Swedish Dirndl & Kerchief (RETIRED)

My outfit might be grey market but the woman at the doll show I bought it from had several in AG bags with the right code on the sticker and hangers, so at least some of them had to be real. Grey market or not, the quality is great and I am happy to have gotten it for a reasonable price. The skirt is striped in burgundy and blue with a bit of gold and dark grey, it is a soft flannel and is nice and full with growth tucks in it. The blouse is a heavy unbleached cotton and is nicely done with very full sleeves, it has velcro up the back and at the cuffs. The vest is the same soft flannel as the skirt and in the same basic colours but it is a plaid pattern instead of stripes, it is lined in the same material, has velcro up the back and a sewn down faux lacing up the front. I would like it better if it really laced, but I am very pleased with it anyways. The kerchief is a flowered navy calico and ties over dolly hair nicely, it is made well but is otherwise unimpressive. The outfit looks good over Addy's red petticoat (it's a tight fit, but it does all fasten) and as I don't have Kirsten or her dreadful meet boots I use Kit's Work Boots, not perfectly historically accurate, but it looks like the picture in my copy of Meet Kirsten. A+
