While most of the Montana territory gold miners lived in tents, lean-tos, and other not-so-nice forms of shelter, Cassie's father was lucky enough to find a large amount of gold in Alder Gulch and then build a small ranch for his family. We have to remember that most Montana territory "citizens" would not have had as much clothing as Cassie does!
This outfit, being modeled by my twin sister Ellie, is based on Addy's retired school outfit. However, Keepers designs her dresses to be longer than AG so the girl wearing them can be older and look more sophisticated. Other designers, like The Dollies' Dressmaker stick to the AG length which is appropriate for younger girls ages 9-10ish. We like both lengths at "The Doll Wardrobe" and buy both freely!
Penny is putting in her two cents on this one and remarked that when she saw the Ebay auction at the keepersdollyduds shop for this dress she knew she had to have it.
Her favorite things about this outfit: a) the minty green plaid fabric b) the long beautiful skirt c) the black lace decorations d) the sporty jacket that is fully lined and e) the blouse that can be used separately in other outfits. This is certainly the kind of outfit Cassie could wear once she becomes a teacher-in-training. I hope you enjoy the Photobucket slideshow of this Keepers purchase below!
