Collectible Dolls & More!

I was just asked a question about the Willow & Daisy dolls clothing.   Thought some of you may be interested in this information. Doll Artist Doug James designed these Mod dolls for the  L. L.  Knickerbocker in the late 1990″s. They were called the Mod British Birds. The clothing for these dolls were wonderful mod fashions from the 60′s – 70′s.

Q.       Will these outfits  fit the Tonner Sydney doll body or other fashion dolls?

A.        Willow and Daisy outfits will fit several of the 15-16″ fashion dolls.  I have had several of these outfits on the original Tonner doll bodies and they have fit fine.  Several of these mod fashions are loose fitting through the waist line, such as dresses with A line skirts and empire waist lines.  Since these are not tight fitting they will adjust well to the small differances in other dolls measurements. I have had some of  these outfits on Gene and they also work well. Gene just steps a bit into the future when she wears these fashions. I have found that the fashions tend to always fit Ellowyne and the Joe Tai 16″ fashion dolls. However the Willow and Daisy shoes do not fit many of this size doll. Some of the taller dolls who will tend to have larger feet can wear them.  All the 15-16″ dolls seem to have just a bit different measurement either in the bust, waist or hips. But many of these dolls are able to share clothing depending on the cut of the fashion and the fabric.  The stretchy fabrics and the looser fitting styles will help in  exchanging cloths with more of your dolls and their friends.

Hope this information has been of help to you. I would like to hear about your experiences of exchanging clothes among your dolls. We all like to find new dolls to wear the wonderful pieces we purchase.
