Dollies' Dressmaker Colonial Dress

Hola! Here we are today with a pic and video of a set we got from The Dollies' Dressmaker: http://www.dolliesdressmaker.com/.

This online shop has a ton of offerings, both historical and modern. It's a favorite among many doll collectors. Cindy is constantly coming up with new things, and they sell out fairly quickly. Especially the popular items such as outfits for Samantha, Nellie, Felicity, and Elizabeth. Occasionally she offers special auctions on Ebay. She has a Facebook page that can keep you updated about new goodies. And she currently is offering three different coupons for all shopping before June 13th. It is a great site and we highly recommend you check it out.

Our set came with the jacket top, the skirt, and the scarf (which we tried out on Elizabeth's head and around her shoulders for different looks). We added a beaded necklace and a ribbon in her hair for good measure. The chairs on the wall are vinyl decals we picked up at Target for photo shoots.

Here is a starter pic and then the video, featuring "Colonial American" music via iTunes: "Rickett's Hornpipe" is the name of the tune. Hope you enjoy it! :-)

p.s. There is an online exhibit over at the Colonial Williamsburg website right now: "Historic Threads: Three Centuries of Clothing." http://www.history.org/history/museums/clothingexhibit/index.cfm Check it out -- it is pretty cool!
