1890's Dress (Green)

This Armand Marseille doll was made in 1897 and the owner decided to have an outfit of this era.  The dress is made of a very lightweight green satin and is trimmed with a fine white cotton lace.  It features a bloused top with lace trimmed bretelles (shoulder frills).  The top of each  sleeve is very full and it has a long tight cuff trimmed with lace.

The owner wanted to leave the wig as it was because it was made from her grandmother's hair so to add a bit more style and width to the head it was decided to give the doll a bonnet in a matching fabric.
