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.

Basic Sophie

Here is Sophie, friend to Ann Estelle.  She is another 10" doll by Robert Tonner. The Sophie dolls do not wear glasses, and their eyes are straight, not offset like the Ann Estelle dolls.  Sophie has a face mold slightly different from Ann Estelle, and she seems slightly shorter.

 This is Basic Sophie, issued 2004. Such a sweet face and pretty blondish red hair.

 Her trunk is solid blue with blue paper inside.

Sophie arrived in this playsuit, a design by Mary Engelbreit.  I added the sandals and pail.


This dress is a Robert Tonner outfit designed by Mary Englebreit.  I added the green lacy hat with flowers and the yellow shoes.


This microsuede romper is a BonBon creation.  It is trimmed in a red print with red buttons on the front. These colors look good on this Sophie doll.  She is ready to play in this outfit.


The A-line dress is made from cotton print with red posies, trimmed with tiny red picot braid and red buttons. 







The matching coat is also trimmed in beige picot braid and is lined in the cotton print fabric. 




This is Sophie's Christmas dress, made by BonBon.  The beige fabric says "Let it Snow!"  and has little trees all over.  The red fabric is dotted with snowflakes.  A matching hair bow was made from the red print. I also made beige tights and a beige lace-trimmed petticoat for the dress, as well as a bead bracelet.


Sophie is wearing pajamas made by BonBon from a tiny floral print and matching blue solid cotton.  Tiny beads down the front simulate buttons.  She carries her bunny to bed with her.


This white dress was made by BonBon from a micro pique cotton and trimmed with mini cording in pink.  The pink and green embroidery was done by hand on the fabric before the dress was cut out. There are matching pique panties with lace trim.  A purse was made to match and a basket was filled with pink flowers for her to carry.  A great dress for Easter, or a wedding, or any special occasion.



 This dress is a Robert Tonner outfit designed by Mary Engelbreit. Perfect for summer!

  1. Your dresses are better than the "professional" ones. Those are cute but a little generic, yours are fresh. I love the white cotton pique. Just beautiful.
