Further fashion inspiration can be provided by the 1960s wardrobe of Betsy McCall, which can be seen at the Bleu Door. Many little girls looked forward to these paper dolls each week, and the clothes were designed by real fashion designers!

This page, for example, from June 1961, shows gardening clothes that I am sure Melody would love!

Hopefully we will continue to see more patterns for Miss Melody!
