I managed to find a very rare local woman who used to be my size and height, but she's downsized and lost weight and is looking to rehome things she can no longer use.
My son says the photo should be sepia toned because it looks like it was taken a hundred years ago, but I love the red so a good friend of mine modified it to keep the red in the coat. And some of my other English friends say I look like the queen, complete with a long-legged corgi. Well I guess corgis and welsh sheepdogs are both herding dogs from Wales, so it's not far off!
I bought the pashmina-style headscarf from her too and am attempting to learn how to tie it so it doesn't look completely ridiculous on me. I might start a thread on permie ways to tie them for alternative uses, like rodilhas for carrying things on your head. There must be ways to tie them into baby carriers and harvesting aprons too...
