Philippa is a lady from around 1896.
She is wearing a Paris Autumn Toilette.
Outside it might rain, so she has a matching parasol, just in case...





The gown is made from two-toned silk: gold/red
The revers and cuffs are red silk velvet.

Under the jacket she wears a bodice made
of silk and lace, completed with a large lace cravat.

 

Along the hems and revers the gown is decorated with lace in a matching tone.


Hundreds of tiny gold/red beads are decorating the edges of the dress.

 

She wears gold earrings with a red chrystal.




Her hat is from the same silk and also decorated with the beads.

I used my own "Annemarie" mold for this lady. This mold can be ordered here.
