Ye Olde Christmas Gifts

Remember like two months ago when I told you that my sister and I received special Christmas gifts this year? And I was going to post about them? Yeah.... and I didn't..... well here they are now. We got two Ty Li'l Ones: Mariah and Hannah.

Ellie got Mariah and I got Hannah and you can see them in their boxes below.... we added in some bonus pics of Grandma's Christmas tree and some of her decorations. :-) We will have pics of the dolls out of their boxes, too -- they even went outside to build a tiny snowman. So stay tuned for those pics.




And the good news for you is that Penny picked up "Trendy Taylor" as a giveaway item for this year. She will be featured as one of our monthly giveaways for AG's 25th Anniversary at some point. Here is the standard manufacturer's image below because we haven't taken pics of her yet. She is very cute in person. :-)

Three Modern AG Outfits

We are a bit behind the times with these three outfits, but maybe people still want to see pics. The MyAG line just comes out with too much stuff too fast! We can't keep up.


Ziva is wearing the Western Riding Outfit sans cowboy hat. We have the hat as well-- but we figured we would show it with something else at some point to spice things up. This outfit comes with the dark coral tee shirt, jean skirt, white braided bracelet, and cowboy boots.


The bracelet is cool-- people should makes those to sell on Etsy or something. The skirt is really cute-- key there is a very thin denim -- that is how they avoid making the layers bulky.


Kit is modeling the Sweet Sugar outfit with the spastic Yorkie embroidered on the front of the sweater. ;-) This outfit includes the cream sweater, embroidered jeans, magenta headband, and dark pink shoes.


Overall, a nice outfit. We would recommend seamstresses look into whether they can embroider their own dolly jeans. Might make an interesting selling point. For example, it would be cool if you could make a Chinese dragon going up and around one leg of a pair of skinny jeans. (Obviously you would need an embroidery machine, but I can dream can't I?)


Emily is sporting the Cozy Plaid outfit. This number includes the pink plaid capelet, the pleated skirt, a long-sleeve cream shirt, and the awesome boots. There is A LOT of pink going on with Emily's outfit-- but we liked the style and the boots. And we are trying to encourage AG to stay trendy.


Seamstresses take note-- has anyone drafted a pattern for this type of capelet? We don't know of anybody. Maybe you should and then pitch it to LJ patterns or sell it yourself. Or sell the capelets yourself. This outfit was very popular for two reasons: the capelet and the boots.



Look forward to more awesome pics around the corner here at The Doll Wardrobe!

Meet Karito Kid Piper!

That's right-- we bought another Karito Kid! And back in December! Shocking! Okay... not really.... you all knew we were going to get more of these girls. ;-)

So to show you some more possibilities of the KK dolls in AG-sized clothing, we are showing Piper wearing the Liberty Jane Sofia outfit you saw in Saturday's "Purple Post" while she is hanging out with KK Gia. Our dark-haired beauty is modeling the Pippaloo purple belted dress seen in the same post.

And just FYI--- (as we have said before)-- Shirts, jackets, and dresses that are AG-sized may be a bit loose, and have slightly shorter sleeves on the Karito Kids dolls. We don't mind this-- they look good to us. But it might bug some of you out there. The skirts do tend to work really well for both types of dolls. For us -- it's the pants that don't tend to go from one type of doll to the other. But for other bits of clothing you can have fun experimenting. :-)

Without further ado, Piper and Gia....


Piper is a stunning doll... she has a kind of 'I don't care what you think of me' look on her face in most pics... but still very beautiful. We love her highlighted hair, skin tone, eye color, and freckles.


Slideshow....
