This dress fits like a glove. ElspethsWhimsy sent the dress quickly and it was exactly as described. The big surprise was when I opened the box. A hat I had not ordered was on top. I though "Oh my, I'll have to send this back I didn't order it. Then I found the dress underneath. I realized it was a gift from and a lovely one it is. I have the two similar hats in straw in white and royal blue. I have been thinking about buying one in black. Now, I don't need to. It was in excellent condition and fit also. I an elated. Thank You ElspethsWhimsy, I hope your vacation goes as smoothly as this transaction did. 5* Service and then some!

It all started with the hats...

I'm known as the "Hat Lady" at my church. I love hats and fascinators- vintage, vintage-inspired, and modern.

So when my grandmother passed away, it was obvious who should have her hats. Unfortunately, I found most of her hats too small to wear. So what to do?

Well, my grandmother was a woman who loved to shop secondhand stores for the unexpected and interesting. I had some friends who had Etsy stores, and so the idea came to me- why not sell them on Etsy?

And so, Elspeth's Whimsy was born.

Originally conceived to be a hat-and-doll-clothes shop, it became more of an anything-that-takes-my-fancy shop, which is rather perfect, really, as Whimsy is my trade. :-)

I'm a one-girl show, usually, but I'm happy to have a photographer for a sister and family members who are happy to be hand and/or ear models for my jewelry.

So, you never know what you might find at my shop, but you know it'll always be something unusual. :-)

P.S. I would love to upload photos, but my work room is in a bit of upheaval as I figure out how to set it up in our new home, so that will have to wait for now.
