Sweet,Swiss and Provencale
The title of this post sounds like a new bistro sandwich LOL! The earlier gowns of the BFMC Barbie line are the favorites of many. This gown from a Barbie called “Provencale” with it’s delicate blue and white pattern was originally worn by a short haired redhead.

I have never warmed to that particular doll in that dress. I love the dress and I love the doll…just not together. This dress, since it entered my collection, has graced the form of French Maid Barbie.
For a time last week, this gown was beautifully worn by the newly released red haired Poppy Parker. Hope you like the photos.
Model: Sweet in Switzerland Poppy Parker
Gown and Jewelry: Provencale™ Barbie® Doll
And just in case you needed even more drama in these photos….
Beautiful! Especially the B&W shot!

Wow, you definitely hit on the right combination of gown and model! The B&W looks like a still from a 1930’s or 1940’s Hollywood film noir. Magnificent!!!

I watched THE RELUCTANT DEBUTANTE this morning with Sandra Dee and Rex Harrison. Most of the outfits in the movie made me say out loud -“that could be a Barbie outfit!”. One of the outfits really looked like this dress!!

I need to pull this movie up on my Netflix cue 🙂 There are so many fabulous fashions in those Sandra Dee movies…I had forgotten. I am glad you like the photos!

Now that is one amazing gown. I really love your black and whites. Where do you live? Wish I could sit in on one of your shoots sometime and glean from your expertise.
Happy Monday! Tif

Thank you Tiffany! I live in the Pacific Northwest just outside of Seattle. It’s funny because I have been thinking of doing a youtube video about doll photography. Thank you for the lovely comment on my B&W’s . That has been an area in my photography, that I have really been working on improving.

Wowza, she looks stunning in this!! Fabulous redress!

You have the best props too! Love the chandelier and the opulent wall, with black and white checkered flooring in the recent Monogram photo, magnifique! I grew up in Oregon and my family is still there! Portland, Salem and Molalla, if you know where that is? LOVE SEATTLE! I’m so glad I found your site. Very inspirational!

Thank you so much for the lovely comments Tiffany. I am glad you found my site too :-). I am very familiar with Portland. One of my good friends Hilda of Bellissima Couture lives there.
