Ballerina BJD Dollmore Odette in Floral Coat and Pastel Cream Dress Photoshoot
It is time for my weekly bjd doll photoshoot. Today, Odette is taking the centerstage. She is a Dollmore ballerina doll. She is sporting a beautiful floral coat with a pretty pastel dress.

By today's standard, her outfit if just about average. There were some regional variants with standards. France after getting rid of the last Napoleon, there was a new sense of liberalism. The France of the 1880s had plenty of religious and social freedom. Foreigners could dress with their proper attires without been accosted in the streets.
