Shambles Dandy #6

A Shambles Dandy is a flamboyant ghost colourfully patterned with drips and pours.

The term “dandy” was first used in the late eighteenth century, but became better defined in the early nineteenth century. At first, "dandy" referred to a group of trendsetting young aristocrats in England. Other names for dandies include beaus, mashers, fops, and exquisites. Although first used to refer to a flamboyant dresser, by the nineteenth century a dandy was a man who dressed with a calculated stylishness. In the twenty-first century the term is still used to refer to either a fastidious or extravagant dresser.

Each ghost has its own unique markings of drips and pours. No two are the same ,every one is a true original and the sixth in our series of Shambles Dandies that have been for sale online.
