Hi guys!
I too am new to this group. I have decided to try to knit a winter
wardrobe (I know, spring is flying in fast and I better get a move-on)
for my SIL's doll collection, primarily Cissy, Alex, and Coquette.
Does anyone know if there are any free patterns out there that I can
experiment with before laying out the big bucks? If I turn out to be
all thumbs at it, I will only have lost my pride. LOL. Thanks!
Wendy

Oh dear! I'm SO new here, I noted that SOMEone asked me what brand of
dolls, but for the life of me, I can't locate that post now. good
grief! Very sorry. Anyway, I believe they are all Madam Alexander
dolls. Does that help? Gosh I'm so new at this! LOL. :D

Yes, because (as far as I know) all Madam Alexander dolls are the same
size (and pretty much the same faces - only the hair and clothing are
different, in my opinion). They don't have much in the way of joints
either, so clothing for them should be made to be very easy to put on
and remove. Luckily, knitting tends to be stretchy. I recommend
cardigans instead of pullovers, for instance, if you can find tiny
buttons or zippers (or use hook and loop dots, or hooks and eyes).

I think you are referring to the small (about 8") dolls that are the
ones you usually think of with Madame Alexander. What you say is true
of those dolls. However there have almost always been others. If you
look at www.madamealexander.com you will see the range of dolls
currently produced -- including the couture dolls etc. However, I have
never had a Cissette or any of the newer fashion dolls and am not sure
of their size. The outfits for these dolls are amazing (and not
inexpensive).

You are right, I had only seen the small ones.
