My sister is able to make the necklaces. We recently found the exact clasp that was originally used. She's really good
reformulating them.
The necklace is a three strand collar-ette, consisting of one layer of small pearls, a second layer of larger pearls,
and the third layer is the smaller pearls again. It is clasped in the back with a box clasp. Shown above is the white
set I use, with the original necklace below, and the clasp. We use ivory if just the necklace is wanted, since it looks
older.
Well, hi again, I hope you are enjoying the tips and tour, Mom really has
fun here. She tries to send out information that you can use to complete those tall dolls she has all around here. Check out
the work she puts in designing those girls new shoes. In case you didn't figure it out, she realllllly likes shoes. Talk about
a closet of shoes....one for each dress she has. check it out!

Betty's necklace is in Ivory

I have to discontinue the earrings, I can no longer
find the droplets to make the earrings. Maybe at a later time I can reproduce them.

If you have the 20 inch Fashion Parade doll, here is her necklace reproduction from my sister's skilled hands.
We're still working on the earrings. We have a bead that is hard to match. Click on the necklace to order your replacement.
From a satisfied Ebay sale for this necklace:
Praise: Wonderful work perfect.. Hope to
deal again soon!!! A+A+A+A+A+A+
Shown below is a picture of the original shoes that came on the 30 inch fashion dolls. This one shows it with a
wide rubberband, but I don't have rubberbands. Instead I stumbled across a small source for some of the original silver
elastic, in limited quantities.
If you prefer to have the vintage looking reproduction shoes, this is the order to make. It will include the reproduced
buckle, shoes in your color choice, and silver elastic.
Now, these are the shoes that fell off the girls ages ago, and that's why you're ordering new ones, because the elastic
went slack.
If you prefer to have shoes that stay on, check out my designed ones, with slingbacks on them, and
padded soles, for those aged feet further down this site, on the left hand side. Click on the multi-white display for
ordering that type of shoe. :--)
Shoe styles will vary, depending on what I have on hand to design,
but they will be Pretty!
If you are ordering for the Hard Plastic Sweet Ann or Sweet Gail, with the smaller
foot, shown on the foot chart, top right, please use the shoe below. I finally have a mold to make these.
They have to have the soft padding on the top, because there is no place to pull the elastic through, as there is on
the larger shoe.
So, your girls will have softly padded shoes to stand on.
Click on the picture to order.

From one satisfied customer:
Hi Deanna,
Sorry I haven't had a chance to send you a message sooner, but I wanted you to know I did receive the two pair of "Betty"
shoes earlier this week! As with the jewelry, the shoes are just wonderful. I like them better than the original
shoes - they are much prettier and a lot more practical (they stay on!!)!

The gloves are available as I find ruined dresses.
This is a pair of ruined shoes for the Eegee bride doll. They
used the same basic base, so I can re-create those also, if needed.
Update Cinderella's pretty dress with shoes in the grey, and a burgandy accent.
This is the look of the original medalian...Now Available.... it is available in two sizes and styles. Check it out for the paypal
payments further down the page, and the silver elastic in limited amounts also.
Shoe on the top right is the "normal" 30 inch stuffed vinyl
doll foot. These are the shoes that were made for these dolls.
Foot on the top right is the hard plastic Sweet Ann, Sweet Gail foot. I add an extra
layer of padding, and add a slingback, since this shoe is like putting a size 8 on a size 7 foot. Please order this shoe,
at the far bottom of the page, on the left hand side.
The bottom two pictures are a size 25 inch doll, (Bonnie Bride) and size 24 inch dolls,
(Rags to Riches), and it just doesn't fit. Go to www.adollysworld.com for those shoes in a size 5.
Click on the picture to see the back view of this fantastic dress created by Karen B. .
From Rags to Riches...I sent her a worn, torn dress, and she created the patterns to make your Sweet Ann a new dress
in red or Sweet Gail a new dress in Royal blue. This dress is for the hard plastic 28" version of the Grocery Store
dolls, with movable arms and legs, and shoulder length hair.
Beautiful Cinderella, with probably one of the more difficult dresses to reconstruct. I got one that I was satisfied
with, the second one ....well, anyway. So off to Karen to try her hand at it, and she sent back a jewel. Now you
can try your hand with her perfected pattern.
Pretty 24" Bonnie Bride. The dress is virtually a miniature of Betty the Bride and Sweet Rosemary, but a bit smaller.
And, as usual, she had made a virtual duplication of the dress and veil. Combined efforts of a lot of doll lovers, and
Karen in particular are making restoring your doll easy.
Karen has perfected the pattern for these dresses, just contact her at her email address for purchasing one
from her. She no longer sews them herself, but the patterns are made of tissue paper, just like they should be so you
can see the fabric.
She now has a perfected pattern for the satin Bonnie Bride, and I sent her the Fashion Parade dresses for pattern constructon.
I'm pretty sure she has those done, since she sent the dresses back to my girls.
I need to contact her for pattern pictures for your girls.
Thanks

The gloves are made from vintage lace from ruined dresses. I make them just a tad larger, since they are really
tight if I make them to the original size.
All accessories are tried on a vintage doll to make sure they are easy to put on the doll.
Shown here are reproductions of the white and pink cumberbunds for the Sweet Rosemary, and Betty the Bride dresses.
I tried to redye the original pink cumberbunds, but to no avail...they didn't redye, so I searched and searched, and finally
had another doll enthusiast come up with a fabric site with the exact fabric I needed. So, here are the final accessories
that you need for the girls, but...since they are older girls now, I'm making them just a tad bit bigger, you know how you
spread over the years. They shouldn't have to inhale to get them on, and I'm cheating a bit...velcro for the closures....easier
for us also. Click on the white cumberbund picture and the right dropdown box to order.
The buckles for the shoes came in two sizes. The larger buckle is one inch across, and the smaller buckle, shown
below is only 3/4 of an inch. The way they are coming out of the mold with the silver I'm using, they look vintage...a
bit worn, so they should blend right in. If you want just one, let me know, but I'd prefer to do a pair.
Click on the middle picture under the size to order.
If you need elastic, let me know. I did find a limited amount of the exact silver elastic for
the shoes. That is available for an additional $1.50 for the amount needed for the shoes. When it's out...we're
back to looking everywhere we can for a new source. Click on the picture of the elastic to order.
