Elaine, you are amazing, I love how you have done the research on the color - I followed the link and read everything about turkey red, amazing. I can't wait to utilize that site more. As I told you on Maida, love the painted chemise and now that you list your inspiration from an actual antique doll - I love it even more. Thank you for sharing ---- Kathie
