Cute! She looks like the prototypical "big sister" from a 1960s TV program.

Thank you! I do need to try to make a more matching top. I think something white would work best, since it would help to bring out the white stars in the skirt. Hm. Might work on that later, I think I've got some soft cotton that would work well...

I'm just amazed doll clothes have worked out a thing that actual clothing seems to not understand!

My sewing skills are still rather basic.Well, try it anyway. What is there to lose? If you use a piece of scrap for a prototype, you won't have to worry about wrecking your preferred fabric, and you might end up with something wearable on the first try. I never made any doll clothes before doing my girls' pirate jacket... just tried on a whim and it turned out pretty well. So I'm looking forward to seeing what you make
Honestly, the pockets were easier to do than the waistband, if I'm completely honest here. And you've got a very good point... I'll just need to look up some designs to try to get an idea. And knowing me, it'll take a while - I'm faster for 1/3 stuff than 1/6 stuff. Mostly because the latter requires smaller stitching, so I need to have a lot of good light.

I am taking this as a compliment - because my head went to Marilyn Munster and that is not a bad image.

65. 1984 Pedigree Sindy with Active Body
![[Image: 52334550_119e060eef307e8533d24726b9730449_standard.jpg]](http://www.23hq.com/23666/52334550_119e060eef307e8533d24726b9730449_standard.jpg)
Active body just means she has bendy limbs rather like a Takara Licca-chan. Pretty sure she's 1984 from her head marking and shorter hair style. I call her Susan. After Susan Foreman, the Doctor's granddaughter. Something about her reminds me of the character from Doctor Who. And yes, Faerie Glen dress again.
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - neon_jellyfish - 03-07-2019
Another vintage cutie! I like her face, she looks like she knows what she wants and she's going to get it.
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - kadytheredpanda - 03-07-2019
I love seeing your vintage Sindies. I know little about her since I'm American.
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - davidd - 03-07-2019
I love that you named Susan after the First Doctor's original companion!
(And yes, the 1960s Big Sister comment was intended as a compliment!)
((And Elfy's response made me laugh!))
(((And no, the "meme" did not end, because then you introduced us to Susan, named after a 1960s TV character!
)))

I would need to agree there, Susan is quite a confident girl.

These are really the only ones I have, but I'm always keeping an eye out for another because... yeah, they're cute.

The First Doctor has legitimately been one of my favourite versions of the character for years - I love the character development we see with him.
(... Dammit, self, you should have thought that through, >< LOL)

66. World Book Day 2019

Matilda shows off her book in honour of the day. (Yes, it's World Book Day in the UK today. I don't know why we seem to have it at a different date.)
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - neon_jellyfish - 03-08-2019
Happy World Book Day, Matilda! I actually thought that the UK/IRL one is the only one, I only learned about the Rest-of-the-World Book Day earlier today! I had a photo planned, but I decided to move it to the international date.
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - kadytheredpanda - 03-08-2019
Aww, what a cute Matilda plush! Of course she would celebrate today!
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - Alliecat - 03-08-2019
Susan & Matilda are both cute. I didn't know there was a World Book Day.
(Every day should be a book day

I'll probably post another one on that date, so I can celebrate both!

It's her very favourite day.

67. Put Up Your Dukes

She's quite punk rock
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - neon_jellyfish - 03-09-2019
She punk-rocks that outfit! The jacket is especially pretty!
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - davidd - 03-09-2019
The biker boots and jacket are boss! I presume she changes out of the skirt when she rides her motorcycle.
Then again, she's tough and edgy, so maybe not.
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - Elfy - 03-09-2019
We’re the same with book day, it’s every day for us. We had a book buying e
edition today, and added 10 more to Mt Toberead.

Sadly, I can't leave the jacket on long because she can stain and it has happened once. Still, it's a really nice jacket.

She wears shorts underneath. A good compromise.

68. MIB: 1998 Vivid Imaginations Children In Need Sindy
![[Image: 52444038_bf80b18030b11a7c5321ce5de0bada5b_standard.jpg]](http://www.23hq.com/23666/52444038_bf80b18030b11a7c5321ce5de0bada5b_standard.jpg)
This is the Sindy that I remember from childhood and, as you can see, she was turned... very Barbie. Vivid Imaginations got the license from Pedigree following Mattel suing Hasbro for the change in Sindy to make her more like Barbie. (A case they won, btw.)
Vivid had Sindy till the early 00s, and tend to be the ones I remember most. This one I remember as it was one the the first dolls I had saved up for by myself.
I don't know whether to debox her or not. A lot of the elastic is disintegrating so I do wanna fix that...
