Civil War Lady
I made this doll about a year and a half ago. She is an adapted pattern, I used pieces from several patterns to creat her, even my own body design. She was made for a dear friend of mine who does Civil War Reenacting. The doll is over 18 inches tall, with fully jointed legs. She has an almost compleat wardrobe Including: Drawers (properly open), chemise, Corset (fully boned), Hoopskirt, Peticoat, Stockings, Fingerless Gloves, Bodice and Skirt, Slat Bonnet, knited shawl (I knitted it too), removable collar, and chatelaine with key and sciscors. I never finished the shoes. My Husband's brother made a wonderful wooden box for her to be protected in. I originaly had pictures of her being dressed in each layer so you could see them, but I lost the camera. adn I only took theis shot becouse we felt it would be embarising to undress her there, besides there are a lot of layers and they all close the way they should. This picture was taken at my wedding.
