Too-Cute Elf on the Shelf Fashions

In my 2023 Christmas Dolls post, I included photos of The Elf on the Shelf Boy and Girl and separate fashions for both. On the Friday after Christmas, I received more Elf on the Shelf clothing from another doll friend who wrote, "After Christmas gifts are always fun." I agree because everyone loves unexpected bonus gifts. This post takes a closer look at all The Elf on the Shelf clothes including the newly received Claus Couture set of three graphic T-shirts.

The Boy's Clothes



The outfit for the boy includes a "Santa Squad" top and striped pants.

The shirt uses Velcro to close and open the sides, arms, and neck areas to provide ease of dressing the Elf or doll. How clever!

I tried the boy's outfit on Barbie Fashionista #144. This doll has a Curvy Barbie body. It fits her well. The side and neck openings made it a snap to put the shirt on the doll.


The Girl's Clothes

The girl's outfit includes several pieces as shown: a strapless plaid dress with a reversible sleeveless jacket, matching cloth boots, a silver headband, a pom-pom appliqué that attaches to the vest with smooth Velcro, and a metal (yes, metal) purse with a chain strap.

I used the same Barbie to model the girl's clothes and to determine if it was a good fit. The dress is too short, and the bodice is a little big on this doll. The vest and shoes fit. The headband is also too big, and the purse isn't properly scaled for this size doll. I believe the purse might be too small for the girl elf, too.


Barbie Fashionista #144  models the teeny-tiny purse. I'm sure this outfit will look very cute on the girl elf.

Claus Couture

The Claus Couture Collection is a set of three unisex graphic T-shirts for The Elf on the Shelf and a keepsake storage tin fashioned like a suitcase.

The back of the blister card illustrates three elves wearing one of the three different T-shirts. They are seated alongside the keepsake storage tin.

The T-shirts were wrapped inside the tin in red and white gingham paper.

The storage tin and the three T-shirts are illustrated here. 

The text on the shirts from left to right reads, Goody, Goody, Gum Drop! One Smart Cookie, and Sweet Treats. 

The T-shirts also have Velcro side and neck openings. 

Mila wears one of the Claus Couture T-shirts.

I tried the Sweet Treats T-shirt on Ruby Red Toys' Create Your Dream Doll Mila. It is a nice fit thanks to the Velcro side openings.

Happy New Year!

  1. Wow, those jammies look really comfy! II like the girl outfit best, but the t-shirts get the best brand name award. Claus Couture, too cute!

    1. I thought Claus Couture was a cute name too, and until you mentioned it, I didn't realize the jammies were Claus Couture. So, I need to write better. The girl's plaid fashion came in a plain white box, so I'm not sure if it's the same brand or not, but we know that the jammies and the T-shirts are.

  2. Well that shows me to read better - they are ALL the same brand!
