Measurement: 2.75-3.0" in length.

They are ready to ship.

Decadent and Decayed Doll Parts Necklace with Pearls and Prisms by Louise Black

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 03:06:30 -0500

$84.50
This disturbing little necklace is both charming and creepy at the same time. I've hand-linked many vintage glass pearls to make necklace base and attached tiny, antique German bisque dolls bodies and arms to the chain.

These parts were recovered from the grounds of an old burned down doll factory in Germany so they are a little disheveled looking, but their aged appearance only adds to the charm of the piece. The focal point is a large, faceted glass chandelier crystal which measures approx. 2" in length. It closes in the back with a lobster claw and adjustable chain. The necklace measures 17-18.5".

This piece is ready to ship. Because this is similar to the necklace pictured, bead placement and doll parts may differ slightly, but will be just as exquisite. This is the last one so grab it while you can!

All findings and parts are very old and may have tiny flaws, which only add to the character and charm of the piece. Please handle and wear with care.

Shipping is USPS priority mail with insurance.

This striking hair adornment attaches to your head with a simple comb that has been hand-sewn to the underside of the corsage.

Peaking up from behind the collection of petals, are 3 Dusty pink ostrich feather. All have been hand-secured to a hair comb. Because of the weight, you may need to additionally secure this to your hair with a couple of bobby pins.

Measures approx. 15" long from base of corsage to feather tips and the large flower is 6" in diameter.

I needed something flattering to wear to my NYC TV interviews so I designed this look inspired by one of my favorite TV characters "Joan" from Mad Men.

This dress is super fitted at the torso with tailored bust, waist, and hip darts. The bust will fit someone with a size C cup best. It's completely lined (ran out of lining at one point, so the skirt and top are lined in different colors :) and has working epaulets w/ antique jet buttons, a high military collar, and zips up in the back with a nice metal zipper. The hem has been turned under and stitched by hand so there is no visible seam line.

The fabric is an amazing 100% herringbone cashmere wool. It's thick, perfect for fall and winter. The dress is on the short side, hitting at a little longer than mid-thigh on an avg. height woman (I'm 5'6" & a half). I wore this with thick black stockings, patent leather Pradas, with a matching patent leather belt (in photo but not included). It would also look great with knee high boots.

Size is Medium. Bust- 37" around, Waist-28" around, Hips 41" around, Length from shoulder to bottom hem- 32", arm holes- 11" around at bottom hem. This fabric does not stretch so please give yourself about an inch of wiggle room.
