Gismonda Outfit for Sale

I am selling this wonderful Clea Bella outfit because I accidentally bought a second one when I already had it (I hate it when I do that!). It is from a limited edition of 100 for the Clea event at the 2007 Modern Doll Collectors' convention. It represents the actress Sarah Bernhardt in the role of Gismonda, in her costume which was immortalized in a fantastic Art Nouveau poster by Alphonse Mucha, who later did posters for all her appearances. If you do a Google search for Alphonse Mucha Gismonda you can see the poster.

It includes the gown which is cream satin with gold embroidered panels in front and sheer peach chiffon over the blouse and overskirt that flows into a fluttering train in back. A gold rosette trails narrower golden embroidery ribbons down the back. Over it goes a peach and gold satin brocade coat with reverse pleats in back showing the peach lining. Crystal drops decorate the sleeves and bodice. There is also a peach-toned pearl necklace and beige pumps with chiffon roses enhanced by a aurora borealis peach rhinestone on each toe.

My ‘Little Flirt’ is just modeling and is not included. Asking $49 with free shipping in the US. Smoke-free home. Please e-mail me at kari@umich.edu if interested.

This was for Modern Doll. But yes, it would go with Widow's secret. - Sammy, fan club president October 5, 2009, 9:16 pm
