Fashion Doll Loot

The contents of a recent fashion doll clothing and shoe order are illustrated.

After JHD Midnight Orchid YaYa arrived and my need for clothes and shoes for my new fashion-doll muse became apparent, I went budget fashion-doll clothes and shoe shopping. The above photo illustrates the packaged items that totaled $29. The photos below were captured from the website source of the order, and pictures of Midnight Orchid YaYa modeling most of these items are below the website photos.

I ordered and received a random assortment of 10 fashion doll shoes. YaYa was able to wear 6 of the 10 pairs of shoes. Other dolls will enjoy the other 4.

From a separate listing, one black and one gray pair of high-heels were ordered that fit YaYa well.

From the above selection, I chose the white and the red ballet dresses. The lacy bodice is strapless on each, and the flared skirt is layered tulle.

I also ordered office suits in black and white houndstooth, and light green, pink, and tan tweed. Decorative buttons accent the suit jackets. 

The last two ordered items were a pink floral skirt suit with knee-high tights and a white top with a burgundy striped pencil skirt. The skirt appears to be bright red striped but it is actually burgundy or deep red. Note the incorrect placement of the buttons on the pink floral jacket. Women's buttons should be on the left*.

Midnight Orchid YaYa Models the Shoes That Fit

These are the randomly selected 10 shoes I received. The six pairs on the left fit YaYa's foot. The other four do not.

YaYa models the red slingbacks, lavender cut-out sandals, and purple ballet shoes.

Orange high-heels, black high-heels, and butterfly-embellished pink heels fit well.

These black high heels were purchased separately along with...

...these gray high-heels which both fit YaYa well.

Midnight Orchid YaYa Models the Clothes 

The bodice of the white ballet dress has a slightly loose fit, but YaYa can still wear it. It is worn with the separately purchased gray shoes.

YaYa wears the red slingbacks with the red ballet dress.

YaYa tried on the black and white houndstooth skirt without the jacket and with the red slingbacks.

She looks so sharp with the jacket added.

The gray shoes pair well with this suit.

YaYa still wears the gray heels but with the light green tweed suit which came with a white crop top.

A pink sparkly bandeau and pink butterfly-accented heels are the perfect complements for the pink tweed suit. 

YaYa strikes a glamorous pose while wearing the complete pink tweed ensemble.

From this rear view, the butterflies on the pink heels are visible.

A gold bandeau made of faux leather and the tan tweed suit are worn with the gray high heels here.

The same tan ensemble is worn with orange heels.

The pink floral suit includes a white crop top and white over-the-knee stockings; however, the stockings are too narrow to extend above YaYa's upper calves. 

With the too-small stockings removed and the jacket added, YaYa assumed another striking pose. *Left-sided placement of buttons on shirts, blouses, and jackets designed for women is the norm. The faux pearl buttons on this jacket are on the right.

The dark-red striped skirt with the red-button- accented white blouse was the last fashion from this purchase that YaYa tried on. She wears this fashion with black high heels first.

This fashion looks good with the gray high heels as well.

YaYa enjoyed modeling her new clothes and shoes. Afterward, she decided to continue wearing Mattel's reproduction of the 1965 Barbie Matinee Fashion #1640 opting to wear the red slingbacks instead of the red pumps worn with it previously. 

I am convinced that YaYa looks good in just about anything she wears, but red and lighter colors are better for her.

I looped and tightened a clear rubber band around the heel straps of these shoes and placed YaYa's feet through the open loop of the rubber band before placing her feet inside the shoes. The rubber band creates a mock ankle strap that will prevent the shoes from falling off. I can also use a red rubber band for a one-color look.

The attached scarf on the hat can hang loose as illustrated on the right, but YaYa has chosen to wrap it around her neck as illustrated on the left.
