Love this look!

Sophie Hope

The "Sophie Hope" outfit is what made me want to buy a Petite Ai in the first place. I saw a Petite Gabriel in this outfit in someone's photo and was so pleased to see that it fitted these dolls. I adore this cream jumper with the alpine embroidery and matching beret and together with the red tartan skirt and stripey tights.....what's not to love?


On Sophie in 2001

Dru or is it Pru (?)

Scottie.

More tartan.......with mohair

It's a look that epitomises the Punk Rock movement in the UK in the late seventies. It's still a favourite look for doll clothing makers.





This style of jumper evens turns up in a Rowan Knitting Magazine - "Vintage Knits" !

White ribby sweaters, tartan and berets!

There's something about cream or winter white ribby sweaters on dolls. I love them.

Sindy favourites again - 1966 "Casual Moments" - "to top a casual skirt Sindy chooses her crew-necked, short sleeved knitted white jumper with ribbed finish."
There was a long sleeved white polo neck sweater in the Sindy "Winter Holiday" set.
When I collected fashion dolls a favourite was the cream ribbed sweater from Alex "Editor in Chief".



I love them on dolls but not on me.




This set of cream ribbed jumper, matching legwarmers and red tartan skirt was made for 12" dolls but I can't remember the maker's name. It's similar to Sindy's Highland Lass outfit.



A lot of my favourite patterns in this last picture - tartan, argyle, rib, houndstooth and turquoise gingham.

The next picture is another great combination - classic!
