Our very first 1950's design!

Our brand new 'Juli Lynne' Outfit is my first 1950's design! I've had a poodle skirt in the works for about a year now, and I've finally had the chance to make it! It's just too adorable, and if it turns out to be popular, then maybe there will be a 1950's section in the future, just as my Tudor section came from my Renaissance.

The history behind the iconic 'Poodle Skirt' is fascinating to me. It's a story of one woman who had an idea, and turned her idea into an industry, and that idea became the icon of an era. Read about it on the product page!

'Lady Jane Grey' Dress

 

I've been working on this design for a long time, and I am excited to finally see it on the website! The 'Lady Jane Grey' Dress is inspired by a portrait of Lady Jane, and I think that the outfit is just beautiful. However, there only 10 outfits in this exact color, so don't wait!

This dress is not intended for rough play.

Christmas 2013 Collection!

Every week in November we will be releasing a new design as part of our Christmas 2013 collection. This week we have released a re-design of the 'Sarah Childress Polk' Dress. The dress features a vintage porcelain brooch that was made in Japan.

What's Happening?

Hello Friends,

I'm sure some of you are wondering either 'Where is the September Dress?' or 'When will you release the Fall collection'?

Well, here is the answer to both. I'm not sure. I am extremely busy on a living history project that I volunteer for in my home town, and haven't had the time (or energy) to devote to Doll Clothes of Yore. Rest assured, if you order a dress it will be sent to you on time. I simply haven't been able to concentrate on new designs, however, I hope that will change in the next few weeks.

I've also decided that 2014 will be different when it comes to releasing new designs. My business has been growing, and fabric is becoming increasingly unavailable or expensive. Instead of releasing large collections a few times a year, I will instead be focusing on more 'Special Editions'. However, I may keep the Monthly dress plan going, we shall see.

Thank you for your patience, and for learning with me as I find what Jesus wants for me and for 'Doll Clothes of Yore' in 2014.

Emily Marsh
