Undies!

Does it sound weird that Meg and I are fascinated with dolly underwear? We are clearly not the only ones, though. It seems that every few weeks there is a discussion thread bemoaning the dearth of historically accurate underthings for dolls. This led to the creation of our Foundations line: creations in muslin, batiste, and handkerchief linen, featuring sumptuous details like featherstitched hems, vintage Cluny lace, and corset boning. And we have plans to add to this line in the future! Here are the five items currently for sale in the Foundations line:
