When I was a kid, whenever it was playtime with dolls, we would lay out all our dolls and their clothing items. Then we would “do a pick.” That’s where you take turns picking which doll or dolls you’ll play with and which outfits or accessories you’ll get to play with. Your playtime companion would take a turn picking her dolls, clothes, and accessories too. … Continue reading Let’s Do a Pick — Laugh-in with Francie as Goldie Hawn! #DoApick #vintageDollCollector

In this thumbnail image of the 1980's Skipper doll clothes pattern gallery, we see a platinum blonde Skipper from the 1980s wearing four different outfits: a green skirt with white top and a green plaid scarf. Then there's a short yellow sun dress. Then we have a brown check sundress that's rather long with a ruffle. Next we see vintage Skipper from the 1980's wearing jeans and a striped T-shirt.
