Birthday Outfit (Birthday Pinafore & Snood)

This is another of my favorite outfits. I love that brown plaid and think it is very practical but also flattering for a young girl. The detailing on the blouse makes me swoon with happiness. The snood is also a wonderful addition and actually, I wish that more of Addy's outfits came with snoods. Fortunately, doll wig hair nets do the job just as well. My only quibble with this dress is that the skirt is not cut generously enough to fit Addy's petticoat underneath, which is actually a fairly common problem for her wardrobe. We make do with another non-AG white petticoat.

Grade A, would buy again.




For placement reference, a photo of a girl from 1865 wearing a snood:



It, uhm, helps to have unwashed hair....
