Black hair in a sleek, graceful updo. Two long curls frame her face. Full repaint with artist quality acrylics and sealers. Original paint fully and carefully stripped. Light gray eyes enhanced by multiple shades of gray make-up. Dark red lips and nails to match. New "human" lashes trimmed and shaped to 15" doll scale.

Schwarovski crystals in fire engine red perfectly match the velvet of her gown. Tiny (size 13) sterling silver beads comprise the dangling earrings and the double strands of the necklace. Red Chezc glass beads are part of the bracelet along with some more sterling silver ones.

The top of the dress is made up of a multitude of black sequin arranged in swirls outlined by large black beads. The flowing skirt is made of over a yard of crushed panne red velvet. The startling color you see in the pictures is the actual color of the fabric. The light catches beautifully on the folds. A double wave of black sequin completes the edge of the dress.

The gown was not designed to be removed.
