Sugar & Spice

Paprika!  What a perfect color for a nice fall dress!  Lydia and I just love this dress with its ruffle and layered look.  The fabrics I used are both cotton that lend wonderful body to the full skirts.  For dressing ease, the back has a full opening and vlecro closure. The bodice and sleeves are lined.  The tie at the waist floats, so the bow can be used front or back, or even as a hair tie if your imagination wants to see it that way.  The hair band is plastic, covered by fabric to match the dress.  To complete her outfit, Lydia chose antique gold bow pumps. 

Lydia's fall dress and hairband are $19.00.  If you would also like the shoes for your dolly, they can be added for $6.00 with no extra shipping charge.

School Cool

Yes, the cooler weather is even reaching us here under the Carolina skies.  Sandy was looking for something a little warmer for school this week, and decided on this retro look of vest, blouse and pull on jeans.  She'll probably roll up her pants later this afternoon to capri length, but for this morning, the 100% cotton jeans with an elastic waist are just comfy.  Her  long sleeved blouse with elastic at the wrist, opens fully in the back and closes with velcro.  Sandy's vest if fully lined, has a velcro front closure, and can be reversed should she spill a little pizza sauce on it at lunch.  She said she wants me to put some little white buttons on the reverse side..... I guess I can do that when she gets back from classes. 

Sandy's pants, blouse and vest are $18.00.  Her shoes are available for $6.00 more, and I'll include the hair band free of charge.
