This blue colonial gown by Terristouch is in the style of American Girl's white plantation gown, which was a popular style for little girls. The dress includes growth tucks.

Samantha's Green School Dress by Terristouch

My Rosie (#23) is modeling a Samantha dress created Terristouch. There were a limited number of dresses made from this pattern--in fact, I don't even think this version ever made it onto an Etsy listing.

Let me tell you a nice thing that Terri does for her loyal customers. She maintains a special mailing list for her repeat customers who have opted-in to receive it. Every few weeks, she sends photo previews of her latest creations. The customers select and layaway the outfits they want. Based on a mutual honor system, she holds the outfits until the customers feel ready to pay. This could be over a course of a few weeks. This way if the customers are patient, they can save money on shipping or hold something until payday. Terri seems to have developed quite a following because sometimes I don't think the preview outfits make it to Etsy as an open listing because the older customers have already reserved it.

I think if you contact her via Etsy, she probably would add you onto the mailing list. I'm not sure, but whether she will do layaway with you might depend on if you had a previous smooth transaction with her.

Emma Woodhouse and Jane Fairfax

"It's too hot for strawberry picking!" says Emma Woodhouse (Elizabeth) to Harriet Smith (Lanie).


Harriet: "Fortunately, Mr. Knightley's hall is so much cooler. Oh, do you hear someone speaking?"


Officious Mrs. Elton (Ruthie) exclaims to Jane Fairfax (Rebecca): "But this post in Ireland will be very suitable for you. You will make an excellent governess."


"I thank you, but Mrs. Elton, I wish you would not intercede."


Harriet: "Oh, my, Miss Fairfax looks very unhappy. Should we help her?"


Emma: "Oh, there you are Miss Fairfax!"


Without saying a word, Jane runs off. Emma "Oh, she looked upset."


Mrs. Elton: "Those were probably tears of happiness! As she will be taking a post in Ireland and not be a burden to her aunt."


Mrs. Elton: "Mr. E is always saying how considerate I am, always thinking of others first."


Emma: "Indeed."


Emma's peach outfit was made by Vintiquedesigns. Harriet's blue gown was made by Jamiehistoriccostume. The Jane Fairfax gown was made by Terristouch

Jane Fairfax Regency Gown

This dress made by TerrisTouch reminds me of Jane Fairfax in a 1970s production of Emma. The following are from the original Etsy listing.
