The beginning of a two part post on Steve's Christmas gifts to me.

This was another of Vintage-Sasha's fabulous outfits that I was first man too late in trying to buy. I just adore the older Laura Ashley materials used here and remember very well this particular print from the 70s when her long cotton dresses with the high necks and long sleeves were all the range. I had about six of them and in fact chose one in a similar pink to get married in the second time.

This delightful top and shirts is being worn by my 1972 Trendon Gingham, a Shelly customised doll, an attempt to replicate Belle, a customised by her 1970 Gregor who I had missed buying from Shelly's website.

Here is the smock top worn over the accompanying cream trousers that provide a useful 'mix and match' theme.
JJ sandals complete the outfit.

  5. Anne emailed this to me as she still can't leave any comments actually on the blog itself...
