NEW! Nuala wears a sample of the One of a Kind $38
Size 2------------------------------------------------------Size 3 on Lillith
HA HA I did a funny. I wanted you to see the scallops on the pants. The soft florals are ALL different. There's many portions of it that are hand sewn. The fabric is a non-shiny poly, which has handpainted flowers: daisys, tulips, poinsettias. I have two sizes. Nuala is wearing a size 2. But, because of the handwork, each is SO unique, you'll simply have to ask about colors and proper size for your specific doll.

Ao Dai with Turbans
TOO STINKIN' CUTE!!! That's what I have to say about these! The turban in open on top (as meant for girls so that braids can go through them). The colors are fuschia with a silver geometric print. It closes with snaps along the sides. Matching pants are silky white, with an elastic top. This company calls our size 1-2. The turban size is adjusted by inserting a small piece of foam behind the head. Also available is one size 3T. Cost for set: $46 Must be shipped in slender box $6 Size 2 and size 3 available
Ao Dai with Turban Red and Gold
These are two piece outfits, of a lighter weight silky material. The pattern of the print is geometric, as shown in the fuschia set above. The sizes are perfect for Ai Lien, but would also fit dolls slightly shorter, or slightly taller. Cost for set: $46 Only size 2 available Must be shipped in slender box $6
Ao Dai (pronounced "Ow Yi" very quickly, with short sounds--the letter D is silent, and the "i" is a long vowel.) is the Vietnamese Traditional girls' dress. It has a very long, sheer tunic top over pants. The fabric will be the silky poly. The designs down the front of the tunic are all handpainted. Often, there are ribbon roses, dainty glitter paints, or other handwork designs. No two are alike. The sizes are called Sizes 1T and 2T. These are Vietnamese sizes, so they are a bit different compared to US. All are very very slender. Sometimes, the Ao Dai are sleeveless. You may purchase the set as shown, or request custom tailoring on the sleeves ($7 extra).
