I wish we had repro fabrics 20+ years ago when I was dressing dolls in period fashion.Most wore plain fabrics cos I couldn't get appropriate small patterns.

My 1560 Early Elizabethan doll is dressed in a crimson cotton with trailing gold flowers that is near enough, even tho cotton was not used, & 1796 originally had a fine floral print overdress, which I replaced with a silk regency stripe overdress. 1720 wears a beautiful Chinese silk.

My dolls wore better fabrics than I did!
