Thrift store doll clothes are so fun to find.
I found these pieces in my town.
I particularly love this dress because...
Dachshunds!
This dress will be getting a makeover.
This grey and white floral is made in the
same style as the Dachshund dress.
This skirt is SO cute!
Then a 30 minute drive away I found these.
This pink jumper.
And this cute PJ set and slippers.
As if that was not enough...
THEN!
Just guess who I found?
An 18" Madame Alexander
1977 Pussycat Doll.
She is very clean and her crier works!
I washed her hair, just so I could style it.
I put rollers in her bangs, but
I might have saved myself the trouble.
They didn't curl.
The clothes are all washed and ironed.
want to see how they look now?
Here
They
Are!
I added a collar, sleeves and pocket to the
Dachshund dress.
I used this reproduction 1930s style fabric.
Nice pose Joan!
This skirt is very cute, but it needs
something...
It reminds me of my Mom's square-dance
dresses. I used to wear them for
dress-up as a girl.
Sally Ann likes the PJs.
She says they are very soft.
Joan is looking very pretty in the grey floral.
I added this little sweater since
it's getting cool here.
AND
HERE
IS
THE
BABY!
She is very sweet!
Turns out the jumper fits her.
I think it needs a blouse underneath.
She is very sweet! BUT, sadly I already
have a doll just like her and the doll room
rule is: "only one of any doll".
She is up for adoption!

What wonderful finds! I love that dachshund dress. Wouldn't it be sweet to find such a fabric for Betsy McCall? Ya know that brown skirt could be adapted for fall too... although I love the idea of a square dance outfit... lots to think about, but you always come up with some good ideas and makeovers. Should be a lot of fun! 😊🧡🌼🦊🍁🍂🌻
Hello friend.
Thank you, I am very pleased with the Dachshund dress. I just happened to have that repro fabric in the right colors! I am going to keep looking for something that works better for the brown skirt. I may see if it could be fitted to my 18" Miss Revlon dolls.

Hi Brenda,
The Dachshund dress is so cute. That was another wonderful haul of clothes you got! I love Madame Alexander pussy cat dolls, as always you have done a fantastic job of restoring her to her former glory. I hope she finds a home soon.

Hi Anna,
Thank you! I have been so fortunate in finding these clothes. I too love the MA Pussycat dolls. These era babydolls are so sweet. TO dind her with her crier still working is amazing.

How I would love to adopt the Pussycat doll,but I can not do money transfers from Zimbabwe and transport would be an issue. I have a doll made in South Africa (SAD) that looks similar to her, she was sold inb1970 as Daisy.
Regards
Margaret.
Hello Margaret,
I wish you could adopt the Pussycat doll too!! It is frustrating trying to ship to other countries. It’s so expensive! I’ve heard of SAD dolls from another reader here. I love learning about dolls in other parts of the world.
Hugs
Brenda
