A Daughter Returns: The Doll's Dress
The “story” below is printed on the fabric:
This doll has seen better days. I’m glad I was able to photograph her before she became to tattered. Currently all that remains is the áo dài, the Vietnamese traditional dress worn by men and women. It consists of two parts: a long upper dress with a deep slit on both sides and a plain baggy pant. My doll brought to me by my dad from his 1957 tour in Vietnam wears the fitted version updated by Saigon tailors in the 1950s. Her dress has the high stand-up collar complete with a brass necklace. The pattern details a placid scene unaware of the conflict yet to come
Size is approximately 52 x 52 inches.
