agseamstress Blue Plaid 1940s dress from Etsy

We bought this dress awhile ago and are finally getting around to posting about it....months later. As you might have guessed, Penny was collecting handmade doll clothing long long loooooong before I showed up and wanted to start a blog back in ol' 2008. So needless to say, we have a lot to show you. Which is one of the reasons we decided to post our outfits 3 times a week. Lucky for us, we also get our guest reviews! Wooohoo!

My ramblings aside, this summer Emily received a new blue plaid dress from Etsy seller agseamstress. Here is the link to the Etsy shop.

We thought we would make this brief posting foray into "historical" clothing before returning to some other modern Doll Closet items this week. This dress was not advertised as a 1940s dress but we thought it would work well as one for our Emily. All we needed to add was a bright red hair ribbon for contrast, fancy knit socks, and some shiny leather T-strap shoes. Emily is very happy with her new dress and likes how the blue of the dress goes with her eyes.

Wednesday and Friday's posts this week from Nora the Marvelous (that's me) will be on two skirts purchased from Etsy seller Doll Closet. As you can tell, we really did go "skirt-crazy" in that store! But we can justify it by admitting that a lot of "modern" girls live here in Badger's Wood.... and Stella really loves skirts. ;)

Enjoy the photos of Emily below and toodles for now!
