Dolly Diva Design

Home of fashions for the fashion dolls—currently Gene, Tyler, and Vita. But in future, emphasis will be on designs for the new American Model (Tonner). Manufacturers' outfits, as well as many of the 16±" dolls themselves will be available until they sell out. Patterns for original designs, some from 30s/40s for all the above will also be available. We're going to have a lot of dolly fun here, folks!

Well, well!

Fancy meeting you here!


     Heh heh! Kidding...just kidding! So, I was in the storeroom most of the day yesterday. Found a lot of stuff. I have to take pictures, make a list, figure stuff out, and like that. I will be putting it all up here and letting you know about it on the mailing lists. I now remember the exact places of the Stillwell conven-tions I went to...and I think I have them in the right order. There might be one I'm forgetting...:

Louisville KY— The Derby
Los Angeles CA—
The Ambassador Hotel, Movie Stars
Dallas TX—Oil wells!, 
Fashions in Lucy Gallant, Jane Wyman
Philadelphia PA—Bubbye, IT!
Longbeach CA—the Queen Mary, Mr. Tonner's Visit
San Francisco CA area—"Balenciaga" says it all

     Those last two were Sandra Stillwell's productions without a manufacturer behind her. They were won-derful. Maybe even wonderfuller!
     You might be surprised at this, but I also did some ordering and buying during those conventions! AND I have taken very few of those ladies out of their boxes. Ever. Bad case of eyes bigger than my doll room.
     Now. About the business part. I don't want to put prices on things. I want you to make offers and the item goes to the highest offer on it, as long as I think it is not too low. I expect people to be honest in offering what they are willing to pay. I think we all know ballpark what things are worth, no?
     Does that sound fair? As an example, I have had an offer for each of two items and the prices were fair to me and obviously to the buyer since they offered what they thought was proper. I don't really like bidding. I don't think that bidding is a good idea. 
     If everyone offers what they a) think is a fair price for the item, and b) no more than they can afford, then I get the going rate more or less, the buyer gets the item for what is offered, and other offerers don't spend more than they can afford as they might in the heat of real bidding. As for me, I won't tell anyone what was paid. That is up to the buyer to do if it is important to the person to tell!
     If anyone has a better idea, please let me know—I'll consider all methods put forward.
     PayPal will be the order of the day for payment method. That way if anyone from another country wants to buy, PayPal can do the work of money changing!  
     If you want to contact me, send me an order or offer to buy at "dollydivadesigns dot gmail dot com"—I just set it up and it's open for communicating concerning anything and every-thing "dolly"! Looking forward to communicating!!
