About a year ago, I found this lovely lady at my local Goodwill store, in Twin Falls, Idaho. She needed some TLC, and I was happy to give her the love she needed.
In August of 2023, I did a blog post called, “How to Improve a Doll’s Bangs (Fringes)” and shortly thereafter, I did another blog post about “How to Unbraid a Doll’s Braided Hair.” Click on those links to see the full articles.
This week I’m going to show you the final Anna doll, after a full makeover, including new doll clothes to fit her! But I forgot to mention that shortly after I found the Anna doll, I also found a little Elsa doll.

As you can see in the images above, Elsa was given a similar spa treatment to Anna, but in Figure 3 above, you can see that I actually had to remove little bits of plastic from her hair.
Still, even with that problem, I think Elsa’s hair turned out better than Anna’s. What do you think?

And this week, when I give you a pattern for making doll clothes to fit Anna, I think you should know that the two dolls are identical in body measurements, as far as I can tell.
So I think this week’s doll clothes should easily fit either of these little six-inch dolls.

In closing, do you see those adorable Mary Jane style shoes my dolls are wearing? Those were actually made for the little 8 inch Vogue Ginny dolls.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that they’re a perfect fit for my six inch Anna and Elsa dolls!

Where is the pattern?
Hi Suzanne. The pattern for the shirt and skirt will be posted this morning at 7:00 AM Mountain Standard Time as a new blog post. There will be another pattern for pants and a T-shirt on Friday this week.
Today’s blog post was more about the TLC side of things, taking a worn-out, dirty, played-with doll and turning it into a pretty princess to play with.
