Josie is wearing her new Summer dress- she loves the matching cardigan which keeps her warm when the sun goes in.

Josie’s summer dress set includes-
A simple top down dress which is knitted flat. Her dress is fastened with a back button, and the skirt is edged with garter stitch. And a matching Cardigan.
Under her dress she has little white knickers and her red Mary-Jane shoes with pearly buttons finish her summer Dress Outfit
