| OLD NEWSBOYS’ GOODFELLOW FUND OF DETROIT DOLL PROGRAM CRITERIA FOR DOLL DRESSING PROGRAM Thank you for agreeing to dress a doll! You may dress your doll in any way you wish. Here are some suggestions for themed dolls that have proven popular little girls in the past: Bridal: Wedding dress made from regular materials, either crocheted or knitted, may be finished off with garter, veil/hat, slip or flowers tied to the hand Fancy Dress: Elaborate outfit in regular materials, either crocheted or knitted, may have beads, fur, sequins, lace, etc. (must sewn to material) Careers: Professional attire: i.e.judge, doctor, nurse, police officer, etc. Look-a-like: A child’s outfit and doll outfit made from same material (exactly alike) Character: Clown, Raggedy Ann, Heidi, Mother Hubbard, nursery rhyme, etc. Nationality: Doll representing an ethnic group and/or country Sport: Hockey player, ice skater, roller skater, jogger, skier, cheerleader, etc. Crocheted: Outfit made by using crochet hooks Knitted: Outfit made by using knitting needles Some Handy Tips for Creating the “Best Dressed” Doll · Dress in the proper size dress, so that the clothing will come off and on with ease · Make sure the dolls are free of straight and/or safety pins, wires, or hairpins · Dress dolls in clean clothes, use only clean materials when sewing clothes · Make sure outfits are completely sewn, leave no raw edges or hems · Do not glue or staple material together · Do not use hairspray or glitter on hair, clothing or shoes · Make sure outfits are easy to undress, using snaps, hooks & eyes, Velcro or buttons · Design for safety – when attaching earrings, purses, etc. use thread instead of pins or wires. Use only non-toxic liquid or materials on the dolls · Please do not put money in a purse or attach money to the dolls · Remember you are dressing a doll for a girl age 4 - 10, make sure these dolls are age-appropriate PURCHASING DOLL CLOTHES - You may purchase clothing for these size dolls at the Doll Hospital and Toy Soldier Shop in Berkley or on their web site at www.reallygreattoys.com.
