I LOVE MAOU! She is so amazing and cute, she has these moments when she is so strong and guiding people and then she has these really insecure needy moments. That really speaks to me, and reminds me of myself.

This is the Crimson Scholar version of her. The jacket is fully lined velvet, with gold spandex piping. The gold designs were cut out of the velvet with a heat tool and then a gold panel was added underneath and statin stitched in place over all the edges. It is amazing and I am super proud of it.

The skirt is taffeta and boned with lacing in the back so I can really cinch it in. White ribbon makes the pretty stripes on it and there is horsehair in the hem. I found an old bridal petti at Goodwill and it was perfect for creating bottom poof.

The shirt and cuffs are also made by me.
