How much hair does the Velcro on your American Girl doll’s clothing wear?
May 11th, 2009It is strange how little things observed can help you come up with great ideas!
One day I was watching my granddaughter, Maryn dress and undress an older 18” AG type doll. I noticed that the Velcro on the outfits were becoming quite hairy. That is when the realization hit that an almost 6 year old is not old enough to take care of the doll’s hair properly when Velcro is involved. This is how I came about designing The Doll Clothes Shop’s new EASY CARE WEAR clothing line for 18 inch doll clothes.
Designed without Velcro makes the EASY CARE WEAR clothing perfect for young girls to change outfits on their 18 inch dolls such as American Girl without their outfits claiming their doll’s hair.
The new clothing line is now available in the Doll Clothes Shop under the category of 18 inch doll clothes…..Easy Care Wear.
Is the NEW American Girl Doll a Replacement for Samantha?
May 8th, 2009American Girl announced a NEW historical doll is arriving on May 31st.
Rumor has it that the new historical doll available the end of the month is a replacement doll for Samantha from the same era.
Should American Girl bring the Samantha doll back?
May 6th, 2009I have received a lot of correspondence about Samantha’s retirement. All are in agreement that retiring Samantha was a huge mistake.
Does it make sense that one of the three original American Girl historical dolls would be retired? Did anyone notice how fast her items sold out?
A few years back American Girl announced that Felicity was being retired. The public was outraged and eventually American Girl decided to keep Felicity. This is after the prices for Felicity items sky-rocked on eBay.
So the big question is…will Samantha have the same future as Felicity or will she remain retired?
Personally I feel it is an injustice to retire any of the original three historical dolls. They are the cornerstone of American Girl dolls and should always be part of the line.
