Designer’s Notes:

I let my daughters choose the dress colours! I had in mind two shades of blue and a cream, but they chose grey and burgundy! Partway through, she looked like a pilgrim. Although she would never have been permitted to wear such a short skirt and pointy hat! Make skirt longer and change the hat slightly for pilgrim.

Then, after the hair was added: She looked like (and still does!) Anne of Green Gables. Again, change dress colour and change the hat a bit, and she'd look even more like my favourite orphan!
