Souvenirs from Wonderland

Nellie (who also likes to traipse around as Alice) has brought back some souvenirs from a tea party.

"I guess someone needs to take care of these teapots!"


"What's all of this?" cries Samantha.


Nellie-Alice: "These belonged to the Mad Hatter. The Queen finally caught him."


"Gasp! Does he still have his head?!"


Nellie-Alice: "Well, he still wasn't making much sense when I last saw him. (Probably all that mercury poisoning.) But I believe the Queen has just thrown him in jail. He asked me to take care of these pots while he was away."


Nellie-Alice: "Aren't they so pretty?"



Nellie-Alice: "By the way, my entire outfit was made by the Enchanted Designer. It's based on the new Tim Burton movie. The blue coat Alice wears can also be seen on Violet in the Lemony Snicket movie."




The purple walking dress Rebecca is wearing was made by Doll Clothes of Yore. Samantha's purple dress was made by an unknown seamstress. Nellie's ensemble was made by Enchanteddesigner of Etsy.

Doll Clothes of Yore Victorian Walking Dress

I bought this Victorian Dress from Doll Clothes of Yore. I thought I should show it off as it's a very well constructed dress. The designer has a talent for creating intricate folds.


The jacket is a separate.

Purple Victorian Gown

This purple Victorian gown is a bit oversized. So I have had to do some pinning to make it look more like an adult gown for Samantha.

Hmm. This is the closest I can get to an original historical style. If you find something similar to what Samantha is wearing, please comment!












This is what the gown looks like unpinned:

My Alice Costume

The dress Nellie is wearing is from the Enchanteddesigner on Etsy. See my previous post. I like the diaphanous material. This is best rendition I've seen so far. It so much prettier in person.









I found a comprehensive description of the dress from Rebel's Haven, who is attempting to recreate the movie dress.She does great research right down to the buttons, which were apparently procured by the movie costumer from Huscco Buttons.
