    Question

    I found this site that has some beautiful European doll dresses. They're supposed to be Swedish, Dutch and German. I'm looking for a dress for my 1914 Polish Jewish immigrant girl. Which of these dresses do you think would be the best choice?

    I don't know what a Polish outfit would look like, but I don't see one there. . .

    I like the Heidi dress or the Swedish Dirndel as they have simple designs. They seem the closest to the clothes that I have seen in pictures of immigrants around the turn of the century. The other dresses would be great for special occations or celebrations. The German National Costume would probably work the best. It looks similar to some dresses of Polish dolls I have seen.

    Right now I'm leaning toward the German National Costume

    The German one is the closest to the Polish national costume, which can be seen here in a picture I found through yahoo

    I also vote for the German dress! It looks most similar to the pic QNPoohbear posted.

    I don't know if it would be Polish, but I like the Swedish National Costume(the 2nd one).
    I like the red cap around the face and the trim on the outfit.
