I’ve been working on some new designs to debut at BlytheCon Europe in Paris this year! I’m really happy with this Rococo influenced design; a dainty confection in a most surprising color scheme. It reminds me of a Mod Marie Antoinette, so I’ve named it after the Dauphine’s nickname, Marietta.
Back to the bows! Hope to see you all in Paris!

The upcoming update will include my new Coralie Dress sets for Middie Blythe (pictured above), Kaleidoscope Dress sets in both Gold & Silver, the last Pocket Dresses in Spring Umbrellas, and the newest in my line of hand knits – Birthday Berets! One dress per colorway per person, please.
This will be my last shop update until after convention season. I hope to see you all at BCEU Paris in June or BC Vancouver in August!
Here is a handy dandy list of timezones for the update:
Thank you so much! ❥ Maggie
… bring May flowers!
The newest version of my Pocket Dress design, Spring Umbrellas, is available now!
• SHOP •
I was really happy to finally use this fabric because it’s pretty special; it is vintage designed by none other than Charles & Ray Eames!
In my experience, I’ve only found heavier upholstery fabrics in an Eames print, so I was double lucky to find something so lightweight and with umbrellas. hooray!
The other aspect that makes this dress a bit unique are the sneaky* pockets in the front colorblock section. There are two pockets and the buttons accent their locations. In this dress, Blythe can pick wildflowers, collect frogs, and hide her lollipops from the other dolls. They can also hold many of the adorable playscale printables by Bees Knees Industries.
I think the seed packets are especially appropriate!
Happy Spring dollettes! ❥ Maggie

Thank you so much!

I had an aha! moment while working on this last batch of dresses and I am changing the name of this design for the third (and final) time, I promise!
They will henceforth be known as Kaleidoscope Dresses!
There will be a shop update tomorrow with a few of both Silver and Gold colorways.
One dress in each colorway per person please.
Here is a handy dandy list of some timezones for the update:
I will be out of town this weekend, Friday Feb 13 – Sunday Feb 15, and will open up a commission list for each colorway of Kaleidoscope dress when I return.
I will be limiting the number of names I accept, but hope to open the list much more often.
Thank you so much! ❥ Maggie
Hiya kittens!
The next design I am working on is the Psychedelic Heart Dresses!
I first debuted the Gold version at BlytheCon Seattle. Pictured here is the Silver version.
The original dress had a different name, but I always thought of them as the psychedelic dresses. Once Erica told me they reminded her of 70’s band posters, it confirmed the name!
I am currently working on a batch for a shop update, then I will be opening up a small commission list for each version. I will be limiting the number of commissions I accept, but plan on opening the list much more often. No dolly should have to wait very long for new dresses!
I will also be trying out a new fillable form for commissions. Soon, soon, soon!

Happy New Year Lovelies!
It brings me great pleasure to announce the Macaron Dress commission list is complete!
If you were not on the commission list, there will be a shop update with four different colors of Macaron dresses very soon!
Enormous thanks to each and every one of my customers and supporters. I hope you all love your dresses as much as I have enjoyed making them for you!
What’s up next for Parasol Doll?
My next sewing project will be a blue/green/silver version of the psychedelic rainbow design that debuted at BlytheCon Seattle. The first batch will be for a shop update.
Then, I will be opening up a small commission list for each colorway.
My plan is to keep smaller commission lists for each design I am working on so customers are not left waiting for months and I can open them up more often.
