Let’s sew a gorgeous Renaissance ball gown for Momoko dolls with today’s free patterns @ ChellyWood.com #DollClothesPatterns #MomokoDoll

A photograph of Juliet from Romeo and Juliet with dolls shows Juliet in her family's garden, wearing a handmade ball gown that includes an undergarment or shift dress made of white cotton, lace-up sleeves of blue with gold embroidery, a pinafore made of royal blue fabric embroidered in gold to match her sleeves, a royal blue cap with white veil flowing down beyond the length of the doll's hair. The doll is a Momoko doll (Too Cute Marine) and she holds out her hands to touch the mouth of a white horse with blue bridle. She stands before an open iron gate among the leafy fronds of plants in her family's garden. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in one corner of this photo.

Once again, this Momoko doll dress sewing project is one of my older patterns, from back in the days when this blog was really just a personal journal.

Momoko’s ball gown was her costume for the masquerade scene, when she played Juliet in my stop motion video, Romeo and Juliet with Dolls, for which I have produced Acts 1 through 3 so far.

This appears to be a scene from Chelly Woods stop motion video graphic novel, Romeo and Juliet with dolls on YouTube. We see a well decorated room in the Capulet family household, and it's almost as if Romeo and Juliet have been embracing or perhaps are just dancing. Their arms are outstretched toward one another. Romeo is played by Texas A&M Ken. Juliet is played by Momoko doll. Against one wall, a tiny China hutch holds bottles of dried beans, a row of handmade teeny-tiny candles, a wicker basket, goblets, empty jars, and a brass jewelry box or something like it. On the wall is a famous painting from a scene from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Against the wall behind Romeo, we see a tiny handmade Renaissance style chair with Asian-influenced cushions. Juliet's dress is made of blue satin (or something that looks like satin) embroidered with gold floral patterns. She wars a white cotton shift beneath the pinafore dress and sleeves. The white shift is embroidered with tiny white flowers. Her Veil's cap is made of blue cotton and seems to tie behind her hair. The veil's soft tulle white fabric trails down below her long red-blond hair. Ken wears a flannel cavalier's hat made of brown flannel with a wide brim. It's decorated with tiny white and brown feathers. His doublet jacket is made of blue cotton and in places brown cotton with a leafy pattern. There are ribbon stripes going horizontally across the front of his jacket, and it laces up in front. His sleeves lace up as well. He wears an off-white cotton shirt beneath the jacket. His pants are bi-color pants made of blue cotton and brown cotton. He wears dark brown knee-high flannel boots. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in the lower right corner of the photograph.

In today’s set of costume patterns, I’m including the pattern and tutorial video for the Mardi Gras style masquerade mask, so watch for those in the second set of bullets, along with the veil, undergarment (shift) and ball gown with detached sleeves.

The image shows Momoko doll holding up a handmade Mardi Gras mask in a Renaissance style. There's a pattern for a moustache-like Mardi Gras eye mask on the image. The image is marked with Creative Commons Attribution symbol and the ChellyWood.com logo. This pattern and subsequent masks were used in the filming of Romeo and Juliet with dolls, a stop motion video produced by ChellyWood.com

In order to make today’s masquerade ball gown, including the veil and Mardi Gras style mask, you’ll need the following items: feathers, craft foam, glitter glue and a toothpick for the mask; plus a printed cotton fabric and a solid color cotton fabric, along with 1/8 inch ribbon for the dress; and finally white tulle (for the veil), embroidery floss (for the shift), and size 3/0 Dritz snaps.

The shift dress (the undergarment) looks like this:

In this photo, a Ryan doll is dressed in the costume that the prince wears in Chelly Wood's stop motion video, "Romeo and Juliet with Dolls" and he stands beside the Momoko doll (who plays Juliet in the video graphic novel with dolls), and she wears a long white gown and veil. Ryan's costume is made of a blue tunic with a gold dragon-scale-like print, puff sleeves, and a beaded front closure (at least that's how it appears to close from this angle). The Ryan Ken doll also wears gold trousers and blue shoes. The two dolls stand in front of a wrought iron gate which opens out onto a garden. There are potted plants and hanging plants nearby, along with some sort of ivory pedestal. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the lower right hand corner.

There’s another little item you’ll need to make the laces work on your doll’s detached sleeves. They’re called “jump rings,” and people use these for beading projects like necklaces and bracelets. You’ll want to purchase some of the very small sizes of jump rings, and I found that oval shapes and round shapes worked best.

You can kind of see the jump rings where her sleeves lace up, in this photo:

  1. This is one of my favorite dresses of your. The Blue accent overlay is stunning. I do not know the correct name of it. But just beautiful.

    1. Oh, thank you, Dodi! I’m so proud of this creation.

      As it says in the article, it’s my Renaissance dress for Juliet in my stop-motion video of Romeo and Juliet With Dolls, a production that has taken me many years to make.

      This summer I’ve been working hard to get Act IV ready for publication. I’m hoping to release it on my YouTube channel when I reach 10,000 followers, which is coming up quickly!
