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.

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:

Samantha's Haute Couture Dress by Dollies' Dressmaker

The Dollies' Dressmaker haute couture dress is a one-of-a-kind ensemble that comes with the original cape, frock, and rosette hat. I bought this outfit in December 2008 for a pretty penny from another collector, who had bought it directly from Dollies' Dressmaker. I don't know what the original collector paid, but I have observed Dollies' Dressmaker haute coutures go for $70-$100. This outfit, with its gorgeous detail and wonderful craftsmanship, is very likely the only one ever made.  I have rarely taken it out from its box, so it's in lovely condition.

Samantha's White Drop Waist Dress

The original Etsy listing by DollClothesbyEvie described it as a white drop waist dress with a stand up collar. The bodice and sleeves are from an antique dress. The skirt is an antique eyelet.
