Today Josa is playing a medieval game with her brother. Both are dressed for the part. Josa is wearing a flowing medieval-style dress with bands of a different color fabric mid-arm and trimming of the same fabric at the neck. It also has a matching belt of the same fabric, held in place by a diamond shaped brooch.
It is raining again (it is time for the spring rains where Josa lives) and Josa and her family are going to a friend's house for dinner and a movie afterward. This dress is knit, long-sleeved, and drop-waisted with small ruffles at the cuffs and neck. There is also a ribbon and bow where the bodice attaches to the skirt.
When they were shopping the other day, Josa and her mother found this simple wool dress. Josa liked it and her mother bought it because she agreed it would be nice for holiday parties next winter.
Josa's family is volunteering at a Living History Center. This month's display is about life during the 1880's. Josa is wearing an authentic child's costume from the era. She has on a cashmere dress and a velvet coat with vest, cuffs and pockets of damassé.
Today, Josa is helping her mother with mending and they found her wool skating dress in the pile. Josa wore it a lot last winter, and in her second to last wearing, tore the skirt. Her mother has now mended it and it will be ready for her to wear when cold comes again.
Today, Josa is going to another picnic. She chooses a prairie-style dress her mother made for her last year. Yesterday, she helped her mother fry donuts for her contribution to the picnic fare, and now she's ready to go.
Today Josa is going to her piano lesson. She wears a knit dress with trim of a contrasting color on the neck, sleeves and hem.
Today, Josa and her mother are planting the plants they bought at the greenhouse. The day is a little chilly and rain is expected this afternoon. Josa wears a denim jumper over a long-sleeved knit shirt.
Today is rainy, so Josa's mother decided it would be a good day to go to the greenhouse and buy the rest of the plants they will need for their vegetable garden. Then, when it dries out, they can finish planting the garden. Josa wears a simple cotton jumper over a T-shirt for their trip.
