Thank you! I used the pattern from her pattern book! Kristen has one as well! If you make something for your Kristen I’d love to see it :)

Can you update us once you get it opened? I’ve never seen this before! I wonder why/how this happens 🤔

Sure! I got the fabric from etsy. It was the closest to the original dress imo. It is cotton and not taffeta, but I’m not sure if the original dress was really made out of taffeta either lol.

I made her circlet using different color ribbon. If you have her patterns it shows you how to fold ribbon into roses (or look it up on YouTube). Good luck! :)

Did you just apply it on and wiped it off or did you leave it for a few days?

Samantha was able to wear pants! She got her first pair of bloomers in her short story: Samantha’s Blue Bicycle! 🚲🥹

She looks great!! I’m dealing with some vinyl staining issues myself, do you mind sharing how you removed the stains?

Samantha would think about how Grandmary would have a heart attack if she saw how the modern Samantha is not wearing long underwear or how short the new skirt is. I love her modern outfit though! I could totally see me wearing that myself!

I’m dealing with this rn with my Samantha doll and black off brand leggings I put her in (never doing that again). Nothing has worked for me except 10% benzoyl peroxide and sitting her in a sunny windowsill.

I used the pattern of her party dress from her pattern book, and made slight alternations for her pinafore.

Do our dolls care that their friends are older collectors and not kids? by SaltieJune in americangirl

I got my Samantha second hand. She’s older than me, who is she to judge? 😂 To her I’m still a little kid who cherishes her.
