Aristocratic Rider: Grace takes the lead with an outfit inspired by 19th-century riding habits. Complete with a tailored houndstooth jacket and a sophisticated brown riding hat, this ensemble is perfect for a countryside trot or a display of timeless fashion. Priced at $125, it fits Grace and similar-sized dolls like a glove. This outfit is the most elaborate and intricate ever produced by VDC, manufactured by Ruby Red Galleria. This ensemble is made to fit Grace or dolls with RTB101-sized bodies. It arrives with the completely tailored ensemble shown, including the riding boots, hat, and individually fingered leather gloves for $125.00. Packages also arrive with paper dolls and additional surprises in the packaging. This is the most dynamic ensemble we have offered to date!
NOTES AND PHOTOS FROM COLLECTOR LYNDA LOGAN: “Aristocratic Rider - Grace - The gorgeous white jacket is lined with fabric-covered buttons. The top is a beautiful neutral color and is form-fitted with working buttons. The jodhpurs are lined in white at the waist and have a hook & eye closure. The boots have a fabulous, solid working zipper and are easy to put on and take off. The hat and gloves are perfectly scaled for Grace.”

Wistful Waves Yacht Ensemble: Ellowyne Wilde sets sail on waves of nostalgia with our Wistful Waves Yachting Outfit. This exquisite ensemble pays homage to the elegance of maritime fashion, featuring a historic-inspired yacht dress that captures the essence of seafaring grace. Adorned with ornate gold buttons along the chest and wrists, the dress boasts a crisp white bodice that contrasts beautifully with the rich red accents and flowing skirt. The ensemble is perfected with a matching red beret-style hat and a sleek, color-coordinated umbrella, adding a dash of sophistication. While the shoes are not included, this outfit pairs seamlessly with a variety of boots and heels from your existing collection, ensuring Ellowyne can step aboard in style. Set your course for timeless fashion with this charming addition to any doll's wardrobe. Arrives with a paper doll by Di for $115.00 (Umbrella and hat are included! Shoes not included. This outfit is incredible with boots already in your closet!)
NOTES AND PHOTOS FROM COLLECTOR LYNDA LOGAN: “Wistful Waves - Ellowyne Only - The dress is fully lined in white and zips up the back. It’s a perfect fit for Ellowyne, Amber, Lizette, Pru, and Neema. It will not fit Grace. The nautical cap is simply adorable. The red heels fit Ellowyne perfectly and are a snug fit for Grace (tight at the heel). The heels are NOT included with the Wistful Waves ensemble, but they are available as an add-on. The umbrella is a substantial piece and is well-crafted and detailed. The canopy of the umbrella is beautifully embroidered. It opens and closes easily. The handle is chunky but brings stability that we don’t often find with this quality at this scale.”
Maritime Muse: Take a bold stride into sartorial sophistication with our Maritime Muse Outfit, tailored to fit both Ellowyne and Grace with impeccable style. This stunning ensemble is a tribute to the classic allure of nautical fashion, reimagined for the modern collector. The set features a sleeveless top in a radiant red hue, accented with a chic white bow that adds a touch of maritime charm. The true showstopper of this outfit is the incredible wide-legged pants, which cascade elegantly to create a silhouette that’s both dramatic and playful. These pants are designed to make a statement, featuring crisp white piping that outlines the generous hem, lending a sense of movement reminiscent of the ocean’s own rhythms. Complete the look with your choice of shoes and a matching purse, available separately, to navigate the seas of fashion with confidence. This Maritime Muse ensemble is not just an outfit; it’s an odyssey of style. The price is $60.00 for the pants/top. Purse is an optional add-on.
NOTES AND PHOTOS FROM COLLECTOR LYNDA LOGAN: Maritime Muse. Created for Grace, fits Ellowyne/ Neema, too. This two piece set is beautifully crafted. The fabric looks delicate but is substantial and has a great feel to it. The pieces drape beautifully. The outfit has white lining at the waist band and around the neck and shoulders. It has snap closures under the tiny buttons of the blouse. The pants close with a hook and eye and one snap. The pants sit a bit lower on Ellowyne’s waist.
Cruise Couture: Embark on a voyage of elegance with our Cruise Couture collection, available in two stunning color variations. This meticulously crafted ensemble brings a touch of luxury to your doll's wardrobe, perfect for high seas escapades or sophisticated soirees on deck. The first variation is a vision in classic ivory, accented with a white belt and red trim that pays homage to the timeless nautical aesthetic. A generous red bow at the collar adds a dramatic flair to the crisp, clean lines of the dress.
The second variation offers a deep ocean blue that captures the spirit of maritime adventures. It is complemented by a blue belt and red trim along the hem. Both dresses are fully lined, ensuring a graceful silhouette and providing an extra layer of detail that speaks to the quality craftsmanship of the piece.
Note: The belts are beautifully mixed and matched with each other, or other belts with jewels or fun buckles can be added. Whether cinched at the waist to accentuate the figure or worn without for a free-flowing look, these dresses offer flexibility to suit the occasion. Elevate your doll's style with Cruise Couture, and let her make waves wherever she goes. Each dress is $48.00 - and we know you have some fabulous shoes in your closet to coordinate perfectly!
