Mattel’s Teresa is transformed into Beatrice Whaley, 17 year old Dreamer, who finds herself caught up in the American Revolution when she should be dreaming about who will take her to the Halloween dance. She has been given a partial facial repaint with green eyes, toned-down make-up, and soft pink nail polish. I use fine artist quality acrylic paint and varnish. Her hair has been permed and styled, giving her soft waves. She wears perhaps a fancier version of the gown of her dreams, made of gold and slate blue satin over a white lace petticoat. The overskirt is ruffled in the back and gathered on the sides. The sleeves of her bodice have gathered cuffs at the elbows and ruffles of the same color as her underskirt. Her stomacher and sleeve ruffles feature a dainty white ribbon “lace.” She holds a genuine leather tricorn hat that belongs to the dashing soldier who has taken an interest in her welfare. All clothing is hand fitted and sewn from cotton and polyester lace and satin; her shoes are black leather. She is signed and dated on her back. All clothing is not removable.
