Aren't vintage outfits cute on dolls?
I am really taken with the 50s designs for little girls and I love translating them into doll clothes.
In order to get a good idea of the type of clothes children used to wear in the 50s I looked up the archived pages of the Betsy McCall paper doll that came out in the McCalls magazine over several decades.
You can find the paper doll pages year by year HERE
You can find out more about Betsy McCall HERE
The page I started with is July 1951 and Betsy is going to visit her grandma on a farm. I have recreated the red skirt style and the blouse.
Happy Doll Dressmaking,
Val
