Victorian Young Lady/She-Bear

38" tall (40" with hat) mink fur bear.  Body under clothing is wool coating.  Victorian suit is fashioned from an 1880 Christening cloak and Christening gown.  The silk, linen and cotton antique fabrics have a naturally aged patina (as they are 143 years old!!).  The cloak and gown were fashioned into a suit for this young lady/she-bear with the goal in mind to make it NOT look like a converted Christening cloak/gown, but rather a suit designed for a young lady of the Victorian era. She wears a blouse and bloomers that were made from the Christening gown.  The Christening cloak was made into a fitted duster and a tailored skirt with an ample back pleat.  All the original lace was incorporated into the design of the suit.  The Christening cap turned into a pillbox hat with the addition of a rose made of scraps from the gown, puts the "proper" into this youthful bear.  

 

This creation is not just a one-of-a-kind, it is a once in a lifetime creation for me.  I am proud of the design and how the results are authentic; fashion-wise both age appropriate and era appropriate. Not to mention her beautiful expression!

 

Included are all the accessories seen in the photos: the box with the provenance, the Elizabethan collar (or cap?  I am not sure how it was worn).

Finally, her antique lace-up boots are sturdy and help her stand up solid...a truly wonderful bear.
