As some of you know, I like to make these woodens dolls myself sometimes, but I never fail to be impressed by the originals, and here at sudbury hall we have some real beauties. Heres the first in a series of them that I will be documenting on here.
She has a wonderful smocked dressed and detail.
I am loving the blue cord contrast, belt around her tiny waist.
A beautiful painted and well worn, with love, face.

She's gorgeous! We have a couple in the Hollytrees museum in town, I could look at them for hours.....Love her dress, does she have lots of undies too?
Hello Lovely, she has alot of thin calico petticoats, and some thin bloomers ! I always like to check underneath :) Interestingly enough, whilst photographing and investigating one of the queen annes here at the museum, ( you can find the images in an older posting for her) I found that those dolls had amazing clothes, even boned corsets, petticoats etc, but never any knickers ! I think in those days that the clothing was so vast and so layered, that they really saw no need for them, and it must of been a night mare visiting the wc :)xXx
