Milliner's Doll update


A while back I detailed the little milliner's doll that I purchased by layaway from Oldeclectics on Ruby Lane. And yes, that is a plug.    It's taken a while, but I finally found a moment to sit down and finish her costume. I had a piece of 8 inch wide antique lace that I had kept for something special, and this was it.  The dresses of the 1820 - 1830 period were what is commonly known as 'Empire', with a high waist and simple lines.  This is what I aimed for and I am happy with the outcome.  I think she looks quite elegant.

I'll start with a couple of photos of the doll before her makeover.  Enjoy.
