Paperdoll REalness
A soft rebellion dressed in pastels, Paperdoll Realness evolves the coquette aesthetic into something dreamier, more theatrical, and undeniably fashion-forward. Inspired by Victorian and Edwardian dress silhouettes, this moodboard is a collage of frothy ruffles, layered lace, and whimsical frills. Think puff sleeves with purpose, tiered skirts that float, and necklines trimmed with antique detail.
The palette is powdery and playful—blush, lilac, buttercream—with flashes of pearl, satin, and sheer tulle. Embellishments are everywhere but never overbearing: rosettes, ribbons, pintucks, and pearl buttons feel lifted straight from a paper doll cutout book. There’s a sense of dress-up, yes, but it’s deliberate—each look is styled with volume, movement, and just enough camp to keep it modern.
