Dollies' Dressmaker 1940s Striped Brown Dress

This lovely brown-on-brown striped 1940s dress with turquoise embroidered accents was purchased from the Dollies' Dressmaker website.

I don't think this particular creation is available anymore from the site, but there are always new things every week or so in their store. This last week several new colonial garments were added and there have even been 2 recent Ebay auctions for colonial gowns. Luckily, they make a little bit of everything for all of the historical periods. Will they come up with new 1914 designs for Rebecca Rubin too? Maybe!?!

But let's not get too excited yet for the 1910s. We are still in the 1940s mode in Badger's Wood and our focus is on collecting for our new Susan and Emily. My sister Maggie picked out this dress for Susan so she would have something nice to wear to school. Stella thought it would look best with pigtails. Enjoy our photos below of Susan in her new dress! Boy, does she look cute!

The next post from Marvelous Me, Nora Demington, will be on a pinstriped skirt and jacket, with blouse, from Ebay seller sophie_nc for our friend Emily. Catch y'all later!
