I was intrigued to see this fashion doll and her wardrobe at
the Fashion Museum in Bath because it reminded me of the teenage doll I had as
a child. This one is called Miss Virginia Lachasse and she was modelled on
Virginia Woodford, the house model for Lachasse of Mayfair. She was made in
1954 to raise money for the Greater London Fund for the Blind. Her clothes were
made to scale in the Lachasse workrooms, her stockings were made by Aristoc and
her cosmetics by Yardley. She even has tiny gloves and a handbag.
