In the photos you see the dress paired with the Keepers lace cap. The dress did come with a cap and shawl but I thought it would look cool with the lace cap instead. This is what happens when you put an eleven-year-old in charge of costume arrangements for the photo shoots...
I have to say we were really impressed with this gown and it is one of the fanciest dresses Mary owns. You don't often see doll clothes seamstresses using such thick brocade and woven fabrics, even though they are somewhat more "historically accurate." They are gorgeous fabrics and in such a beautiful combination here. But I bet they are difficult to work with.
