Circa 1940s Transitional Shirley-Temple-type Mama doll |
After redressing for the holidays, the Mama doll and Jamilla are always displayed together. Sometimes the Mama doll also holds a Christmas ornament.
|
The redressed Mama doll holds Jamilla only for now. |
|
Kissy wears an infant-size velveteen red dress, white lacy ankle socks, and black patent-leather shoes. |
|
Two Tommy dolls and Kelly from the Nutcracker series are attached to Kissy's dress. |
Tommy as Major Mint, Peppermint Girl Kelly, and Gingerbread Boy Tommy decorate Kissy's dress as illustrated above.
Next, I redressed three 18-inch dolls.
|
An 18-inch Madame Alexander doll wears a tartan plaid dress, a red velour jacket, a red velour headband, red tights, and black boots. |
|
The Alexander doll wears the dress without the jacket. |
|
Journey Girls Taryn wears a tartan plaid jumper with a white mock turtleneck, an elasticized red ribbon headband, white tights, and black boots. |
|
Dollfun Hanna wears a red and tan plaid dress with white tights and black sparkly flats. |

Hanna wears her jacket and hat in this photo. |

In this final photo, the three 18-inch girls pose together. |
After our Christmas tree is up and decorated, Kissy and the 18-inch dolls will stand underneath and count down the remaining days before Christmas.

They all look great, but I am partial to Kissy and the Shirley Temple doll. Kissy because she's more like a real baby and the Shirley Temple doll because of her age. LOVE seeing vintage dolls.
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle. I understand the reasons for your partiality to Kissy and the Shirley Temple-type mama (STTM) dolls' redresses. You know I must be partial to the STTM doll, too, because I redress her annually. (But it's probably because it is much easier for me to redress larger dolls than smaller ones.)
