One Doll Wardrobe reader pointed out that she can't go from my post to the shop of The Nimble Thimble via a link. And I realized that I typically forget to put links into my posts to direct you to the proper location for exploration. So I should really be a bit more consistent with that!
So for this week we discussed three Etsy shops:
MyOwnLittleWorldToo
TheNimbleThimble
and
Gomunkcreations!
Click on those names to visit their shops! I will try and put links into every post from now on. :)
And as an extra bonus, after reading our blog one seamstress decided to start posting her doll clothing up on Etsy! Visit this link to see Donna Cotterman's Creations! She currently has two white Regency gowns and a Harry Potter uniform up for sale. Very lovely stuff!

The Nimble Thimble Dark Satin Gown
At the beginning of Jane Austen's first published book- "Sense and Sensibility"- Mr. Dashwood has just died and left his estate to his son John, from his first marriage. Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret are his daughters from his second marriage. Their mother and the girls are left with a slim allowance in the will. Thus begins the tale.
Since Elinor is in mourning for her father, we decided that this dark satin gown would be a proper addition to her wardrobe. It is a well-constructed Regency gown with very lovely lace around the neckline and a bow around the waistline. The back is pleated to generate that Regency "poof" at the waistline. It was purchased from Etsy seller TheNimbleThimble, where a lot of the sewing is done by hand!
Our Felicity/Elinor was so eager to try on a piece of clothing from her Regency wardrobe that we didn't even have time to style her hair before taking the pictures! Of course, this situation was not helped by the fact that once we attempted to brush out her Felicity ponytail we discovered that there were bits of paint and glue on the ends of some of her hairs. What in the world? I honestly have never seen a doll come to our house before with paint and glue in her hair. It wasn't really noticeable until you tried to brush her hair. Penny was able to cut away all the bad parts without ruining her hair. I wonder what kind of trouble that Miss Felicity was getting into in order to get paint and glue in her hair?
By the time that whole "surgery" was complete, Felicity/Elinor was ready to just get her picture taken already. And then she wanted to put on the Fourth of July outfit that we showed you on July 3rd. Since then she has been digging through the closets trying to find the rest of her hidden wardrobe. ;)
The next post from Marvelous Me, Nora Demington, will feature ME! Yippee! And Woooot! Finally I get to have my own picture in my own blog again! What will I be wearing? A certain fantastic rabbit costume from Etsy seller gomunkcreations! Yes! Penny actually got me that costume! Thank goodness and praise Go Munk Creations for making a rabbit costume! Please: Go here to see their shop.
