AWW this was wonderful to read! Those dresses are something to treasure. I have two dresses and two diaper outfits that were mine in the early fifties. When I had my Missy in 1980, she wore the diaper outfits also. The dresses are cute and frilly but need to be ironed So, I keep those for sentimental reasons but never used the. One of the diaper outfits is made by Carters so they must have been around quite awhile and they still look perfect. If Missy has a little girl, I will give them to her.

I also enjoyed this thread for the memories. At the end of May when I was in Texas, I went through some of my things and my mom's things. I have my old Barbies and still love to play with those and get them out when Misha feels like playing "dolls". I brought home a beautiful pair of mom's stilettos from the 40's. Can't walk in them but they fit and are very stylish. One box I enjoyed looking at was my mom's WWII Army nurse uniforms and a couple old dresses. Vintage and gorgeous!! In my old room, I found old letters that Dennis wrote to me when I was a teenager - oh he was so romantic!! I always loved my dolls - two favorites were the "Chatty Cathy" and "Thumbelina" realistic babydoll and they are still in my dad's attic.
