Vintage Doll Clothes find!

I am always on the lookout for vintage doll clothes.

I especially look for items that might suit dolls I already have.

This Taffeta Ballerina dress caught my eye for my newest 14" doll.

 This fit my 14" doll perfectly!

I added a bit of bling.  It felt like it needed something.

Next I came across this satin pajama set.

I have been looking for some PJs for Shirley Temple.

They were perfect! I was hoping they would fit!

They fit and I love them!

I could not believe my luck winning this lot of clothes.

I was looking for clothes to fit a 15" doll.

What doll you ask?!?

This 15" Madame Alexander Elise doll!

I couldn't believe it, there were only minutes left on

her auction and NO ONE had bid!

Sadly her gold Ballet Costume makes her look drab.

I was hoping some of  the clothes in this lot would be

an improvement for her.

Here she is in one of the outfits.

This is a skirt and blouse made of satin and taffeta.

Unfortunately it is really for a thicker waisted doll.

I have the skirt pinned in back so it would fit.

I  made this little hat for this outfit.

I also made her some new jewelry.

This next outfit was also really too big.

I added a bow tie to pull it together.

I am undecided whether to resize these outfits or resell them?

This polka dot dress really caught my eye.

I was hoping it would fit Shirley

This dress was a little too big as well, but

with a ribbon tie added it's not too noticeable.

I decided that this  pinafore would make a 

great kitchen apron for Molly.

Perfect.

I knew this red dress was made for a Crissy doll.

This little lavender dress is maybe my favorite from 

this lot of clothes. I believe it is one of the older pieces.

It is a sheer Dotted Swiss that looks like it was made for

a Patsy Joan type doll.

Sadly there is a stain on the collar that just won't come out.

BUT! I still love it.

I added this little crochet hat and the pink bow.

I didn't get a picture of all these clothes.

But what I did find out is that I was not really happy with 

the clothes for Elise.

SO,

I decided I would just have to make an outfit myself!!

Here it is!

I also made her bandeau and jewelry.

Is it just me? or does she look much happier!!
