OOAK Barbie "Romantic Stitcher"

Made to order from photos of the cross-stitched embroidery taken from the design of Laura Gabutti Lattuada .

Complete Repaint.

The dress, entirely made by hand, is composed of a skirt in white crushed velvet embroidered entirely by hand with light blue beads and an overskirt in light blue suede cotton with a drapery adorned with a composition of pink roses and beads.
The bodice, made with the technique of papier-maché, is in light blue suede cotton (the same used to make the cape) finished with blue trimmings.
The blouse is in white silk satin, finished with light blue trimmings and beads.
The ribbon on the back of the overskirt is made of light blue voile and then hand embroidered with the same ice silverlined and blue beads.

The earrings and the bracelet were created with Swarovski crystals and beads.

The embroidery hoop was made of maple wood and the canvas was cross-stitched by hand.
