Isabel ™ -England, 1592 Never Opened/Removed from Box Isabel ™ stands 9" tall, and comes with the book , Isabel: Taking Wing , by Annie Dalton, Mark Elliott (Illustrator) For 12 year old Isabel Campion, Christmas Eve is a day of bright, shivery happiness. At last she will see here beloved brother, Robert, and hear of his exciting life as an apprentice to a spice merchant. How she longs for adventures and excirtement of her own! Isabel dresses quickly in the chilly air, starting with a real farthingale, a petticoat that stand out stiffly from her waist . The bigger the farthingale, the more yards of expensive fabric neeeded to cover it - as so the wealthier the family. Isabel's bodice and overskirt are made from rich, soft velvet lined with gold satin, and her underskirt is silk jaquard. Her girdle, or belt, holds a mirror, keys, and a gem-studded pomander, filled with lavender to cover up the smells of the city and to protect her from disease. With her hair tucked into a snood, or hairnet, Isabel's starched lace ruffle frames her face, and calls attention to the gold and pearl jewelry that shows off her father's social standing . But Isabel has adventure, not social status in mind, and her determination leads her to the most rewarding - and dangerous - adventure of her life.
