Bethg Josefina outfit

Are you missing something? Perhaps clothing for your Josefina? Visit the Ebay store bethg456573vr...you won't be disappointed!

Penny found this Ebay store during a random search for Josefina handmade clothing. There are a lot of outfits that seem to rotate in and out of this store-and many of them are for Josefina!

What caught Penny's eye for this outfit were two main things- a) it had a green skirt and green is not often a color used in Josefina clothing and b) some lovely long pantaloons were included with the outfit! Also included were a blouse and sash.

Josefina stood still long enough for us to snap some photos of her wearing this outfit. She wouldn't put up with getting her hair done because she wanted to try on the next dress. However, the photos still give you a good idea of the beauty of the outfit. This seamstress used some really sophisticated detailing on the sleeves and the pantaloons. Another great addition to the collection!

Beckys_cottage Josefina Outfit 2

As stated in previous posts, this year has been dedicated to expanding the sections of our collection which are lacking. This includes handmade goods for our friend Josefina. Her family is fairly wealthy, so it makes sense that she has a larger wardrobe.

This outfit, being modeled by Jess below in a slideshow, is the second purchase from Ebay shop Beckys_cottage. A truly lucky lucky find. It includes a head-scarf, skirt, blouse, sash, and necklace- again 5 pieces like the other Beckys_cottage outfit. Very generous for the price. Craftsmanship is superb and this seamstress has a real gift for Josefina clothing. Sure we could spend 6 months searching for retired Josefina outfits on Ebay- or spend 20 minutes hunting and find a treasure trove of great handmade Josefina clothing! So happy we found Becky's Cottage!

Nsaffen Sage Regency Dress

Another interesting Etsy find this month was Nsaffen's "All the Little Things" shop. Here we found a Regency/Empire period dress with a combination of two beautiful sage-colored fabrics. Sundari is modeling it for us below in two pictures.

This dress got Penny to thinking about making an Elinor Dashwood Sense and Sensibility Jane Austen character doll. Not like we need another doll on the Wish List- but it would be nice to have a Regency period character. She could be our first doll to come from England, in the storyline sense. In reality, we all come from China. Heehee.

Well one of the Wish List dolls is a Felicity that will get an eye-swap so she has brown eyes instead of green. (Yes, it is possible to switch AG doll eyes if you know what you are doing.) So maybe Felicity will become Elinor! Do you think it will be confusing to have both an Ellie and an Elinor in the same house?

Anyway, back to this nice dress. It is a really pretty design and I particularly like the lace accents around the neckline and the skirt. I look forward to snooping in Nsaffen's shop for new AG items!
