Antique Dresses

Here are three of the dresses from the suitcase of antique doll clothes from my friends mother, who was 90+ years old. They are a pretty good fit for the SD size girls!

Mary, Daisy, and Melisande model the dresses.

Mary in a red dress. The embroidery is all hand-done. Amazing!

Melisande in a blue handkerchief linen dress- again- hand-done cut-work.

Thank you! Yes, it is really amazing, and these are just three of probably 3-4 dozen dresses, if not more.
