Sophie Goes Out to The Opera


Sophie is off out for an evening at the opera.  She is wearing her best silk dress, with a matching cape to keep her warm from the chilly night air. Victorian ladies have to be very careful not to catch cold. Her bonnet is crocheted, and trimmed with the same navy blue lace as her cape.

    She's all dressed up to the nines - what's on? Madame Butterfly perhaps or maybe a Gilbert & Sullivan? She's definitely dressed for the occasion.

    Sophie is obviously a very fashionable young lady. Does she have a chaperone?

    All she needs is an elegant clutch with a pair of opera glasses inside!

    Sophie is wonderful! I just read back to your original Sophie post ... if Sophie had been my sister's I'm sure I'd have felt the same way. (I'm a big fan of Trudy's She too :) )

    I love dressing dollies. It's been a long time but your posts are making me want to find a Chatty Cathy size doll to make clothing for. I imagine the closest thing in size would be American Girl. Thank you for sharing Sophie's adventure.
