Many of you are familiar with Sharry – she is a frequent commenter and contributor to the Doll Diaries community, has her own YouTube channel, she is a teacher, and she is a collector of 1970′s toys and dolls. Sharry will be sharing more photos and insight into her 1970′s treasurers throughout the year.
I’m sure most of you are familiar with Julie (Springfield Collection), and some of you have seen my 1970s Crissy doll. I bought these groovy identical 70s outfits from Carpatina called Summer Chic that these two best friends can wear together. The shirts fit fine, but the pants need to be pinned in back, as they have smaller waists than American Girl and Carpatina.
Don’t they look just too cute? I really love that classic (Crissy) can meet current, (Julie), and be friends in spite of their differences.
Later this month I will be telling you all about Crissy, and throughout the year, some of my other classic 70s dolls. Have fun!

Firstie!!!!! thats soooo cute love the outfits!!!
secondie! really cute outfits!
How fun! I love both of them!
Yikes, I didn’t realize Crissy’s hair was in her eyes! @@
CUTE!
Snow day today. My plan:
1. Sew hula outfits for Ivy, Kiera, Rebecca, Janelle, and hopefully Mia, Marie-Grace, McKenna and Leonie.
2. Study AP Bio (hopefully)
3. Compose chords to “The Glow” by Shannon Saunders
Pretty Irish Girl – sounds like a good plan to me!
Almost finished with Kiera’s hula outfit. I’m dreaming of a trip to Aulani
Finished Kiera’s outfit. Sent it into Doll Diaries.
(I don’t have Leonie, or Mia, Marie Grace and McKenna yet. Mom would buy me Mia if I get an A in AP Bio, a 4 on the AP test for Marie Grace, and getting to college early for McKenna. Leonie is for when I finally get an A on an AP Bio test and I’m buying her)
Forget the composition of the glow. Too icy outside. Might make another fat quarter outfit
Ahem…uh, back to topic…the AG sized outfit is called Summer Chic, but the slim body doll sized outfit is called Summer Fun. I know they’re kinda pricey, but where else was I gonna find twin outfits for soft body and slim body dolls. Too cool!
ok
My daughters had a Chrissy doll when they were small. We lost her in floods, but I still have the Simplicity? pattern I used to make all her clothes back in the 70′s. Love your outfits!
