Okay - so the title is a little elusive. I knit the dolly for Miss M for Christmas. In the hurried bustle of the season, I only had time to make Cindy-Lou-Who (as she was later named) a quick sundress. A couple months of hard playing later, and that sundress was history. I decided to hit up ebay for a dolly dress solution. Low and behold, someone was selling an arsenal of American Girl style doll clothes for $1.99. I bid, and no one else did, so it was mine.

The package arrived yesterday afternoon, and Miss M was entertained for hours making outfits. The small fasteners were a little tricky, so I had to help. But as a girly-girl myself, I don't mind dressing up dollies. I certainly have enough practice under my belt. I believe the doll clothes were made from the Felicity patterns that the Pleasant Company used to produce. Do you remember Felicity? They don't make her anymore. I had Addy and Samantha myself, but I always had a soft spot for Felicity and her wildly political tea-refusing ways. Miss M definitely likes the Felicity-style clothing, and I think Cindy-Lou-Who looks smashing.
