A Trousseau fit for a "Queen Anne"........................I have just added some more photos, do scroll down and take a look!

Sometime soon, I hope, there will be a large wooden Queen Anne doll available that will be so excited to wear all of these pieces that I have made for her......plus some more.  I have been working on this trousseau for quite some time now and I also found the perfect antique wooden box to display all the clothing and eventually the doll in as well. 
I thought it was time that I share with you some of the things I have been making here in preparation of a 24-25" fully jointed wooden Queen Anne doll being finished.  She will have glass eyes and be of the era of about 1725.
We are getting out lives back in order here after the massive fire that we suffered in November and soon I can be working on wooden dolls again........
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I have enjoyed all the tedious work that has gone into reproducing these pieces. 
Note the matching hand quilted petticoat, corset and pair of pockets.....Love, love, love them!  
And the shoes.........it is all about the accessories as you know!
Everything you see here is all hand stitched and made by me from fabulous antique fabrics that I have been waiting to use on a very special doll.
If you would like more photos, or have questions, just email me:  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Enjoy!











Below you will see her 2 piece very early embroidered silk panelled skirt and petal bottom bodice with 3/4 sleeves. 
Both are lined with early brown glazed cotton lining and all hand stitched........my fingers are raw!


 Stomacher with wonderful patina and all hand stitched.......
