NOTE THE COAT
Ever wanted an outfit but just never got around to getting it as there were many other outfits you wanted more? There are SO many Francie outfits I wanted that ‘Note The Coat’ always got passed over for something else, but I always really loved its simple, clean lines and that wonderful bark-like texture of the crepe fabric! I also LOVE those short 60’s double breasted coats, and the fact that its white reminds me of something that Courregés or even Valentino would have done, as in that famous all-white collection he designed in 1968. This coat of course, was released a year earlier, as Francie was always a trendsetter! I decided to go ‘all-white’ here and do a typical 60’s head-to-toe monochromatic look on my 1966 bend-leg Francie, using the stylish white cotton hat from the later ‘That Girl’ doll from 2002 and the white pleather pants from ‘Leather Limelight’. She also borrowed Tressy’s camera for the day, as I needed something black, white and graphic swinging from her arm! I may do another look without the pants and substitute some space age white Mod boots next…
