Joan Harris Cosplay

missdollymonroeLeave a comment

I am thrilled to finally be able to share with you this set of photos from my collaboration with Elizabeth Horodnyk.  This set was inspired by my favourite character on my favourite tv show, Joan Harris from Mad Men.  Joan is a strong, independent, bad ass woman who does it all while looking fabulous and elegant.  On top of all that Joan has curves for days, making her the perfect subject for me to cosplay.  The dress was made by me and the necklace is a replica of the signature necklace Joan wears on the show.  Please enjoy my little tribute to Mad Men and Joan Harris!

Vintage Baby Doll

I am so excited to share another lovely set of photos from Tyrone Islington!  We were going for a very 60s babydoll look with the styling and wardrobe for this shoot.  This is one of my favourite outfits, which I have featured on here before, but I just can’t get enough photos of it.  I designed and created this little pink playsuit with fabric I got at Mood in NYC.  Please enjoy this sweet little set of pictures from Dolly and Tyrone!

In the Studio with Tyrone Islington

Recently I have had the pleasure of working with Tyrone Islington on a few different projects.  His photography is dynamic, dramatic and emotionally charged.  I love his style and have enjoyed modelling for him.  For our most recent collaboration we played with light and shadow and created some of our best work to date.  Please enjoy a selection of images from this shoot, with more to come!

The photoset I am sharing with you today will hopefully be the first edition in a series that I shot with DWS Photography.  I had a wonderful time working on this beautiful set.  The lingerie featured was created by me with exception of the beautiful Victorian style corset from Louise Black.  This underbust corset is one of my favourite pieces and I am glad to have these wonderful photos to show it off.  Enjoy this small set and hopefully there will be more to come….

I thought I should start the week off with something fun; a little set of photos from my most recent shoot with Geoff Larkin!  I made this robe many months ago for another photoshoot but I didn’t end up using it.  I love the sparkly, shear fabric and was inspired by a classic 1960s evening robe look.  Enjoy!

I have some very exciting news today…  I finally have my very own personal website!

I thought it was about time to start expanding the Dolly Monroe empire and the next logical step was to create a website. For now it is mostly full of photos from my modelling and design portfolios, but I have big plans and many exciting projects in the works that will eventually be up on the site.  I am so looking forward to what is to come and cannot wait to share more details with you lovelies.

Victorian Dolly Dress

missdollymonroeLeave a comment

Right before winter I found this beautifully embossed polyester fabric that felt thick and warm and perfect for a cute winter dress.  I used a t-shirt pattern for the top and added a circle skirt on to the bottom.  Super simple. super quick and incredibly cute!  In the photos below I paired it with a homemade headband and cameo necklace.  The boots are ‘To Be Announced” from Solestuck. I love the little bit of metal at the toe and heel of these boots. They are like jewelry for your feet! My lipstick here is “Diva” from MAC.
