And then I never wore it. I tried it on in my house and danced around, but never wore it. Now it doesn't fit, but I still have it. I still love looking at it.

For instance I know that not all tartans are genuine Sottish plaids as some spring from the imagination of a Chinese textile worker.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-15152723899764086402014-08-24T00:20:30.123+01:002014-08-24T00:20:30.123+01:00I too thought of all those lovely costumes I'v...I too thought of all those lovely costumes I've seen on the stage and wondered how close they were to genuine national dress.

I had never heard of Llangollen but it was mentioned in my grandmothers letter (in my post this week) so I Googled Llangollen to see where it was. I intend on visiting North Wales on a dream genealogy trip in future and put Llangollen on the "bucket list". Then I read your post and see Llangollen mentioned! What are the chances?? Yes it is definitely on the list now!<br /><br />Another enjoyable post.

But my favorite has to be those Scotsmen in their kilts! ;-)<br />Even though everyone in the U.S. can trace their origin back to another country with its own costume history, we do have a costume history distinctively American - at least with regard to the pioneers who crossed the plains & mountains. For the women: Calico dresses & sunbonnets. And for the men: Fringed suede jackets & coonskin caps.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-60752965911811556572014-08-22T20:34:44.852+01:002014-08-22T20:34:44.852+01:00I had a Japanese doll, which I'd forgotten abo...I had a Japanese doll, which I'd forgotten about until I saw your Flamenco dolls.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-83025206992455908872014-08-22T13:37:54.020+01:002014-08-22T13:37:54.020+01:00Your Spanish dolls are just like the ones my aunt ...Your Spanish dolls are just like the ones my aunt brought back from a trip to Spain to give to my girls.
