Maine Historical Society
Around 1787, English styles were at the height of fashion throughout Western Europe and America, such as full dresses and open front skirts. Large bonnets trimmed with feathers were also popular. This doll’s fashions represent clothing worn at the Early Republic's outset. It is interesting how English fashion continued in popularity within the new United States.
