Old Doll Clothes - New Ideas

A dear customer of mine sent me a pile of old doll clothes recently. For inspiration ...I think it worked. I took some pictures of the pretty clothes she sent me. Some of them did not have any labels. So I don't know where they came from. But I particularly loved the old bloomers and pantaloons!

I got some great ideas how to spruce up my inventory and offer some new clothes that fit my style. The ruffled bloomers I posted yesterday where inspired by the old fashioned doll clothes you see in today's pictures. My mom made doll clothes like that for me when I was little. Unfortunately I wasn't able to save any of them. They got lost when I moved to the US. =(

Bonnets and Bloomers...

If you have been wondering what I have been up to. Well, it is simple: Bonnets and Bloomers. I have been making them in every color under the sun or should I say rainbow? They are available in flannel or plain cotton. The flannel ones come in pink, lavender, yellow, light blue.

The cotton sets come in any color you can imagine...

So now when you get an outfit for your dolly you can always find matching hat and panties. So much fun. And if you want to take it one step further: Order a pair of matching shoes. This way your doll can be entirely color coordinated. =)
