La Poupee Modele August 1878
Premier Lingerie Trouseau
Surprise!. - This is the beginning of a complete trousseau on fabric for your pocket doll. This first set is made of nansouk. It contains a nightshirt, a slip, underwear, a nightgown, a night-cap, a nightshirt, all scallops, and a collar with the matched embroidered cuffs. Four handkerchiefs of pocket! … the one to embroider, the others simply hem.
Do I need, my Dear, to ask whether this surprise pleases you? My little old Poupee says it is the dream of many of you ...
It is not necessary for me to explain how you should make this cute trousseau, since your big sisters and your mothers will guide your small inexperienced hands. Let me just simply recommend a tip to leave as much seam, as possible by cutting our beautiful linen lingerie around the large line that marks the outline of the various patterns. Then, I say that, by sewing these nice little points, make seams fine, fine, as fine as possible and close the seams well, because your lingerie will have a much better fit and no unpleasant big seams.
I hope that the trousseau that we send to you produces, when it is finished, all the good effect which it deserves. This, indeed, can not fail to do so as a great honor and address the skill of the girlfriends of
Your Old Poupee
