December Dress-a-Thon!

I am always hunting for 

Vintage Doll Dresses online.

It's a great way to find dresses 

for antique and vintage dolls.

I showed you this photo in my previous post.

I really just wanted this Miss Revlon 'Kissing Pink'

dress in the top corner for my new Miss Revlon.

BUT...

All these dresses were in that same box 

of vintage doll clothes as well!

I also found these two tagged 

Little Miss Revlon dresses

AND...

This no-name ball gown for 10" fashion dolls

in separate purchases. 

I'm going to start with this big bunch of dresses first!

I am just picking out some of my favorites to show you.

Did you notice this sweet peach playsuit?

Here it is on my Shirley Temple.

So cute!

Next is this sweet handkerchief dress.

It was very stained and wrinkled.

I was not sure I could get the stains out.

BUT

After a good long soak it is ready!

I LOVE THIS!

I've been looking for a pretty Christening gown

 for my China Baby Doll, Ellen.

This is the China baby my Grandmother

painted for me in 1972.

This little orange print dress has a drop

waist and big collar. It just needed a wash and press.

Here it is now on my Joan. 

She wears it well.

Next is this pink and blue dress

Here it is on China Baby Ellen, and...

Here it is on Helena.  It's a little big, but

very sweet. I'm not sure this dress is right

for either of these girls, sigh.

This Patsyette playsuit I never even noticed until

I opened the box at home!

This is an amazing find!

An original 1930s Patsyette playsuit.

This is a very cute PJ set. I am not

sure if it will fit my 18" doll or a 14" doll.

These were too small for Miss Revlon, 

but very pretty PJs for Betsy.

This little blue dress was also a fit for Betsy!

I added 3 little buttons and the belt I made

for Betsy when she first arrived.

That little belt goes with everything!

OK, enough from that big box lot

Here are the 10.5" Fashion Doll dresses!

I won a bid for these 2 tagged Little Miss Revlon dresses.

The red stripe I just ironed out the creases.

I chose navy shoes and accessories.

Very pretty Julia.

This aqua print had some stains

on the bodice...

But they were improved after a good soak.

The stains are still a tiny bit visible

but I didn't want to lose any more 

color from the print.

This pink ballgown was a great deal

and I couldn't pass it up.

It needed some repair stitches around the waistline.

All the edges are fray-checked and repaired.

Then just a good pressing.

I added a little ribbon rose at the waistline.

I think Amanda looks lovely.

There are still a LOT of little dresses, slips

and panties that I haven't even had time to 

wash and press.

BUT...

I am definitely happy with all these recent finds.

I hope you enjoyed seeing them as well.
