Blooming Magnolia is a 45cm porcelain ball jointed doll. She is inspired by wonder of spring, blooming and overall awakening of the nature. Her entire look is very gentle, pure and flowy, like a warm spring breeze and a blooming tree. Magnolia's costume is very loosely based on German Alpine national costume, as the Alps are associated with the most beautiful spring views. The blooming flowers are also represented with Magnolia's beaded headpiece. The color scheme is inspired by the actual magnolia tree, with green leaves and rosy flowers.
All clothes and accessories are one of a kind. The Blooming Magnolia's overskirt features intricate lace and beadwork that took over 40 hours to complete. All fabrics used in the costume are hand-dyed with a unique blend of dyes. The outfit, shoes and flower head piece are made of silk, embroidered with lace, Japanese beads and silk ribbons. The wig is made of natural mohair, which is also hand-dyed to match the color scheme.
All elements of the costume are removable, all clasps are functional. The set includes two pairs of removable gesture hands to create various expressions.
