| P-085 - 1875 Mother's Sunday Frock
This authentic antique reproduction doll looks like she just stepped out of an old Renoir painting. Dresses of that time were form fitting from shoulder to knee with all of the fullness and fussiness condensed at the hem. Known as a "curasse", our natural form fitting jacket is cleverly designed in a summery pink and white stripe. A row of miniature buttons and buttonhole loops close at the front. The hem of the jacket is wrapped in a beautifully beribboned scarf edged in a row of tiny tassels. A huge ribbon carnation gives a low bustle effect at the derriere. The underskirt is created in a cascade of lavish crochet lace layers that trail elegantly at the back. Beautiful bubble stitches, scallops and chevrons in alternating textures create a rich effect. The costume is worked in bedspread weight threads.
