I have always loved dolls even before I owned an American Girl doll! I used to have baby dolls, plush dolls, barbie dolls, but one of my favorite kind of dolls was Porcelian dolls! I used to collect them. I didn't have a very large collection, but I loved all the ones I had. :)
A few days ago I was looking in my closet and came across a porcelain doll that my Grandma gave me for my birthday a few years ago. She is a beautiful doll and one of things I love about her is her dress.
That got me thinking. This dress looked a little small, but would it fit American Girl Dolls? I tried to put the dress on Mia, but wasn't patient enough to slowly put on the dress. So, I gave up for that day and decided it didn't fit.
Well, just last Friday I tried again. I tried putting it on Mia, but I realized Mia has a little bit of a bigger body, so, I thought about trying it on Elizabeth.
(I was surprised how my porcelain doll and Elizabeth look a lot alike! Elizabeth is about two inches taller though.)
I tried it on Elizabeth and.....it Fit! I just had to go outside and take pictures of her in the beautiful dress!
Doesn't she look Gorgeous?
Elizabeth was so pleased with her new (well borrowed) outfit that she had to take a stroll in the park, one of her favorite things to do. Addy let her borrow her bonnet, because she knew it would look beautiful. (Also, Addy knew Elizabeth didn't want freckles on her clear fair-skinned face!)
So, If you ever see a porcelain doll about the size of an American Girl doll at a thrift store or yard sale don't pass it up just because it isn't an American Girl doll! Think about the clothes the doll is wearing! I know when I go to yard sales this summer I will be on the look out for a cheap almost 18 inch Porcelain doll (to add to my collection and also for its clothes!).
