Just like today, girls in colonial times wore lighter clothes to help endure hot, steamy weather. Felicity's pretty eyelet-edged summer gown has a fancy sash featuring butterflies and flowers. Her wide-brimmed straw hat shades her face from the sun and sits atop her lace cap.
Her brocade slippers are tied with ribbons. Note: very small discoloration on one sock as shown in photo. Comes from a smoke and pet-free home.
