Darling
This is
Ladye Constance
Cullpepper.....but I call her
Darling. She is one of my '
Grande Dame' Queen Anne dolls, and is just under 2 FEET tall. All of my
Grande Dames are larger, with reproduction wardrobes that are made just like real adult size pieces. Even
ladye's Pompadour wig is removable. I offer special programs every now and then exclusively for my
Grande Dames and their owners~ like
Parties, & New Clothes!
Darling is hand sculpted
mache, with inset antique brown glass eyes. She has a very high forehead, which, in the first half of the 18
th century, was very sought after as a sign of royalty.

Everything, like on all my
dollys, is
hand stitched. Her
saque back gown laces closed
in the front over a brown
silke stomacher. She wears knit stockings, linen shoes with leather soles, antique linen shift, mull tucker for modesty over her bosom, petticoat, pannier hoop, gown, and wig. She also has
accessories like her
silke Bergiere bonnet, antique lace lappet, and green silk velvet shawl.

Her dress is a reproduction cotton c1840...BUT~ at this scale it is a perfect representation of the marvelous large scale bizarre
silkes of the early 1700s. She wears antique lace
engagents under her 3
tier sleeve ruffles

Here is my Darling readying herself for tea in the morning....she has not yet put her wig on, so wears an antique lace
lappet to cover her head
Grande Dames also come with their own cloth covered box, that matches (usually) their first dress. Above are some of Darlings pretties, on the lid of her dolly box(this is the inside)

We are off to the shoe maker again this morning....as her
very nice brown linen
latchetts are just
tooo plain...........
