Dear Ladies at Recollections,
Please let me introduce myself. My name is Walda and I live in The Netherlands.
As a young girl I loved classical ballet and historical films with princesses in beautiful outfits. When I was au pair in London I saved some money to have taken my first picture in period clothing. It felt great!
Back in Holland I studied art history at University and became a member of a court dancing company. For ten years I danced walses and polkas and allemandes in rococo and biedermeier costumes; I have always known I was born in the wrong century!
Now, I'm a mother of two beautiful girls and we live in a late 19th century house. Especially for Father's Day I asked a portrait photographer to take this picture. Here I'm wearing my first ensemble from Recollections. I have ordered some more now and I can't get enough of it. I adore your outfits and so do my daughters! If possible, I would wear them every day.
Thank you for the possibility to dream a little girls dream!

Thank you sooo much for the beautiful dress! I am a Civil War and Western romance author, and I do historical and living history presentations during my book signings. The calico dress is authentic in every detail I need it to be to portray the main character of the new trilogy at the signings and in promotional materials. I still can't thank you enough. I'll have to write a ballroom scene into one of my next books just so I have an excuse to purchase one of your ball gowns. =) Again, thank you so very much for your expert styles and craftsmanship, and for being such a delight to work with.
