Big bags of bratz (clothes) + more from the thrift store

Quick post because I want to off my other find from last friday: two bags of doll clothes! I don't know if they were donated like that or the shop decided to package them like that. The label said Bratz, and since Nefera can wear bratz tops (although they're a bit short) and the pants fit Howleen I felt the buy was entirely justified. (Also: cheap!)

Two rather small bags. Christmas eve!

Well, I was in luck, because there was a bunch of Barbie clothes in there too. I'm still going through everything, washing and detangling and figuring out what fits what dolls and what to re-donate. Here's some of my favorites so far: 

Questionable fashion choices IN SPACE Spectra is Techno!Liberace or something - those vinyl pants were the first thing that caught my eye. For once in my life I'm almost grateful these dolls have molded underwear.


The yellow top might be my favorite. I haven't tried to ID it, but it looks a bit like something from the "Italian fashion collections" in Barbie catalogs when I was a kid (around 1990). The blue blouse is MyScene, which is a line I completely missed, but it looks like they had more interesting fashion than regular Barbie? Or is it just in recent years everything is pink and glitter? The jeans have a bit of extra space in the waist, which means Kenya can wear them too (as long as she doesn't try to sit down).




Also, I forgot to mention Mystery Simba Lady #2 came with a workout buddy: Sporty Spice! I was never a fan but I can't resist s unique face mold. Someone on flickr told me she's from the original Girl Power line, which seems to be correct. She has that weird slender Galoob body with rudimentary arm articulation and super long thighs, same as the Anastasia doll. 


Those strands of hair were originally glued to the sides of her face. The rubber band probably needs to be replaced, I haven't fiddled with it yet for fear of messing up the ponytail completely.

  1. My daughters just donated a bunch of their old doll clothes to a thrift store here. I hope somebody enjoys them like you are enjoying yours. Good find!

  2. My 1:12 dolls can wear some Bratz and Monster High doll clothes. I also have lots of Barbies so I would have been so excited to get something like that! Great find!

  3. Great find. I wonder what doll originally wore those blue pants - they are quite amazing.

  4. @barb The funny thing is, whoever outgrew this lot is probably a lot younger than I am! :D

    @grandmommy Unfortunately I don't think I have any 1/12 dolls, but some of the smallest clothes fit MH Howleen and Lottie.

    @carrickters If you mean the ones Spectra is wearing, I found out: Live in Concert Dana! Thank you, http://bratz-world.diaryland.com/

  5. Congratulations on your finds!

    I like how Sporty Spice has a missing tooth and that nose ring.

    1. It's actually a gold tooth, like the real Sporty Spice had. The Spice Girls dolls had great attention to detail.
