I just looked at your new dolls. They should be Wonderful transformed by Historical Costumes! During the Holidays, I found a booth in an antique mall that had odd dolls by Franklin Mint and Ashton-Drake for $10 and $12 each without boxes, but with their tags. I came away with 5!!. The Gene doll is most like yours. The others feature 2 at about 14" dressed for the ballet circa 1830s, and a face-lovely Gibson Girl about 20" who was "begging to have someone DO something about her mixed period wedding gown. Any way, I did her a new skirt and added a proper veil and she looks wonderful. That gave me the push to get on with all the dolls I was going to dress or make and dress" when I retired". So, I've been sorting all the fabric and trim in the antique part of my accumulation and am off and running.
Enjoy!
