Well, hello there gorgeous! I’m thrilled to introduce Ms Summer to the world! the latest in my small set of seasonal girlies…
I hand-dyed natural calico with a small army of different iDyes to get Ms Summer’s lovely cocoa-toned skin tone, however her luxuriant mane of tawny hair came ready-dyed in this wonderful range of browns/charcoal/tan and the occasional touches of chestnut… and can I just say I over-the-top love her hair!! and actually would kill to have a crazy multicoloured mane like this myself…
I have hair envy!!!!
Like her friends, she comes with a whole lot of lovely clothes, to keep her comfortable and suitably attired for all seasons.
For summer, she has this pretty little wrap dress… one can never have too many stripes in one’s wardrobe.. oui? and the blue-and-white sets off her baby blues rather nicely too, I reckon. Also I rather like the way the stripes lie which way (but loose) all over her dress 
For winter, she has a turtleneck sweater in millennial pink – eeee! sah trendyyyyy! – with an attached denim miniskirt, also a pair of light periwinkle tights, and a hand knitted beanie in shades of slightly variegated lavender/mauve.
I have to say, I’m particularly enamoured of her little denim skirt… probably because when I was a teen I practically lived in little denim skirts myself. Teenaged me would no doubt have pounced on the pink turtleneck too, to be honest 
Of course she has cute little lace knickers too, with an embroidered rosebud on the front…
… and if she wishes to attend a soiree, or even just for strolling on the beach should such a thing take her fancy, she has a sequinned cocktail dress in a shade to perfectly highlight and set off her cornflower blue eyes.
… which she can accessorise with her classic pearl drop necklace…
… AND she has a jaunty emerald green duffle bag.. with pockets!! to carry all her kit
Ms Summer is currently listed over in our shop…
Not pictured above, but like all my dollies she also comes with a lavender tote bag that she and all her things can be safely stored in, when she’s not being played with.
