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.

This thumbnail shows a cloud-shaped 1970's style rainbow in the colors yellow, blue, green, and purple, superimposed on the usual purple cotton fabric background frame that Chelly Wood dot com often uses for its thumbnails. This frame surrounds a cell phone with a photo of a vintage "Francie" Barbie doll wearing the "Bloom Zoom" classic vintage doll clothes outfit. The text reads "Do a Pick: Outdoor Music Festival." If you click on this image in the gallery, it will take you to the "Do a Pick" game where you get to choose which super-cool outfit you want your Barbie (or in this case Francie) doll to wear when playing at the outdoor music festival your parents will attend in the hypothetical situation presented in this YouTube shorts #DoAPick mini video.

Let’s Do a Pick at an Outdoor Music Festival #DoApick #vintageDollCollector

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 at an Outdoor Music Festival #DoApick #vintageDollCollector

Well another recent Goodwill discovery was this vintage Skipper from the 1980’s. However, she didn’t arrive in nearly as good of condition as Judy did. In fact, even after cleaning her up and … Continue reading Sew a pretty sun dress for vintage 1980’s Skipper dolls w/free sewing patterns @ ChellyWood.com #Easter #DollClothes

In this very close shot of Judy Littlechap's face, we see that she has light blue eyes, her eyebrows are in tact, and her lips are a deep grapefruit color. Her nose is sligly dirty, and there's a single spot of dirt on her left cheek, but her cheeks' blush is rosy and natural looking.

Meet Judy Littlechap — a rare find at Goodwill! #DollCollector #DollClothesPatterns

I had never heard of Judy Littlechap, when I stumbled across her at my local Goodwill (a second-hand store). She was nude in a plastic bag, marked $2.99, but the date on her backside said she was from 1963. At first I was hesitant to buy her. We’ve all seen a date on the behind of a doll and went “Ooh la-la, a vintage doll” … Continue reading Meet Judy Littlechap — a rare find at Goodwill! #DollCollector #DollClothesPatterns

A Judy Littlechap doll which wears a handmade swimsuit stands beside a vintage-looking sewing pattern for making a fashion doll's wardrobe. Either the doll is quite tall or the pattern is small because they are very out-of-proportion with one another. The frame is a quilt made of turquoise blue and purple fabrics. The chellywood.com logo appears alongside the photo of the doll with the sewing pattern for making doll clothes.

The image shows the Harry Potter character doll that looks like the Ginny Weasley character, modeling two different dresses. One is an A-line dress made of burgundy cotton (sleeveless); the other is a strappy sun dress (sundress) with a ruffled skirt. Beside these images, the text reads: "Harry Potter Doll Patterns" with a frame around the entire gallery thumbnail, and that frame looks like purple fabric dotted with small white polka dots.
