so this is the dress i bought for my bfs prom: http://heavyred.com/victoriannewyearsevegown.aspx#
i was thinking fishnet style tights, but the ones that have roses or something, like this: http://heavyred.com/flowersforeverfulllengthstockings.aspx#
so what should i do for jewelry and hair and makeup? im kinda lost. also, i do hair and nails professionally so thats not an issue... i have bright red hair and im pretty pale and short.
so suggestions welcome and pics if you have them! thanks a bunch!
Answer
That's a gorgeous dress you bought! Love the rich colour, mysterious patterns and slim fit.
I also think that the rose fishnet tights are fantastic, really will bring attention to your legs as well, but with a focus on the dress.
As for jewelry, something simple but eye-catching will do the trick. Don't try to be too matchy-matchy, but a rose ring can really make your outfit pop more.
black rose ring (red is also an option!):

Since the neckline of the dress is already rather busy, a simple necklace is optional.
If you're going to wear leather fingerless gloves like the model (which would be a great idea), I'd say go heavy on the rings (but not so much it's hard to hold a cup or whatever), and lessen the bracelets, or none at all.
As for your hair, wearing it up would give the outfit a more Victorian feel and really go with the dress. If you have bangs, you could definitely wear a cute and simple crown braid and add a barrette.

floral barrette (great price, and it will look really nice against your red hair):

Or you could also create a fancy French braid and put it up in a twisted bun. You can google tutorials on how to do that (:
Last but not the least important, makeup time! I don't suggest anything too heavy like the model wearing the dress. This is prom, a time to feel beautiful cos you're YOU (:
Spritz a bit of your favourite perfume in your hair so he'll want to get closer to you. Pick a rosey lipstick to create contrast with the dress but not create a weird combo with your hair. I'm not exactly sure about the shade of your hair, but a dark yet bold pink may do the trick.

Have fun with your eyemakeup! Wear a light silver on your inner lids and fade into darker as your reach the outer ends of your eyes. a dark jewel-toned eyeshadow blended with primer can work wonders.

dose anyone have a patsy doll?
Alaina Lit

Answer
Patsy dolls are very collectible. They did reproduce the dolls in the 1990's by Effanbee made in plastic to look like the older dolls that were made of composition. Here is some information about the dolls. I can not tell from your question if yours is older or a new one. You are not suppose to sell items on Yahoo, so put the doll on ebay.
1928-1946 Patsy, 14" tall, cloth body on the first ones and used the Baby Dainty head mold, later it was all composition, molded painted hair usually a shade of red with a painted headband, there is a whole line of Patsy family of dolls came in many sizes, some have magnets in their hands to hold things. (Patsy & the 1922 Armand Marseille, Just Me doll #310 mold with bisque head are identical). The 1946 dolls are unmarked, some dolls have been found on the Patricia marked body and with the Patsy Baby head with a mohair wig. Some of the Patsy dolls came in a black version. 1928-1943 Skippy was Patsy's boyfriend.
Heads unmarked, marked on back: Effanbee Patsy Pats. Pend. Doll or other variations with dolls name.
Others in the Patsy family were: Wee Patsy 6" (Fairy Princess), Baby Tinyette 7", Tinyette Toddler 8", Patsy Babyette 9", Patsyette 9", Patsy Baby or Patsy Babykin 10", Patsykin, Patriciakin or Patsy Jr. 11", Patsy, Patricia, or Skippy 14", Patsy Joan 16", Patsy Ann 19", Patsy Lou 22", Patsy Ruth 27", Patsy Mae 30" tall.
