The Irish Couple

Siobhan & Gilles

Custom Dolls by First Of May Designs

Siobhan - The Bonny Lass

The female half of this dynamic OOAK (one of a kind) St. Patrick's Day couple by First Of May is Siobhan (pronounced Shevaughn).

She has had a facial repaint and has been given rooted eyelashes. Her hair has been given a blunt cut and has been pulled back and accented with a green and gold bow with shamrocks suspended by green streamers. She wears an original designed gown featuring a black background shamrock print bodice that has been enhanced with gold and white beading. The sleeves are green marabou feathers and the skirt of green cotton has been overlaid with green tulle. In between the layers are diagonal pockets holding free floating shamrocks. At each diagonal intersection a gold bead has been stitched and the entire bottom is trimmed with a gold and green braid. Her designer jewelry is gold with green rhinestones. Completing this ensemble is a net petticoat, green panties, black pumps with bead and shamrock accents and a tiny green purse with gold beading.

She was designed to accompany "Gilles", the male doll shown here.

Gilles is the male half of First Of May's OOAK (one of a kind) St. Patrick's Day set.

He has had a facial repaint. He has had a rooted beard added to his chin and his hair was painted red to match it. His original design outfit consists of a white shirt, a black shamrock print vest, Green short pants and tailed coat with contrasting lapels and a green bow tie. He wears a green felt hat with a black hatband and shamrock detail at the side. His legs are covered with white knee socks and his feet sport a pair of stylish black loafer style shoes with gold accents.

He is ready to do some St Patrick's day partying with his mate Siobhan!

(Gilles' clothing is not completely removable. Due to the bulk of the layered outfit on such a small doll, some of the features were stitched right on the doll. They could be removed but detail such as bead buttons would be lost. The jacket, pants, socks, shoes and hat CAN be removed without damaging the doll.)
