8th March: Women's day
On 8 March 1914 In London there was a march from Bow to Trafalgar Square in support of women's suffrage . Sylvia Pankhurst was arrested in front of Charing Cross station on her way to speak in Trafalgar Square.
In 1917 demonstrations marking International Women's Day in Saint Petersburg on the last Sunday in February (which fell on March 8 on the Gregorian calendar) initiated the February Revolution.Women in Saint Petersburg went on strike that day for “Bread and Peace".
We've come a long way since those days, but there's a lot still to be done for equal rights, education and wages!
In spite the fact they may seem just fashion horses, the girls here are very conscious about these problems so they asked me to pose in front of the Wall of Dolls in Milan. The Wall of Dolls is an installation unveiled during menswear fashion week in june 2014 to shine a light against the increasing wave of violence against women which is rising all over the western world.
They also wanted to pose in front of this installation by Francesca Biasetton in Genoa's Palazzo Ducale, inspired by the "Zapatos Rojos" project.
Zapatos Rojos or Red Shoes is an art project realized by the Mexican artist Elina Chauvet. It deals with a city route which consists in lots of pairs of red or red-painted shoes to commemorate the many cases of violence against women in the whole world. In particular, her first work was realized in Ciudad Juarez, the border city between Mexico and the United States, where for the first time it was used the expression “femicide”. Here, indeed hundreds and hundreds of women were abducted, raped and then killed since 1993.
On a lighter side: In Italy to celebrate this day men give women yellow mimosas branches, mimosa blossoms also mark the beginning of springtime!
A great Women's day to all of you!

30's fashion: evening dresses
As anticipated, i'm going to show you the dresses I sew for the New Year's Eve party, along with the original fashions that inspired them.
I got the idea while searching in internet for some Myrna Loy outfits for Ofelia, and I came across these beautiful pictures:
As you see I only picked the general line of the dress, and used satin instead of the softer fabric of the original dresses.
Just to be prepared for next year (and not having to face Cecilia's anger) I'm going to add three more of these dresses for the tall (FR2) girls: Cecilia, Giada and the new Dania (she doesn't have a name yet).

| Veronica |
Evening dresses are not exaclty my greatest passion, as you can see browsing my blog so far, but I really like this kind of design a lot
 |
| Agata |
So I sew the first dress, and then the New Year's Eve party was on its way!!!
 |
| Ofelia |
I made two versions of this one, is the one I like best
 |
| Camilla |
 |
| Caterina |
And then, among the google result I came across this one, which is from the late 20's, but I loved the oversized ribbon idea
 |
| Vittoria |

Happy new year!!! A golden lame gown for Veronica
I know I'm a bit late, but I was bedridden with a bout of flu yesterday, so I managed to finish this golden dress for Veronica only today....as you can see she's a litte bit upset as she had nothing to wear on New Year's Eve, poor thing....but she gratiously agreed to model this dress to wish you all a wonderful 2014!!!
after all it wasn't easy to sew all this lame, it has the awful habit to fall apart at the seams, so I had to sew it to a pique lining
Definitely she has a My Fair Lady thing to her
I dind't have time to sew her stole.....Veronica is really unnerved, but she puts on a brave face...
may your new year be radiant and filled with happyness!!!!

Another great dress, this one is Givenchy. Both Mattel and Integrity already did this one, why shouldn't I?
The original dress:

And Billa's:
The model is Vittoria (Purity Dasha). I'm really satisfied with this one, and I'm planning to do some more Givenchy models in the near future. I'm also going to provide my FR2 dolls some nice new shoes.....
