When I first became an American Girl Fan it was mainly because of the Historical American Girl dolls. I loved all of the doll dresses and accessories from back in time!
So, I was very excited when I recently came in contact with Cecilia from the DollOutfitters Etsy Shop who specializes in beautiful quality historical doll clothes!
Cecilia has generously donated one of her Regency dresses to give away to one of you too! But, first let me show you how pretty this dress is and all the details in a review. (Keep reading to find out how to enter the giveaway!)
This Regency dress is a soft green color, perfect for the cooler weather. It has little strips of lace on the sleeves too and a cute wrap neckline.
It also comes with a lace shawl when the wind gets more nippy. :)
I really love the back of the dress where you can tie the ribbon into a bow!
Elizabeth enjoyed walking around the neighborhood in this stylish dress! Here's a little bit about Cecilia from her Etsy Shop Profile:
"Hey there! I'm Cecilia, owner and designer of DollOutfitters. I've been sewing for most my life. I love making doll clothes, and I love selling them on Etsy. I enjoy making clothes of every era in history, and my favorite era is the Victorian Era, especially the Civil War time period. Maybe it's all the full skirts that are so fun to gather that draw me to that time period! I also like the Regency look, as well as the Edwardian time period.
I also like to crochet, which is something that I picked up a few years ago. From time to time you'll find crocheted items in my shop. I sometimes crochet doll dresses, which are somewhat difficult yet fun to do. I love challenges! A new thing for me is designing my own patterns. Each of my regency dresses (with a couple exceptions) are my own designs."
I can't get over how pretty dress this dress is. I think the dress would fit Caroline's time period perfectly, but Elizabeth looks gorgeous in it! I'm sure any doll would love wearing this DollOutfitters one-of-a-kind dress. I really recommend all of their doll clothes, I'm blown away by the quality!

My favorite doll time period is Kit's. I love the whole great depression era. Even though it's a sad time I really love it. I'm thinking of perchasing Kit just because of the era she's from.

Hi Liz, I would like to enter to win this gorgeous Regency dress! My name is Laura, and yes, I do have permission to enter. :)
My favorite doll time period is the 1930s, like so many other people here. Kit and Ruthie are two of my favorite dolls. I fell in love with Kit from the moment she first came out, and she's definitely the doll around here who has the largest collection (I love every bit of it!). I think I love Kit (and Ruthie) best because she reminds me of my Grandma, who grew up during the same time. :)
