Dowry Dolls for Lee Mathews

We were pretty chuffed to be asked to make some dolls for well-known Aussie designer Lee Mathews' Brisbane store. They sent some gorgeous off-cuts of their fabric so we could dress the dolls in mini Lee Mathews clothes. It was a lot of fun. They were displayed in vintage birdcages along with other found dolls. We've always loved Lee Mathews for her simple and pared-back designs made from natural fibres like linen gauze and fine cotton voiles. So we used vintage, unfinished doilies for the doll bodies and tried to keep their clothing casual. We were really happy with the result. And thanks to Lee Mathews for asking us to work on such a great project.
