Artist/Maker
Place of origin

Sindy 'Country Walk' outfit. The dog is not included, though the bowl and bone are. The suedette jacket and tweed skirt are very classic of the sixties, though in later editions, a different style of tweed was used from the one shown in this example of the outfit. This outfit was not featured in leaflets and pamphlets later than 1965, though it has been established that the outfit was available for purchase as late as 1969.
