Summary
Seven items of clothing (contents from Mrs Savage's doll's house, inventory number-662121). All doll's house size and hand-made apart from a pair of doll sized, factory-made knickers (to fit a Sindy-type doll). These are made from white cotton polyester patterned with small blue flowers and green leaves. They have narrow white lace at the legs and elastic at the waist. Also a small, pale blue, knitted dress or vest; a non-fastening sleeveless blouse made from pink polyester fabric patterned with blue and white flowers; a denim-blue coloured jumpsuit made from jersey-type fabric. There are also three crocheted items - two in red, flecked wool, one of which appears to be a hat, the other a short tube that may be a skirt - the other in purple wool, possibly another skirt. Total number of items is 7.
