The Amazing Suitcase

[cirquemom]

My friend's mother died recently- she was in her 90s. She loved dolls and had collected them over the years. My friend found this suitcase in her things and gave it to me. I opened it and found it was FULL of beautiful old doll clothes!


Amazing clothes- a lot of hand-embroidery, Victorian cutwork, and so forth.



Mary and Melisande decide to try on clothes.



The detail on this dress is amazing and beautiful.






Mary tried on a vintage pink linen dress.

Oh, what a wonderful gift from your friend...

Can we see more of what was in there?

I will take pictures of the rest of it soon. It just kept coming out--- dress after dress after dress.

That's not a suitcase, it's a treasure chest!

And those aren't doll clothes, they're gold!

That was nice of your friend to give you that and nice pictures

That lacy little dress is gorgeous. Old doll clothes are just amazing.

They are so beautiful- so detailed and you can't buy fabric or lace of this quality any more- at least, not at JoAnn fabrics!!!! I'll try to get pictures of the rest of it tomorrow. It was a little overwhelming going through it!

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's mother. It was really nice of your friend to give you such a beautiful gift, those clothes are gorgeous. Older doll clothes are always so beautiful, looking forward to more pictures when you are able to.
