I have come to notice that in recent times, dolly fashion have evolved to become more complicated in terms of design and really miss the time when dolly dress were of simple lines (some 10 years ago @@) So I decided to try out a simple looking a-line mini dress with adorable puff sleeves. I think I am addicted to puff sleeves now!

These 2 little dress sets come paired with autumn coloured tights... I luv dolly tights! And a little neck warmer with little crochet lace details.


Dresses have been fray checked and have metal button clasps.

Each dress set is priced at 38 usd each

International Shipping is 3.50usd ( I ship from Singapore, registered mail)

Letting go :(

I've never in my wildest dreams thought I'd let my most kenner baby go after I got her.
She was my dream for a very long time, a wispy bang Brunette. We've kinda failed to bond despite all her perfections - all my other kenners were either just heads... missing a leg...overly yellowed or something!

Bethlyn as I've named her came to me from another Blythe lover in the US. I've had her since Dec 07 but hardly spent any time with her.

About her
+Hair+ soft! & no frizz! - what sorta kenner is she!!!!???, I think her hair had a slight trim, but not by me.

+Eyes+ looks good to me! a slightly cloudy green chip but not noticable

+Pull mech.+ NOT working. I've NEVER OPENED her up to check why. I just change the colours of her eyes by rolling them with my fingers.

+Face+ Appears to have little tiny spots of aging - she is afterall 39 years old. I've tried to capture them in the pixs I've taken.

+Body+ sexy! okie seriously.... she has an extra butt crack as shown in the photos. Otherwise, body is clean and working

+"Skin"+ pinky

In conclusion, I think she is in rather wonderful condition. She's NOT from a smoking home. I've not opened her up nor restored her as I try to keep my Kenners in the condition they come in except for my severely yellowed Blonde.

Reason of sale : I've a new home to furnish and I've not spent any time with her!!! :( I really feel bad about that.

Price: erm.. hmmmsss.... tough one... I hope am being fair to all asking not for a million dollars but USD$1250. I believe the approx recorded mail worldwide is USD$35 at most. I will quote the exact postage when her destination has been decided.

Pls... give her a good home and more love than me!

Appi-Moon

She’s yellow as the moon and face round as an apple. She’s taught me to see past her bald spots.... broken knee and bitten off foot. I did not dare ask how it happened in fear of hurting her 1972 ole heart.

I patiently cleaned her the best I knew how then, and gave her a partial saran reroot that was a shade darker than her original kenner frizz, it was really hard to find the exact shade back then! and I was desperate to cover her bald patches. She also lost her cliff chin from my lack of knowledge in sanding dolls some 8 years ago, but still continued to smile.

I gave her brighter pink lips to ‘brighten’ her up only to realise it made her look tranney-ish when she yellowed again in later years. But she still continued to smile the best way she knew how.

As all Toy stories are told, they were played with, then stored away. Often forgotten as new toys came in... am guilty of that with her.

2 weeks ago, a close dolly friend of mine brought me her Blonde Kenner for a touch up and that made me take Appi-Moon out. Sadly, she had yellowed AGAIN.
Appi should really stop trying to turn chinese like me... hmmmss....

Anyway, for 1 whole week... I tried the simplest to the most completed methods of de-yellowing treatments on her... from using pearl drops... to using the good old novus polisher on her.
But alas.... she was in her terminal stage. :(

With other kenner gals... all yellow in sorrow (after 1.5 weeks of toothpaste n novus treatment)

Then it occured to me... why not give her a surface/superficial facelift.... yes kenner lovers out there.. you may hate me for what I’ve done to her... but like a comment I read from a restorer mentioned “just follow your heart in how U feel your doll should look.. ignore the negativity of the community” with that, I finally decided to match her to her very pinky original plastic like the Aiai-chan’s.... the only thing I decided to take the risk with was to give her pale lips ... like the Kenner prototype I lusted for online.

Appi-moon's journey

I’ve also give her back her cliff chin and rerooted a little more blonde hair into her scalp. This time the colour & texture are loads closer to her original as it was from a clip of blonde hair purchased from a wig shop

So here she is.... again..... as fresh as she cld be from 1972..

Finally, Appi-moon
