Vintage doll clothes, part 1

I was going to do more than one outfit per post, but I'm running behind this morning, so I'll start off with just one this time. It's made out of double knit, scraps from an outfit I'd made for an adult. Gotta love double knit... no wrinkles even after being crammed in a duffle bag for years!


Nearly every dress has matching bloomers, too.


That's it for now. To be continued.......

P.S.  I whipped up a quick ("quick"? haha... as usual, it took longer than I expected it to) Halloween costume for Courtney over the weekend. I delivered it last night, as it was needed for Show 'n Tell at school today, but since Courtney had a wet head and was in her pj's, I took no pictures. However, she's bringing it back tomorrow for a slight adjustment, so we'll do photos then!

Cute little outfit on Dolly, I'm off to plan some clothes for all the AG dolls that live here. Thanks for the inspiration!

So cute. Alas. My daughter is 'growed' up. No grandkids. Hmmmm. But the cat boys might look great in bloomers!!!
Thanks!

Ha! I can just imagine trying to get that outfit onto one of my cats!! If I ever do it, I'll be sure to take a pic for you! ;)

I noticed the perfect lighting.

You'll have trouble if you try to get one of your cats into an outfit.
But then, maybe you like a challenge.

Thanks, Dale!

I wonder if dressing them in those clothes would be any harder than clipping Josie's claws. That's a challenge I don't like much, but she's getting better. I wasn't bleeding when we finished yesterday. ;)

My grandmother made a whole quilt out of our double knit scraps! Wow, that thing is super heavy. I'm only saving it for sentimental reasons...
