Individual patterns are now available without fabric.
Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing any of my designs for private use.
The patterns range from beginner to advanced but the amount of skill required varies with the material you choose to use e.g. silk is harder to sew than cotton. The dates relating to the patterns are approximate.
In 2004 I produced a book about Victorian Servants, published by Myrtle Bank Publishing. The book contains 12 Patterns and instructions, plus sections giving helpful advice, instructions for basic underwear worn, shoes and boots and wigging.
The Victorian Servants included are:
Cook / Parlour Maid
/ Gardener / Housekeeper / Lady’s Maid / Butler / Tweeny Maid
/ Scullery Maid / Governess / Footman / Valet / Nanny / Laundry Maid / House Maid
Special dressed dolls are accepted on a commission only basis and need to be discussed with me in person.
I can work from photographs, illustrations or may even have an existing design to meet your needs.
Prices start from £50.00. A deposit for the doll will be required with your order.
I always have a selection of 1:12th scale dressed dolls available, from most time periods. Call me to discuss what I have in stock.
They include men, women, children and specials such as Father Christmas or people from shows or series, such as Pride and Prejudice or WWI Military People.
Assembled dolls are ready for you to dress. Straight legged dolls will stand once dressed, although you may have to extend an arm for them to balance. The bent legged dolls can kneel or sit as indicated.
All porcelain dolls, are internally jointed at the head, shoulders and hips.
Contemporary dolls made in the traditional way giving you a complete doll with porcelain head, shoulders, arms and legs with bendable calico body.
So you have your doll, but now need to clothe them. Perfect solution is to buy the clothing kit, not just the pattern.
