Looks like Tiffany from Wee Free Men.
I would like to own the settee/seat in this photo.

I do wonder why traditional clothing is pretty well always so totally uncomfortable. When I am QOTW (Queen of the World) I will create a garment of great ease and drape and declare it must be worn on Tuesdays.

It almost looks like she's wearing her knitting. Love the hat!

Hard to see, but is that some sort of knitted garment around her shoulders?

Wonder what she's working on... socks, maybe? Hard to see. But very cute anyway. :-)

The hats first became fashionable in the 17thC, and Welsh women just kept on wearing them when everyone else had moved on to something else.
With the revival of interest in Welsh culture in the late 19thC, the hat was a visible symbol of the culture, and was promoted enthusiastically by those who encouraged Welsh culture.

She's a continental knitter!! Who cares what she looks like - she's knitting at the speed of the wind. The hat just keeps her hair from blowing from the updraft~

Are you sure it should be called a costume instead of traditional clothes or even garb?

This one didn't even look embarrassed.

I've always wondered at the history behind a hat like that. I mean really, how and why would THAT have become the traditional design?

Looks like a lot of yarn storage space in the hat.
Fascinating hat.

The poor thing! No wonder she looks SO happy.

Are all witches Welsh?
It certainly looks like they've got the child in training to be one. Poor thing.

That hat doesn't surprise me half as much as how short her skirt is. How young must that child have been to be in a skirt that actually shows her legs?

That hat is a wonder!!
