Vintage Finds Part 2
It sure is wonderful to be able to go out and shop a bit. This is the more casual end of the FINDS from my Goody bags from a thrift store.
I've added a few other vintage or contemporary pieces to coordinate with these...goodies!

Vickie is taking some shots for her store, Vickie's Vintage.

Teresa and Casey model #1915 Outdoor Casuals from 1965, Skipper version came with blue pants also...but weren't in the goody bags. Both sweaters needed a few stitches, are labeled and are really perfect now!

They slide on the dolls fairly easily. The slacks are slightly stretchy and a gorgeous slubbed fabric. I've matched miscellaneous shoes to these outfits.

Zoe, looks so great in Vickie's living room. Her dress is a shift, Barbie original label, and zippered.
 |

Cotton snug-fit shifts were so popular during the 1960's. This labeled dress #1620 Junior Designer came with a plastic green belt, green closed toe heels, a design book, a metal iron, and lots of sticky appliques. Fortunately none were put on this dress, lol.

I've paired it with some Japan Barbie bow pumps that are lo-heel lime green (squishy). I found 4 different pair of these in a package for $10.00 in perfect condition the week before the goody bags. I personally wore green and orange versions of these in the late 1960's. Classic!

Vickie: You look fabulous in that dress, Zoe. Maybe I shouldn't list it on the website.
Zoe: I think I may have to keep it, and the shoes...pretty soon I will be working for you until I'm 90 to pay off all my wardrobe purchases.
Vickie: Well what would you like to be doing?
Zoe: Well, really finish my Fashion Design degree. I only have one year left. I could try and work in some evening online classes now.\
Vickie: Go for it, and if you want to design somethings for the store, go ahead.
Zoe: Wow, that might be fun. We always need accessories...I'll give that a try, maybe some colorful purses and bags? Gosh, we always need hats. Thanks, Vickie.
Vickie: I know what it's like to put your dreams on hold, maybe Joe and I can find some time to get married. He's been so busy at work. Sigh.......

Meanwhile, Chicagoland is getting some rain. Pinkie is in a vintage (non-Mattel) raincoat and matching hat. She's paired it with a mini-umbrella from Michael's and some vintage red boots.

The hat is a bit smooshed, but everything else is in great shape!

These netting pockets are unique, and the cool plastic lets the underneath fashion show through. I did see this somewhere---an off brand, TRU, Best Buy, Sears, Montgomery Ward---not sure, can't find the reference on my computer. Dating this from the 1970's.

Perfect attention getter for hailing a cab!

Gilly and Belle are dressed for one of our first warm days. Gilly (left) never wears a skirt, but today is dressed for going to her Zoomba classes. This long skirt covers up her shorts underneath.
 |

Of course the gym bag has to match (I added this) and stripe top is current Mattel. The skirt is a soft cotton knit, probably for a TNT doll, as the waist is very small.
Dating this from 80's.

Zoe wears a purple label blue dress with daisies and polka dots. It's a classic look in cotton knit! It's a bit roomy on top, so for the photo shoot it's clipped in the back under Zoe's hair, in order to make this NOT an X- rated shoot! We've added this cute Fashion Avenue box purse from the 2000's.

This cute sweater with label is from Vacation Time #1623, from 1965.
 |

This originally came with pink checked short-shorts with a zipper, pink pointed-flats and camera. I've paired this with blue cotton slacks with a mauve stripe found in one of the bags.

This shows the stitches printed on fabric from a panel 'cut and sew' slacks. One of many such fabric panels designed for fashion dolls in the 1960's. Here, the seamstress didn't quite get her stitching on the line. They are quite roomy, but were designed to fit a lot of different dolls available in the early to mid 1960's. I may add a couple of darts or try them on one of my curvy girls. It's just fun to have an interesting representation from the past.

The fabric panel was called, 'Evening Wear' for 11-12" dolls. I couldn't find a brand on this. Assuming its from the late 60's.

Scooter wears a Vogue labeled fashion, probably for a Ginny, Jill, or Jan Doll. With the clam digger length pants and attached top---she looks perfect for Spring.

Signature painted snaps, I haven't found
exactly what this outfit is, or which Vogue doll, but this is labeled. Red was very popular in the 1960's. Vogue Teen dolls were 10 1/2"-11" tall with heels and small busts and were made from 1957- 65, Ginny dolls started early in the 50's and were 8" tall. Jill and Jan were taller and with heels and small busts. Stay tuned for Part 3 Vintage Finds:
Dolls Love RED!
