. :)

So for our photo shoot, Stella wanted to hang out with her Emily, The Corpse Bride, doll. Stella is our resident Tim Burton fanatic and she wanted to bring together "Alice" and Emily. For the initial images we put the coat over the Drommer0 dress, and for the later set we put on some Liberty Jane leggings, boots, and a Doll Closet top to go under the coat in order to show you 1) how it fits without our semi-bulky dress under it and 2) how it can also work as a modern Neo-Victorian coat as well.

Enjoy the photos!

Drommer0's Alice in Wonderland

Well, this should really be called "Stella in Wonderland" -- as Stella is our resident Tim Burton fanatic and she asked that she be the one to model this Alice in Wonderland dress from Ebay seller Drommer0.

This light blue dress is based on the one Alice wears to the main party in the new Tim Burton movie. Of course when she ended up shrinking herself the dress loses its place as her main costume, but it reappears towards the end of the film. We recommend the movie to everyone, especially in 3-D.

In our pics Stella is holding the only white rabbit we have in our house- a figurine from Red Rose Tea. Heehee. We looked high and low for a stuffed toy white rabbit, but we don't actually have one here. Which is amazing since our house is full of useless stuff like that. ;) But we thought the figurine was a cute thing to be holding. Stella loves everything about her new dress-- the satiny brocade fabric, the buttons on the bodice, the bow that cinches the waistline and ties in the back, etc. She said it is quite the fun dress to model.

Not to be counter-productive for Drommer0, but there are more handmade Alice dresses available on the market than just her examples (she did sell more than one on Ebay). Etsy seller enchanteddesigner also sells a similar Alice dress, as well as other "Disney-esque" costumes which are pretty fantastic. Clicky the link to see the Enchanted Designer version.

Here are our pictures of Stella in Wonderland, courtesy of Drommer0. Enjoy!
