Presenting Eliza a kindly street seller, wearing clothes which have seen better days with their holes and frays…

Wearing a blue skirt with apron over both with holes and ageing,
a check blouse and a cord navy waistcoat with four buttons…

Eliza has a kindly face with soulful eyes, while her lines and wrinkles tell a story of a harsh life. Her hair is worn up in a bun and she wears her ‘best’ hat which is trimmed with pretty flowers…

To help keep the cold at bay she wears a scarf at her neck
and over her shoulders she wears a rather shabby shawl.

Eliza carries a basket of flowers while offering a single rose for sale at just a tuppence… basket and flowers made by Vicky Guile.

Black stockings, patent leather buttoned boots and simple, plain undergarments complete her ensemble.

As always, all hand~sewn and hand~dyed by me.

If you have any enquiries regarding Eliza
or any other doll, please do email me…
