Frockdolly: My Kind of Girl...
http://frockdolly.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-kind-of-girl.html
My mother said I fell into a dressing up box when I was tiny, and never got out. Friday, 6 March 2009. My Kind of Girl. Oh Barbie, with your tiny feet and impossible proportions, I don't care that if you were real you would fall over, or that your perma-blonde hair and twinkly blue eyes might not be the best stereotype for young girls to have around (actually, no, that would be Bratz, brrrr), I just know that you're my little plastic friend, and more importantly, I want your clothes! But anywaaaaay, Barb...

Frockdolly: J'adore Dior...
http://frockdolly.blogspot.com/2009/06/jadore-dior.html
My mother said I fell into a dressing up box when I was tiny, and never got out. Wednesday, 10 June 2009. Cheer up Lily, its a marvellous frock! So maybe I'm just a little late with this one (blame my rather haphazard filing 'system', which consists of - so far - 5 folders, 2 bags and 2 box files of things I like, that I occasionally go through and coo at, but which are all supposedly destined to end up on here, be warned! Genius of mine, John Galliano. You can read all about the show here. A Dress A Day.

Frockdolly: Life's a Drag, and then you sparkle...
http://frockdolly.blogspot.com/2009/03/lifes-drag-and-then-you-sparkle.html
My mother said I fell into a dressing up box when I was tiny, and never got out. Monday, 16 March 2009. Life's a Drag, and then you sparkle. So I went to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert: The Musical the other day, accompanied by my dear friend, fellow Barbie-worshipper and partner in theatrical-watching crime, the lovely Anthony, and let me tell you, the costumes were FABULOUS, with a capital Ooh! And an Oh Yes Please! So where can I start? And don't be telling me you haven't even seen the movie. And i...

Frockdolly: She Who Sews, Wins...
http://frockdolly.blogspot.com/2009/03/she-who-sews-wins.html
My mother said I fell into a dressing up box when I was tiny, and never got out. Monday, 2 March 2009. She Who Sews, Wins. Are you brave enough to attempt making up a John Galliano pattern? You have great big fashionista steel. Well then, here you go. Ok, ok, so its not the frock in the picture above, more on that later. Now I was going to cunningly link this into some chat about the costumes worn by Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra, but I'm afraid that will just have to wait.to keep you amused during t...

Frockdolly: April 2009
http://frockdolly.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
My mother said I fell into a dressing up box when I was tiny, and never got out. Tuesday, 7 April 2009. Beaded Leeks and a Dress fit for a Queen. Why is it I never manage to make it to the Royal Palaces when they’re open in the summer? Especially when they always have so many frocks on show! But this year, I promise I will go, if only to try catch a glimpse of the dress above, worn by The Queen on her wedding day. Now, although this dress has an interesting story of its own. Well, here’s how. Now multipl...

Frockdolly: July 2009
http://frockdolly.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
My mother said I fell into a dressing up box when I was tiny, and never got out. Wednesday, 1 July 2009. Do you remember the. Do you think she's one? When I was but a wee frock dolly, I loved the floral stylings of Mary Cicely Barker, published at the beginning of the last century. It was only as an older (and some say wiser) frock dolly that I realised that the wee fairies were pretty stylish for their day (check out the Lavender Fairy, dropped waist 1920s styling ahoy! George Bernard Shaw 1856-950.

Frockdolly: I'm Frock Dolly, Fly Me...
http://frockdolly.blogspot.com/2009/03/im-frock-dolly-fly-me.html
My mother said I fell into a dressing up box when I was tiny, and never got out. Friday, 13 March 2009. I'm Frock Dolly, Fly Me. I spent a lot of time on planes when I was but a wee frock dolly, and although the food probably made the most impact (to this day I prefer my dinner in separate compartments! I cannot forget the beautiful air stewardesses and of course, their outfits! And their potential to suddenly take up heels and march on the capital. Anyway, if it wasn't for a lady called Ellen Church.

Frockdolly: Fun and Furbelows
http://frockdolly.blogspot.com/2009/06/fun-and-furbelows.html
My mother said I fell into a dressing up box when I was tiny, and never got out. Monday, 1 June 2009. If there was ever a man who knew his frills and furbelows, it was the French painter James Tissot (1836-1902). So lush and detailed were his pictures, they're frequently used nowadays to recreate historical fashions (I had. One on my wall at college), and all this for paintings that were often derided at the time for being, well, a bit tacky.frocks were for fashion plates you see (I know! Read It Swap It.
