Hi Marjorie! When you clicked on an image it took you to pinterest? I'll check on that when I get home. It should only do that if you click on the "P" that happens during a mousehover. Anywhere else on the picture should just bring up a larger version of that picture. If you want a larger version of any of the pictures, let me know. I do have an archive of them. What drives me nuts are the sellers that say you can cut up these lovely gowns for doll clothing. Sellers advocating the destruction of what are in many cases some of the few remaining examples of a specific style is irresponsible to me. I allow anyone to comment on any of the posts. If a seller sees one of the gowns they sold up, they are always welcome to comment or add any further clarification. I also love it when others comment for further clarification on various items I put up. I do sometimes email the sellers to tell them what time period their piece is from but well, some were very insistant that it was Great Aunt Mertyls that she wore to her wedding in 1923 despite the clearly defined waist, above the knee length skirt, and wild colors only seen in the 1960's and never again trimming. ;-) Sincerely, Isabella
