Alright, I confess, I made this princess just for her dress. 😉
I really wanted to try out a favorite lace pattern of mine for her lovely rippling ballgown. I think the finished result is stunning!!
She stands just shy of 8in tall. Her thick chocolate hair is drawn back into a lovely bun, with her wavy pony tail flowing over her shoulder as she spins and twirls on the dance floor! The fairy tale classic charm has not been lost in the simplistic beauty of her little turned up smile!
For some reason, this doll seems to posses a strong draw for the fingers of my 2yr. sister… She wants to finger the lacy gown, explore her little shoes, play with the curls in her pony tail. I feel bad, but I've had to hide her away from little sister. 🙂
All pieces non removing and stitched tightly! Safe, interesting and fun for small hands.
Belle is completely natural, being stitched in soft Peruvian wool and stuffed with clean, fluffy wool from our very own flock of sheep! 🙂 (To see the wool stuffing process, check out the bottom picture: 1. First cuddle the soft sheepie to reassure em. 2. Then shear the wool off their back. 3. Next carefully wash the wool several times. 4 Stuff the fluffy, clean wool into the knitted body to bring the life into the character. 5. Finally: let the baby play and snuggle to his/her heart's content! 🙂
Wool is the perfect choice for toys, because it warms up against the body heat of the child's little hands and is slightly heavier, making the toy feel all the more life like. I've already noticed my little sister seems to really prefer these toys over previous polyester-filled ones that I've made her. Wool also repels dust and mites and is very healthy, clean and natural feeling; soft and warm.
Hand wash with care! Swish in warm soapy water, then in warm rinse water. Gently press out the water. Lay flat to dry.
Belle is ready to ship!
