I have so many new doll outfits to share today!
I have been on a vintage doll clothes roll lately and have
made some great finds.
Let me start with the blue gingham dress
(bottom right) from my last post.
I never got around to it before so I want to show you now.
I was not sure who it would work for, but now I know!
It fits Cricket and even has that 1970's
granny dress look.
I added some pink ribbon touches,
just to add some interest.
I found this new lot of doll clothes last week.
I was hoping one of these might be a Cissy or Elise sized dress.
When I opened the package I saw at once that 3 of the dresses
were sized for an 18" doll.
This salmon dress is very pretty on Molly.
The color is so pretty.
This dress was not pictured with the rest and I missed it in the ad.
So I was surprised to see it in the package!
I think this little dress makes a very sweet sundress.
It matches Emma's eyes.
This dress is taffeta with pink, blue and grey stripes.
I knew Grace would look lovely in it.
All 3 together make a pretty picture.
This next dress I hoped would fit Cissy,
but it's too big!
I debated fitting it down, but it's not really
very flattering on her.
I believe this coat is also for a larger fashion doll.
I think this coat and the larger dress I will resale.
BUT WAIT!!
This next dress is PERFECT!!
Is this not adorable!?!
Vintage 1950's and it fits Elise perfectly.
Elise borrowed Cissy's bandeau.
The blue brings out her eyes.
A view of the back.
The skirt has a Roman Chariot pattern.
You can't tell from the picture but there is silver
glitter touches in the fabric.
I just love this new dress for Elise!
hat a great bundle of clothes. i like the dress on Cissy very much. Very classy.

Thank You for sharing your great finds. All of the doll clothes are lovely, but my favorite is that gorgeous coat. I would not give that up. After all you may eventually purchase a doll that will fit into the coat.I love the color of that coat.

I like all the outfits but that burgundy coat is a keeper. Thank You for sharing your finds.

Thanks Joan, I like that dress too, but it's WAY too big.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marilyn, I like the coat too, but I am just not sure I want to adjust it. I thought about making it into a Christmas outfit of some kind...hmmm, I may try something with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marion, glad you enjoyed the post. I am now debating about the coat. I will play around with it and maybe change my mind about selling it.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of the collar on the taffeta dress, but all of the other dresses are lovely. Cricket looks adorable and Elise's dress is especially fun with the chariot pattern. You certainly have a knack for finding beautiful vintage clothing.

You know Fawn, now that you mention it, that collar is really too big. I knew there was something about it I didn't care for. It was not my favorite piece either. There is always one in these clothes lots. The chariot dress is SO adorable. The pictures do not do it justice. The dress on Cricket is really cute too. When I tried it on her I was just thinking she was the only doll the right size, but after it was on, I was very happy with it - it suited her so well.
