Queen Of Hearts

Queen Of Hearts is inspired in part by Lewis Carroll’s “Alice In Wonderland”, Walt Disney’s “Alice In Wonderland” and research into Marie Antoinette and was designed for the Fashion Doll Makeovers Yahoo Group Doll Swap and went to Colleen Malmquist.

Queen Of Hearts is formerly a Reproduction Barbie doll and has a breathtaking complete facial repainting using the finest in Acrylic Paints and Professional Sealers available. Hand rooted eyelashes and a full head of White hair both of which used Synthetic hair, 100 % original patterns, and Haute Couture sewing techniques finishes the entire look.

The Imported Italian Lace is then trimmed in hundreds of Red and Pink Czech Glass Seed Beads, 15 Silk Ribbon Roses and 32 Faux Pearls accent the pannier as well.

Also incorporated is a partial French Tulle underskirt to keep the pannier full and voluminous. The sleeves to the bodice are trimmed in Antique English Laces and matching Silk Ribbon Roses.
