Vintage 8 inch doll Clothes

On recent doll hunting trips I have been

finding a lot of vintage items.

During the 1950's there were many 8 inch dolls 

toy shelves. You could find Ginny from Vogue,

Ginger from Cosmopolitan, Pam from PMA,

Alexander-kins, Lollipop from Virga and most

likely a host of others.

This post will be about some of the clothes

I have found for the Vintage 8 inch doll.

My most recent acquisition was found

at the Thrift Store.

This outfit was found in the round box marked 

American Cellubox Corp

These were the items that were in the box. 

The red dress was the only piece labeled. 

"A Prissy Costume"

Trademark of Chello Corporation 

The next outfits I picked up at a Garage Sale. 

This is an outfit for the Ginger Doll by 

Cosmopolitan

No label or tag 

Another with no label or tag

This dress has a label marked Vogue Dolls. 

Most likely for Ginny.

I now have to go look and see where my childhood Ginger Doll is.

She would look great in the red outfit for Christmas.

Crocheted Doll Outfits Video

I promised to make a video of 

the other dolls with their crocheted

outfits that I bought the other day 

at the Thrift Store. 

So here it is:

Today's Thrift Store find - Crochet Doll Clothes

Haven't been finding too much at the 

Thrift Store lately.  Today was a different 

story.  I decided to go when it first opened.

On the racks, I saw dolls dressed  in crocheted doll

clothes.  At first I thought, I didn't need any more

Blond Barbies or clones, but then the clothes were unique. 

I could always take the clothes off and get rid of the 

dolls.  So I put two in my cart and then went down

another aisle and there were a few more. 

Then I started looking more closely at the dolls. 

I realized some of these dolls were older Integrity Dolls. 

They were all over the store.  I wound up with twelve dolls.

I am only going to post pictures of one of the dolls and will

try to do a video of the others. 

Oriental type of outfit 

All the clothes are removable.  Who ever made

these put snaps on the clothes.

Underneath are a pair of crocheted black pants. 

The sandals reminded me that my fellow 

doll bloggers have been talking about the 

sandals that another doll blogger makes.

Limbe Dolls

makes sandals for her dolls using other materials. 

From what I hear she is going to have a tutorial 

on her blog on how she makes her sandals sometime 

in September.  Check out the other tutorials on 

her site.  They are wonderful.  Clear, precise 

directions. 

The link again is:

The person who made the sandals glued them 

to Barbie's feet.  Have to try and remove them. 

If you know how to crochet, these sandals look 

easy enough to make.

Question: Does anyone crochet?  I was wondering if I could 

hand wash the clothes and dry them flat.  The woman used crochet thread to make 

the clothes. 

Hopefully will work on the video this weekend to show the other 

outfits and dolls I bought today.
