Pinner apron12/21/2023 I like the color, it's not a traditional pink to me, and not really a salmon, but somewhere in between the two. My Lissie wears them a lot but part of that is also because I tossed out her meet stockings years ago due to icky holes in them. They have a nice embroidery and they're not a plain white or black, which is a nice change. The pompon is cute and I usually can get it on fairly easily. They might be a tad long but that's alright. I lost the pins long ago but I think similar bigger straight pins might work, too. The apron's print is very pretty and the top stays up alright sometimes, without the pins. Certain pinks are clashy but others not as much-or at least no one has given me weird looks/told me I look awful in pink). Also, I don't think it really clashes with Felicity's hair (and yes, redheads can wear pink-I do. Some of the book illustrations show it alone, too (with Nan having a similar purple one). The gown looks lovely by itself, without the apron and pompon. It's not too light, not too bright, and not too dark. The color is a nice medium dusty pink (or what I think of a dusty pink). It was the first extra outfit I had gotten for my Felicity (got it for her birthday in Spring 1998). I got mine in 1998.ĮTA: I was looking back at this and should probably give it a more proper review This has always been one of my favorite historical outfits. I don't know if the newer ones have it but mine has a small blue flower on the pompon along with pink and white flowers. Here are the best pics I have of my Lissie wearing this. P.s It also looks cute with Kirsten's Daisy wreath The pins come on a sheet of cardstock that tells you that safety pins weren't invented yet and how straight pins were used. It has to be arranged a certain way so the flowers don't stick out too much and look silly. The ponpon is really cute- it's a regular pink ribbon with a bunch of flowers. The apron is made from heavy fabric so it stays up even without the pins. The sleeves are 3/4 legnth and have little roses on the ends. This dress isn't one of my favorites because of the pink color and Felicity being a red head. Tie it around her head with a pink satin ribbon. English daisies and tulips form the pompon Felicity's mother gave her on her birthday. Fasten the flowered apron, called a "pinner," to the dress with tiny straight pins - safety pins hadn't been invented yet! Felicity's stockings have hand-embroidered decorations called "clocks" sewn in a daisy pattern. PC description: Felicity's elegant spring gown of tulip pink has pleated cuffs at the sleeves, highlighted by silk rosettes. It was introduced in 1991 and retired in 2009. This outfit is worn by Felicity in the books Happy Birthday, Felicity! and Felicity Saves the Day.
