Thumbelina Clothing Basics

Thumbelina clothing consists of a 4 piece outfit that includes a dress, slip, diaper, and booties.  The 2 components of that clothing are materials and craftsmanship.

This classic over 40 year old doll is going through changes just like real people via the aging process.  The sheer cotton organdy dress is thinning with its snaps, buttons, lace, and elastic becoming loose.  It is likely to have stains or tears too.  The white cotton booties are also relaxing as well as yellowing right along with the cotton muslin slip and the cotton flannel diaper.

So much for the obvious effects of aging Thumby clothing - There is an alternative.  Denise's Vintage Designs can supply your Thumbelina with new clothing that is so close to original that some experts mistake them for being the real thing.

Materials

First you have to have the right materials which is no small task.  Denise's Vintage Designs is on a continuous planet wide search for fabric, buttons, ribbon, lace, and snaps.  As with a lot of things you receive on a picture based purchase, they may not appear in reality like they did in that picture so we are stuck with a lot of things we can't use.  Then perseverance  prevails and we either find new old stock or  near the exact type that may have been used to produce the timeless Thumby's clothing.  If not the difference is ever so slight that most people would never know it. 

Craftsmanship

Denise has over 35 years of experience and what we jokingly refer to as a sweat shop full of equipment not to mention the mountains of materials. Previous experience before opening the well attended Thumbyland Health Spa includes quilts, purses, curtains, upholstery, diaper bags, clothing, firemen equipment bags, Halloween costumes, and many of those things you choose to forget when you get older.
