Perfect "American Girl" Fashions

     One of the latest projects at Cherokee Magnolias, on Etsy, is creating fun fashions for 18 inch dolls, like the American Girl dolls. There are a growing number of dolls out there, such as the "Our Generation" dolls available through Target, "Molly P. Originals" from Walmart, and "Daisy Kingdom" from AC Moore. It appears as if the doll manufacturing companies have sat back a watch "American Girl" dolls rack up all of the business with the expensive doll lines and accessories. In the last few years an increasing number of manufacturers have started their own lines of dolls with books to tell their stories, accessories for the increasingly fashion conscience little girls, and furniture, toy, and hobby items to match their stories and clothing.
     There is nothing like watching little girls (and sometimes boys) playing "house" with their dolls and creating imaginary lives with them. They love to experience the world through the safety of doll role playing and changing a doll's clothing to fit the imaginary scenario is one of those  "simple pleasures" of childhood. At Cherokee Magnolias we get to create clothing that little girls love. The outfits we produce are often similar to the fashions the girls wear every day. Here are a couple of examples of the doll clothing we make and there will be more to follow. Watch for it here or visit www.etsy.com/shop/CherokeeMagnolias
