Not long after we launched Oliver + S,\u00a0 I started noticing an adorable little girl<\/a> who kept popping up in our Flickr group. She had enormous eyes, the sweetest face, and she was always wearing the cutest ensembles. (Her mother<\/a> has impeccable taste in fabrics and always selects the perfect prints for each pattern.) It wasn’t long before I contacted the girl’s mother and requested permission to create a paper doll based on her.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since then we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know this little girl, “H”, and her equally adorable younger brother. We’ve watched her grow up, we’ve spent some time playing together, we’ve mailed little gifts back and forth, and we’ve even emailed a bit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And so S and I are especially excited to officially introduce you to our new paper doll friend: Holly!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Holly<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We’re thrilled to feature Holly on our new spring patterns, which we’ll introduce to you starting next week. In the meantime, you can play dress-up with Holly<\/a> over on the Play page of our new website. She wears the separates, so you can mix and match the various tops and bottoms to see how they work together. We’re so excited that Holly is part of the fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
