Diana Bobar

Welcome to my website ... and enjoy my journey inside the twisted world of Romanian fashion: from fabric choosing to pattern cutting, to the actual sewing - right now, I try to do my best in bulding my own clothing label: DIANA BOBAR DESIGN and having fun blogging the process.

My Doll For Unicef

So I finished the doll for Unicef yesterday and first I wanted her to be a Gothic princess but she turned out to look more of a cute queen, right? She wears a black lace dress with the top part made of faux leather with metallic details. The eyes and the lips are also hand sewn.

I will donate it and send it to Unicef for the “Create A Doll- Help A Child‘ charity event, which will take place next year. You can have fun and create a doll yourself, get all the instructions here. I promise you that it is a whole lot of fun!

By the way: her name is Francesca.

Coats For Winter

Metallic checkered double breasted coat (the buttons will be simple, round and metallic) with a big collar and an elastic waistband.

Flower printed coat with an attached handmade flower at the front and separate golden waistband.

Black wool wrap coat with a separate metallic waistband.

Metallic gray dress with a bow detail at the front and a plunging neckline.

When Roro visited I also made her fit the black tulle and lace skirt and army like olive jacket. The skirt can be found at Ummagumma and the jacket at MonekyBizz.

And this is the coat that I made for Florina, the first coat I made from scratch, all by myself, a couple of weeks ago. The neck-piece is from her new Josephine accessories collection that I will post, of course, soon!

Black And White Checkered Wrap Jacket

To prove that this kind of wrap jacket can be worn in a gazillion different ways. :) The waistband is separate. The jacket can be worn on both sides. This piece is one of a kind because my black&white checkered fabric stock has run out, but of course I can make wrap jackets with similar looking fabric (by order only).

Andreea tried it on so that I can see the fit. I am happy about the way it turned out. Hopefully we’ll use this piece for the photo shoot we’ll do this week.

Evening Dresses And Winter Coats

Black and white checkered pleated skirt.

Pink zebra dress with rosettes at the waist - both of the dresses above have a deep V cut back.

Metallic gray spray painted long dress with attached rosettes at the bottom.

Red silk long dress with cream waistband and silk handmade rosettes at the waist.

Plum wool wrap coat with a satin printed lining.

Andreea visited us today and I asked her to try the plum wool wrap coat on to see the fit. The coat has metallic buttons on the shoulders for a closing and a separate waistband from the same fabric.

All these garments are at the atelier right now, so if you are interested  you can come by for a fitting just let me know.

We’ll do a photo shoot sometime this week, so that I can send them to stores coming next week.
