mesarobins Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 DD got an American Girl for her B'day. Is there a better (cheaper) place to buy clothes/accessories for the doll besides the American Girl website?
dancergirlmom Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 What you need to look for are clothes/accessories made for 18" dolls. Target has a line that includes clothes, salon chair, beds, etc. Just be aware - the doll shoes are plastic and don't fit unless you cut a slit down the back of the heel with scissors. Even places like Michaels/Jo-Ann Fabrics carry some clothes/accessories in their doll making area - and you can use your coupons.
nat1jen Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 The clothes that I bought for cheaper never ending up fitting the dolls correctly. Have you tried looking on ebay for used AG clothes? Also, you might try Craigslist.
meinnj Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 There is a new line called "Dollie & Me" available at Kohl's and Sears, it's about half the cost of AG clothes. The only thing is, it is just the dress no accesories but fits perfectly.
ilgetumipretty Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Try checking local craft shows. My MIL makes clothes for 18 inch dolls and sells them at craft shows in our area. And there are usually other crafters there selling them too.

For some reason, I have had bad luck anytime I buy an outfit that is a non-AG brand!
tntsmomie Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 We've gotten ours from Michael's (both the clothes and shoes fit great on DD's AG doll), and from a local craft festival. My mom also makes them herself, so we have a bunch from her as well.
nebraskaparkfan Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 another site is www.shopgoodwill.com. I've bought some things for AG on there.
westons Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 The Target clothes tend to not fit and/or are extremely difficult to get on and off the doll. Micheal's clothes work well.
