[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9556145, member: 2844"]She is wearing what remains of a costume from Volendam, the Netherlands: [ATTACH=full]456306[/ATTACH] [URL]https://volendammerklederdracht.info/vrouwenkleding/[/URL] Doll's costumes are rarely correct, for instance the clogs should be black and were usually worn with the work dress, shoes were worn with this more formal dress. And the braids are not part of any Dutch tradition. Those braids could lead you to think she is German. Volendam is a small fishing village near Amsterdam. Volendammers have a specific identity, and many are descendants of the Spanish who occupied the Netherlands in the 16th-17th century. This costume is only worn in that village, not in other parts of the Netherlands. Datewise I think she is early-mid 20th century, but Judy and Bou can probably tell you more.[/QUOTE]
