Item is beautiful. One improvement I would suggest is the secure the stitching at the ribbon tie. Ribbon tie is not stitched securely.

Great doll. And a very nice informative write up was included. I wished I had received the darker color fabric as I received a very pale color but nice regardless. Thank you.

Vintage and Sustainable Fashion!

Lisa's first job in 1978 was at a vintage clothing shop. Collecting and loving all her adult life, Retroactive was first opened in Tahlequah, Oklahoma in 2006. While living temporarily in Los Angeles, she began collecting eclectic, unusual and handmade vintage clothing in hopes of reopening the shop. Today, she operates pop-up boutiques and online.

As a musician, and married to a musician, producer and performer, Lisa has focused mainly on clothing suitable for the musician or other performer for stage wear, events and appearances, and photo shoots. She also caters to collectors and those who desire fine vintage fashion. She also specializes in 1960-50’s wedding and wedding night apparel for the bride.

Downsizing her 40 year collection, you never know what you’ll find!
