Beth gave me a doll wardrobe that definitely showed it’s age. She knew I needed a challenge.
See what I mean?
It needed a few minor repairs where the joints had pulled apart, but mostly just some pretty papers.
Keeping with the theme, I glued vintage paper with pictures of children’s clothes patterns to the inside.
I used two wallpapers on the outside.
Then I added clusters of flowers on the ribbons that tie the top and bottom together. I sanded the edges a little, so it didn’t look too fresh and new, then hung a nicely tattered, old doll dress on the hook inside.
Most likely, I’ll just use it as a storage box on my desk, not for doll clothes. But it was cute to see it with the dress hanging in it, as it was meant to be.
A doll with a wardrobe was the ultimate gift when I was a little girl! that little drawer at the bottom where you kept her shoes and other accessories and those cute hangers to put her clothes on!
Very precious; well done! I never had a doll wardrobe, but I still have the batiste dress and bonnet my mother made for my baby doll.
