La Poupee Modele September 1878
Percale Dress, Hats and Shoes

See the sketches of the small percale printed dress, furnished with lace in this issue for the trousseau of the pocket doll. A piece of this lace is held in place by two cute mother-of-pearl buttons, which simulates pockets for this pretty small dress. These same buttons are used on the front of the dress. This same lace furnishes the armholes and continues all around the dress as the sketches indicate.

For the small cardboard hats today, look in the appendix for this same trousseau. After cutting them out carefully, gather a small piece of ribbon of the color you like best, or rather which goes best with the various toilets of your doll., and sew it on the sides imitating the black straw, by shaping it as gracefully as possible on the head of the doll. Then we add ribbon ties of the color of the ruffled ribbon and a matched twist and knots.

As for the garden hat, one will put all evenly above a large knot of narrow velvet or small ribbon, as our drawing No 47 shows it, or one will decorate it of a braid falling down in soutache, velvet, or small ribbon as our sketch No 48 shows it.

The small shoes explain themselves. As for the double pair of soles, use them preciously for the shoes.
