Madelon's Fun Find and Re Purposed Dress For Grace

Looks like Madelon and I have had the same idea, she found some truly fun mini sweaters as well, though she did not pick them up but you can have a look near you to see the post holiday sales and pick up a few fun new looks for your dolls!

Even Santa's special elves on the shelves would look great in these lovely Grinch Sweaters!

It is time to say good bye to Grace and Madelon has a great dress to send her out in!

I love this Navy baby dress that looks to have a drop waist and is tied in the back. It has a tulle skirt as well. Madelon always has quite the eye for re purposing baby clothes and this is really cute!

My Post Christmas Mini Doll Fun Find Dolly Sweater Dresses!

Yesterday I was at Micheals the craft store and picked up three little sweater ornaments that I thought would make excellent mini doll dresses and I am very happy with these little finds!

These little sweaters were 70% off and cost under $2.50 each. To make them fit the mini dolls I used a ribbon to tie at the waist.  Simply cut the stitch that holds the little sweaters to the hangers and slip them over your dolls head! I found that they do fit the newer style mini better then the old style. I am really happy with how these little lovely sweaters turned out for mini doll play.
