The week before I married Ken, I decided to make a “Squaw” dress. Do you remember those? I used a nut beige cotton with gold ric-rac and gold and white trim. I sold it a few years ago when I had a booth for ten times what I had in it. Becky said, “Mama I wish you wouldn’t sell it! (But you can’t keep every thing.)
Today, Becky sent an exact copy of it in the form of a doll dress. It was uncanny. Same fabric. Same trim. Same ric-rac. She found it in an estate sale. Only thing I can figure is that I must have seen the dress in a book and copied it, and someone else did the same thing. But the doll dress was done by two people. One who knew what they were doing, and another who didn’t. Maybe a grandmother and grandaughter making a doll dress. It is a puzzlement!!
