Penny Wooden Doll (dresses w/tatting)

I was unsure about hand washing these

doll dresses.  I have had the Penny Wooden Dolls 

for several years.

I bought the dresses at a local doll show -- they are lovely with the tatting.   I gave one to my Siste-in-Law, too.  Her doll dress had blue tatting --

I went ahead and hand washed & air dry.

They look SO MUCH BETTER.
