The image shows an African American Wellie Wisher doll wearing handmade clothes that include a short-sleeved shirt with rickrack and lace trim at the sleeves and a mermaid-print skirt with rickrack trim and lace at the bottom of the skirt.

The image shows two outfits for Baby Alive 12 inch dolls. The first one (pictured on the left) is a little denim "cowgirl" style dress with a pink leather-looking vest. It has tan embroidery on the skirt and a pink leather-looking belt. It has a collar and short sleeves. The second outfit consists of a multi-colored "jumper" style dress with hearts as part of the fabric's print and a handmade diaper that's reversible in the colors purple (on one side) and white (on the reverse side). Doll clothes designer Chelly Wood is selling these items in her eBay store, and they fit a 12 inch Baby Alive doll.
