We are coming to the end of the Christmas haul. Which means that we have some more clothing to share and we are getting closer to the annual dolly fashion show!
Also, when this whole virus thing ends, check your thrift stores as a lot of people I know have been doing some cleaning! And that includes old toys which could be our new treasures!
On Christmas, my dad had a small tupperware tub with a pink lid and in it were three doll boxes. It was not wrapped. So I asked him "Is that for me?!" HA.
Boxes and original fashions for Sunsational Malibu Barbie, Fashion Play Barbie and Tropical Miko. Nice!
I'm not sure if these are OOAK or Best Buy Fashions. I've looked through and through and cannot find anything that these were put out by Mattel. So if you know if they are, please let me know!
Teal Coat
Brown coat with fur trim.
Red corduroy coat with trim that reminds me of an Asian coat. Very pretty.
Red coat with snap closure.
Lime coat with buttons and I believe snaps underneath. I'm liking this color!
White coat with red details.
Another red coat. Someone liked red apparently!
A black fur coat/vest/shrug. Might be good for Halloween :)
Light blue lace hooded poncho. (Do all ponchos have hoods?) This is very nicely done and makes me wonder if this was manufactured.
Red pleather trench coat.
White fur coat with red liner. Reminds me of the coat from the vintage fashion Ice Breaker.
A very nice wedding gown with little panties. Nice satin fabric.
And a very nice little petticoat to poof the dress out. Needs some ironing but will be nice when I get it cleaned.
Another wedding dress, this one lace and also with a petticoat and panties.
A tulle slip/petticoat
A VERY nice blue dress. This one also makes me wonder if it was a best buy fashion or some sort.
Light blue robe
Pink polkadot pajamas. With two tops
White nightgown with pink details and lace neckline, cuffs and hem
Two printed long sleeve shirts
Three more long sleeve tops. Check out that blue and yellow one! The black and white one reminds me of 80's active wear.
Short sleeve shirts. Plain, gingham and sleeveless red satin with sequin hem.
Red knit sweater and red striped blouse.
Denim jumper. I kind of like the raw edges on the pockets. Left one needs a little fixing up.
Two skirts. Off white with brown decorative stitch and grey with gold ribbon design.
Two blue skirts
Okay. Let's talk about this one. Tutti! Tutti was the twin sister of Todd (and then it changed to Stacy?) and the littlest sister of Barbie and Skipper. She came out in 1966 and was discontinued in 1971. So there were not that many outfits made for her. She went on to become more popular in the Europe and Canadian markets and was there until 1980. So the person here was referencing outfit #8465 and was called "Cute Suit." However that outfit had a red leather skirt like this one but it was not a jumper. It also had a red leather vest. So I do not think this one is a Tutti outfit.
Black and blue skirts
Four skirts. Red, floral, grey and lime green. Again, loving the lime green!
Light blue skirt and another skirt that has stoplights on it!
Two floral aprons
Light yellow blouse and denim jacket.
Brown knit sweater and a black fringe vest.
Blue striped hooded blouse with gathering at the waist and green gingham blouse.
Green sweater and plaid vest
Shorts! Pink, orange, red with side design and hawaiian print/black
Pink and grey shorts and blue striped capris.
Floral, tan and blue leopard capris
Blue stretchy jumper and matching pants
It's my job here in the next couple of weeks to sort through my OOAK clothes and get them organized. And then I can organize just manufactured clothes and OOAK clothes.
Have you been doing some dolly organization during this time at home? Got any good tips for organization? Let me know in the comments!
Next post coming up soon! Until then!

I wish I knew a good thrift store for toys. I have a Goodwill and a Salvation Army within a few miles of my house, and their toy sections are pretty much nonexistent. It's nice that your dad keeps his eyes open for you. :)
Barb, my thrifts are the same. IF you find a Barbie it is a doll, usually damaged or extremely common and I have yet to find ANY clothes at any of them. Just neekid dolls.
OK I have seen the teal coat somewhere. It was popular in the 70s I think. One of my Shirley Temple dolls has one so I imagine other dolls got them too.
The red plaid shirt looks like one I got off ebay to finish an outfit but I can not remember the outfit for anything and it is packed waiting for me to set up a doll for it.
The sheer blue robe I have also seen somewhere.
The hooded terry robe I think went with a swim suit. Again I have seen it but not sure where.
I am looking forward to the fashion show.
I actually use your blog to see what my stuff is, I get something and I vaguely remember you have it and so you become my resource!
Hgus honey
The floral capris are a Barbie fashion. My dolls used to have them! Might still have em, I'm just too lazy to look.
Hi Barb! Yeah, I'm with you there. My thrift store of choice has had no dolls in the last few times I've been there. Goodwill is usually overpriced newer dolls with no articulation so that's a no go there. They are usually really expensive. I'll only pick them up if they are unique (or have pink hair.) I love that my dad keeps a look out. He's the garage sale king and can always find a bargain!
Mel, I'll have to look up some Shirley Temple dolls and see if I can find a look alike for that coat. I know I've seen that one too somewhere just can't place it. I'm glad you can use the site for a resource! I love identifying clothes but being i'm horrible at it I love how all my readers can give me some help!
Jeanie, thanks for that! I'll see if I can find which fashion pack/doll they are from. And that is always what I say too! "I know I have them.....somewhere.....maybe....." :)
I love buying clone Barbie clothing assortments. Haven't done that in quite a while---they're harder to find now at an affordable price, and canny sellers will put "one good item" in an assortment, and the rest of the items in the group are nothing much. And they will do that with multiple lots. Even Goodwill and Savers do this. And I won't buy any lot unless there are at least three things in there I want, and then I can live with just re-donating the rest. But I hardly ever find that happy medium anymore!---anyway, unrelated to that, those vintage textiles are just wonderful. Those stoplights are great!
