Amazing Seamstress Tomi Jane

I have to admire these outfits from afar, as they belong to Tomi Jane who created them for her own collection.

*gushes* Oh, what talent! Such lovely use of color! Such wonderful execution!

Here the complete album for Tomi Jane's beautiful creations:

Again, lovely use of color, especially in the ribbons. The champagne color mixed with the ash rose is quite striking over the white, and certainly flatters Nellie's hair. I usually have a hard time loving Nellie and only bought her because she is retired. But I'm looking at her now with a new eye and what I see is so adorable.


I imagine this is not the easiest fabric to work with, so the execution is perfect. I wouldn't mind wearing a life-sized version of this coat! The purse is so cute!

Tomi Jane, you have some serious talent. I hope you one day consider letting us collectors bring your pieces home to enjoy first hand. ;) You can easily get a following like slds275 and Keepers...

Molly in Rebecca's School Outfit

I was never a fan of Molly until recently. I got her on sale from QVC. Her hair is quite silky and her eyes seem larger than Samantha's

Pleated Green Colonial Straw Hat

I have to figure out if I want to add any more ribbons or adornments. These bergere style hats were used by ladies to shield their faces from the sun.

Terristouch WWI Pink Dress

A lovely dress by Terristouch.

1914 Dresses

All three were made by Rachelesworld. She based the designs on real museum pieces. I wish she would make more as I would be first in line to snatch them. My favorite is the black and brown outfit, which has perfect proportions and a great use of color.

My 18th Century Bergere Hats Arrived

Ha! The dolls hats arrived. Yes, 18th century Bergere-style straw hats similar to the Felicity hats AG makes, but more historically accurate. Ridiculously hard to find. I will never reveal where I got these babies. ;) I look forward to decorating them with my mother.

Recycled Movie Costumes

I love this site! It's hilarious, plus the costumes are sumptuous.
