Ebay Seller doll*sewer Review

Okay, I'm a bad influence!!  My mom has started getting into 18" dolls...so much so that she's been buying 18" doll dresses on eBay.  She even told me she would like to have an American Girl doll and a Gotz doll of her own!  [insert evil laugh] :}

She was so impressed with one of her recent eBay purchases that she thought I might like to do a review for the blog.  Of course, I thought it was a great idea, especially when I saw what she bought. :)

The eBay seller is doll*sewer.  And just to clarify, that's "sewer" as in someone who sews, not "sewer" as in where your waste water goes.  Don't you just love the English language? :} 

I was instantly impressed with this seller once I saw my mom's treasures and saw the other things she has listed.  Doll*sewer does a lot of outfits with specific historical American Girl dolls in mind.  She currently has outfits for Kit, Felicity, Samantha, Kirsten, and Julie, as well as other outfits that would work for any doll.  The quality of her work is wonderful, and her prices are fantastic.

The outfit my mom bought was a 1940s style Easter dress.  It came with all sorts of adorable accessories for "coloring" Easter eggs (pretend accessories, of course). :)  Mom let me borrow her goodies so I could take some pics.

This set came with a white lace-trimmed shift,

a beautiful light green 40s era dress,

an adorable apron with a vintage-looking print of children coloring and finding Easter eggs,

an Easter basket with a cloth that matches the apron, an assortment of small, colored eggs, 3 bottles of "egg dye", and two plastic cups to use for dyeing the eggs. :)   

This looked so adorable on my Emma doll. :)  

I love how cleverly she made the "dye".  She rolled up pieces of brightly-colored ribbon and put them in little glass containers.  

Here are some close-ups of the lovely detail on the dress.

Front and back view.

And here are more random pics, just for fun. :)

I would highly recommend this seller.  She has several really fun items for sale right now, so be sure to follow the link and see what you can find. :)

New Dresses from shopamericangirl! :)

Hi guys!!  I finally purchased more photo space...yay!  I wanted to share some pics of my newest dresses from shopamericangirl .  I actually have 2 more on the way that I just bought a few days ago.  Her dresses are addicting!! :}  Click the link and you can see her current items.  She has some great stuff on eBay right now, including a dress that looks like Felicity's blue Christmas dress.  Her dresses normally go for around $10 total at the most, so this would be a great chance to get an inexpensive but well-made dress for your Felicity doll. :)  So without further ado, here are some pics of Hailey and Tess modeling their new dresses:


Close-up details


  I apologize for the quality of the pics...the lighting wasn't the best when I took them. 

Just as a side note, the only problem I've run into with shopamericangirl is that she's not very easy to get ahold of.  I ended up paying the full price for shipping instead of getting my shipping discount this time, because after sending her two invoice requests, I never heard back from her.  When it had been over a week I just went ahead and paid.  The nice thing was that she shipped the dresses a day or so after my payment.  It's a small complaint, as her shipping prices are still affordable.  I only ended up paying $1.25 more than I would have.  I just wanted to give you guy's a "heads up" about this so that you'll be aware if you purchase multiple items from her. :)  This is the only problem I've run into with her, and as I've said before, the amazing quality of these dresses makes the extra shipping cost worth it.  Happy shopping! :)
