Welcome to BonBon's Toy Closet!

BonBon's Toy Closet in real life contains toys, games, and books for my grandchildren. But several other closets have been taken over for my dolls, doll clothes, doll furniture, doll houses, doll accessories, doll sewing materials, doll trunks, and various doll supplies!

After about 15 years of playing dolls, I decided to share some of the results on this blog. I hope you enjoy looking around. You will find Cissy dolls, vintage hard plastic dolls, Tonner Ann Estelle and Sophie dolls, doll houses, and a variety of other topics.

Arranbee 14" Doll: "Darcy"

This is the fourth of five trunk sets I created for my 14" Arranbee hard plastic dolls.  This doll is named "Darcy." The skin tone and face paint of this doll suggested a redhead, although she had no hair when I purchased her.  This copper-hued wig looks just right on her.

Here she is in a black and white tea-length dress. I made the bodice and cuffs from black velvet and full skirt and puff sleeves from white organza.



Here is Darcy in a green and white long dress, rather old-fashioned in design.  The skirt is made from a piece of vintage taffeta, and the blouse, with lace trim on the front, was a remake from an old doll dress that could not be salvaged in its entirety.  I added some green ribbon trim and white lace at the hem.


The following dress was made by a talented eBay seamstress (sorry, I do not remember the name).  It is purple satin with an overlay of sheer silver.  The purple color looks nice on Darcy.


Darcy likes ballet class.  Here is her pink ballerina outfit, which I made of a vintage silk, with tulle and lace trim. She has a pair of pink ballet slippers and a matching bow in her hair.

For day wear, Darcy has this purple and green dress with a print bodice and striped skirt.  She has matching flowers on her hairband.

For casual occasions, Darcy likes these brown slacks and coordinating pink knit top, decorated with a vertical brown grosgrain ribbon accented with tiny pink buttons. She wears brown loafers with this outfit.
At bedtime, Darcy wears this two-toned purple short nightgown with matching bloomers, all trimmed in lace.

Here is Darcy with all her clothes in her trunk.
