Antique Dresses

Postby cirquemom » Tue May 28, 2013 6:55 pm

Here are three of the dresses from the suitcase of antique doll clothes from my friends mother, who was 90+ years old. They are a pretty good fit for the SD size girls!

Mary, Daisy, and Melisande model the dresses.

Daisy in the white cut-work dress.

Mary in a red dress. The embroidery is all hand-done. Amazing!

Melisande in a blue handkerchief linen dress- again- hand-done cut-work.

Thank you! Yes, it is really amazing, and these are just three of probably 3-4 dozen dresses, if not more.
