Your dolls are all gorgeous Denise! I am in love with your Bru Jne girl! She is breathtaking

[@clarefoskett9959]

This is so interesting. I had sadness in my life and put my dolls away. This was after attending classes with a teacher, who made the doll parts. I learnt how to gently rub them down, then they were fired. I learnt how to pain the faces, hands and feet. I remember the smell of cloves.. Work became priority. My inherited sewing box of delights was destroyed by vandals..I think my heart broke. Now, twenty years on, my dollie's have come out of the shadows. I unboxed them. They were a few of my treasured items taken into my next stage of life in a new abode. Thank you for showing me the way back home x.

[@MichaelCanadas]

My favorite segment so far!

[@adrianguynn5807]

I know I'm "late to the party" but had to say this was a fantastic presentation! I would love to see a series on the basics of costume conservation. I have things that need attention but leery to begin without expert tips.

[@MichaelCanadas]

Great suggestion!

[@rkatz4]

Your collection is superb, Denise! I particularly love and collect both early dolls and dolls with wardrobes, so of course I was blown away by Sara Harriet Denton. But I certainly wouldn't say no to any of those gorgeous bisque creatures, either. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing dolls, clothing, accessories and your extraordinary knowledge of fashion and sewing.

[@1971_happylifedog]

So wonderful to see Denise! I own and love her book Victoria the Enduring Legacy of Lady Alexander. I own 2 French fashion dolls whom I sew for. Thanks for another wonderful video.

[@MichaelCanadas]

Wonderful!

[@claudiamandini]

Love your work!

[@MichaelCanadas]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ChellyWood]

I'll be attending the World Doll Day event this year in Bellevue, WA, and I will be doing a blog post about it. May I embed this video on my website, Michael? It may help promote this year's event.

[@MichaelCanadas]

Yes you can ! looking foreword to meeting you in Bellevue come buy and say hi !

[@TootlesTart]

Here again. Can never get enough Huret and Rohmer. Would love detailed views of Blondinette’s white tulle bonnet.

[@61moss]

Grazie mille!! thanks so much!

[@MichaelCanadas]

Thank you for tuning in !

[@dakotatwilight]

I absolutely love Denise's girls. What struck me about Miss Viktoria "ballgown " set, is it reminded me of a confirmation dress, seeing as her wardrobe was French that it would be white or cream as she would have been Catholic/Church of England. It would then be able to be used as a Debutante dress and as a bridal gown as well. The flowers are reminiscent of orange blossoms. As for the black dress it would have been mourning dress but what is known as half-mourning, which was used after initial mourning, often when a close relative passed away. Though Denise's take I like better of being fashionable. I am also in love with the small Bebe's and their homemade dresses. I need to get Denizens book soon.

[@MichaelCanadas]

Good input thank you !

[@deniseleite7613]

Sou apaixonada por bonecas de porcelanas tenho uma pequena coleção aqui

[@marcomama1]

I wonder if Spoonflower could do a small scale fabric?

[@pamelamorgan2866]

Yes! Every doll has to have a crochet sweater.

[@MichaelCanadas]

They should !

[@picizsiraf]

Where can you download the tailoring patterns mentioned at the beginning of the video?

[@gellrb56]

[@theotigge8336]

1:08:38 Hello Michael, 20 French Francs was not an average worker´s monthly salary in the 19 century in France!! 　 I did study about it when I was in University more than 50 years ago. Annual income of ordinary citizens in France in the 19th century: In those days, there was no inflation, and there was almost no change in prices or income between 1810 and 1880. 　The average annual income of a civil servant was 1,300-1,400 francs, that of a craftsman was 600-1,000 francs, and the lowest class was about 400 francs.

[@MichaelCanadas]

Thank you for the input !

[@victoriasaper1625]

So Michael, sensibly wears white gloves to handle things. Why doesn’t Denise?

[@MichaelCanadas]

She was being a bad girl !

[@victoriasaper1625]

@@MichaelCanadas I think anyone handling the dolls and accessories in your fabulous museum, should don a pair. And now that we are in the age of Covid, plastic gloves are SO AVAILABLE and won’t hurt any fabrics, just a thought. It’s like wiping your feet on the entrance mat and taking your shoes off if there are hardwood floors. If you don’t do that in most of Europe, you are considered I’ll mannered. I nearly screamed when I saw her handle the first legged doll and the original fabric. Ok thanks for listening to me.
