On the Hunt for Summer Doll Clothes!

Hey guys, it's Rae!

Looking for dolls clothes is actually a lot harder than it seems, mainly money wise. Quite frankly, American Girl brand doll clothes are NOT cheap by any means, and the prices just keep going up, up, up!

A big chunk of my dolls' clothes consists of jeans/pants and long sleeved shirts, and we all know that no doll wants to be out in the hot summer weather wearing pants and a sweatshirt! So, I'm on the hunt to find my dolls some new summer clothes!

I do have quite a few t-shirts, so what I'm looking for is mainly shorts/skirts and tank tops. Although AG does have a couple of new outfits, I will not be purchasing them. Instead, I'm taking my search to the wonderful world of Etsy.

Etsy is great because there are so many different sellers and, for the most part, they aren't really all that expensive! But making doll clothes is hard! Trust me, I've tried and failed horribly, so I can understand why some people charge way more than others. But that's the beauty of it all! If you can't afford one persons items, you can definitely find someone else whose things you can afford!

I have found tons of sellers that I like, but before I go and spend all my money, I'm going to go to Target and check out some of the Our Generation stuff. OG things are very cute and very affordable, but aren't always the best quality and can sometimes have defects. But I'm still going to look!

Hopefully I can find my dolls some cute clothes that won't cost me an arm and a leg, and hopefully they'll have them before we go on vacation in July :)

Thanks for reading!

  1. I'm struggling on finding Summer clothes as well Rae! The only difference is I am completely broke after I bought Ashley.

    1. I did manage to find one cute outfit a Target today for $12.99, I'll be showing it in my next review video which might be up tonight or tomorrow. It came with capris but I cut them into shorts :P
      And after I bought the outfit and another set, I have only $0.75 left xD
