Painted Doll

In the days before Sybarites, Superdoll used to to make couture to fit the Tonner dolls. I remember a lot of these exquisite gowns, many of them bridal, and have had the privilege and pleasure of seeing some of these at an exhibit at the Paris Doll Museum in 2010.

Superdoll being Superdoll would not let just any old Tonner doll model their creations ... Charles used to repaint, or rather 'enhance' their Sydney Chase dolls for this prestigeous job ... this is 'Maude', a Sydney that has been enhanced by Charles. She has been given a fabulous updo and sultry new make-up. She is modelling a gown which was a limited edition of three called 'Carnidiva' and was made for the UK Doll Divas 2005 doll club event. Three colourways were made ... hot pink, teal green and apricot. The masque and headpiece was not made by Superdoll but are made with fabric donated by them.

'Maude' is modeling 'Carnidiva' in the apricot colourway and neckpiece from 'Couture Salon' both by Superdoll. Shoes from Ashton Drake for Gene Marshall and masque and headpiece by Doll-Scum.
