A Pelham Puppet Redressed as

Glinda the Good Witch of the North

From the magical land of OZ

This gown was inspired by the Glinda bubble dress from the stage musical Wicked.

It is cut from a shot taffeta fabric and the petal layers of the skirt are embellished with hand applied silver glittered edges - under which are layered tulle petticoats. 

The boned corset bodice is also embellished by the glitter and silver lace. Her sleeves are puffed organza fabric, which help to show off her realistically moulded arms.

Her face has been fully repainted to suit the character and her blonde hair has been completely restyled. She also now sports a metal, diamante silver crown.

She has been strung on a vintage Pelham controller and the strings are in the original Pelham colours.

This Pelham Puppet has been fully redressed as the tragic second wife to King Henry VIII - based on her portrait held in Hever Castle, her childhood home. Anne was unjustly executed, by the sword, after only three years of being queen.

The gown is cut from a rich black velvet  - with red braided and metallic gold trim, studded with imitation pearls. Her full underskirt and undersleeves are of a gold patterned brocade and a red jewel hangs from her waist, on a chain. 

Her famous letter 'B' pendant hangs upon the front of her boned bodice. She wears a pearl trimmed French hood upon her head. Her face has been fully repainted to represent the Queen and her hair has been specifically styled from new material.

Her turned back sleeves are lined with red taffeta. 

She is strung using traditional Pelham colours on a refurnished controller.
