Short Dresses

**********************


Betsy had a large number of short dresses and variations. Betsy's Wardrobe by Lisa Heino is the best source for verifiying authentic outfits but these photos may help.  Lisa's book is indexed by name, fabric, type of clothing, and color, so it makes it very easy to look up an item.
