This is my new Patsy Joan.
I found her in a thrift store and she was wearing this outfit.
Not a great outfit for a 1930's era doll.
Looking through eBay I found this outfit.
It was made for a Patsy Joan doll.
It is hard to see what it really looks like, but I risked it!
It came with a slip and matching bloomers.
Here she is all dressed up!
I love the hand embroidered touches.
Such a sweet bonnet.
I love this outfit - SO CUTE!
Before and After
What a difference a dress makes!
Patsy Joan looks so much better in the after outfit.

Patsy Joan looks okay in the original outfit but looks much better in her new one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Thanks Joan, I agree. It's so amazing how a new outfit can change a doll so much!
ReplyDeleteMe too Marilyn. I was really thinking I would sell this Patsy Joan doll when I thought of looking for a new outfit for her. I'm very happy with her new look.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marion, I also ordered an original dress pattern for Patsy Joan. I will be sure to show you any new outfits I make for her.
ReplyDeleteYou always have such good luck finding lovely dresses on ebay. What is the secret to your success?

Thanks Fawn, I am very happy with this little dress. I spend a lot of time on ebay! haha. It is my home "thrift store". I do searches on my dolls and see what comes up. Sometimes I just do a search on "Vintage Doll Clothes" I find a lot of fun things that way.
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! Love it as well as Patsy Joan! :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you Carolyn, I love her new dress. It made such a difference in her whole appeal.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
ReplyDeleteIt was after this new dress that I KNEW I was going to keep my Patsy.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are keeping her. :o)
ReplyDeleteI just love her. I am glad I waited a bit before I decided what to do with her.
ReplyDeleteThis is a darling outfit for patsy Joan. I love that it had undies to go with the dress - someone really put a lot of love into the look - I love embroidery.
ReplyDeletePatsy Joan is one of my favorite dolls, so happy you found one in a thrift store!

Thank you Jabet,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this outfit. It was made by Effanbee for the Patsy Joan reproduction dolls from the 1990s. It is too small for my Vintage Patsy Joan, but does fit the 14" Patsy dolls. I have actually found a couple of these dresses on eBay.
Hugs
