About the Fashions:

Portmanteau Fashions is the culmination of half a lifetime's research. Since I was little I've loved historical fashion, and have collected a library of books on it, not to mention a modest collection of actual antique garments to study, ranging from the 1770s through the 1930s.

Every outfit at PF is carefully researched and made. Inspiration comes from many sources: existing garments, fashion plates, art, and more. I have very exacting standards for everything I produce, and as such, no detail is insignificant. Many hours go into each creation, resulting in truly one of a kind pieces.

Outfits and their foundation, or under, garments are sold separately here at PF, but I will on occasion auction off special fullsets which will include everything needed for the outfit: garments, foundations and accessories.

 

About the Models:

Because of the highly fitted nature of these fashions, I will not make clothes for a doll I do not own. This is most especially true of ladies' fashions.

For ladies' fashions, my 60cm+ models are: Emilia, a DOD Shall; Phoebe, a Volks SD16 girl; Lanie, a Volks SD10 2 part body; and Cecilia, a CP small bust Miyu. For 43cm ladies models, I have Reina, a Unoa Quluts 1.5 Lusis.

For gentlemen's fashions, my 60cm+ models are: Tsukasa, a DOD Lahoo; Sydney, a Luts Senior Delf Ethan; Blake and Bowen, CP Harangs; and Nicole, a CP Juri '06/Soom boy hybrid. My 43cm models are Toyah and Koyah, Unoa Quluts 1.5 L-bis.

For children's fashions, I will use my 43cm models, as well as my 27cm models: Dane, a Volks SwD Piccolo; Demi, a Volks SwD Anne; and Rhoslyn, a BC Cookie.
