I bought this fabric a while ago, as it reminded me of the fabric in the robe Claire wore in Paris in the second season of Outlander the TV show. A shot of Catriona Balfe, as Claire wearing the robe in question.
While the style of robe isn't the same, as I already had a robe in the style of Claire's above from a different gold fabric I had found before the flowered fabric below, the feel is the same, and my Claire doll based on the Outlander series will enjoy it as well. I asked my friend Robyn, of Period Threads, who makes most of my period doll clothing if we could do a different kimono sleeve on the robe instead of the short sleeve of Claire's golden robe. Below is the gorgeous result.
Since Cristina has golden eyes, I thought it would suit her as well, and since she hadn't gotten any new photos for a while she got to model the new robe first.
The fabric drapes so beautifully. My girls will get much use out of it, and as always, Robyn's work is impeccable.
Cristina's eyes really "pop" with the robe. She may not be giving it over to Claire anytime soon.
