At Doll Fancier we live and breathe fancy dresses and ensembles for collectible dolls, from 6” to 26” tall. Fabrics, trim, and accents are selected with care to meet Doll Fancier’s fussy criteria for beauty and proportion for the dolls you love to dress.

When you visit Doll Fancier you will find pretty dresses for Robert Tonner's Betsy McCall and Ann Estelle. There will be fancy dresses for the 16" White Balloon-Helen Kish Four Seasons dolls. We also sew dresses for Boneka's Tuesday's Child dolls, Helen Kish's Bethany and Bitty Bethany, and Heidi Plusczok's Candy, Alessa, and Nicoletta.

We loved paper dolls when we were girls and Betsy McCall was a favorite (she was first introduced in 1951). Now Robert Tonner has brought back this childhood friend and Doll Fancier envisions a collection of dresses reminiscent of little girl styles from the 1950s-60s to fit 14” Betsy McCall.

10” Ann Estelle & friends are the creations of well-loved artist Mary Engelbreit portrayed lovingly by Robert Tonner. Doll Fancier plans special dresses for these girls using colors inspired by the art of Mary Engelbreit to honor all of the bright fun!

It was love at first sight when we saw 11” Bitty Bethany by Helen Kish! And then a friend introduced us to 10.5” Candy by Heidi Plusczok!! Around the same time, 10” Bonnie by Dianna Effner for Boneka came into our lives. These little girls inspire Doll Fancier to shop for the prettiest fabrics, lace, ribbon, and buttons—all scaled to their size, of course!

We will never forget the day the first of the 16” White Balloon-Helen Kish Four Seasons dolls arrived at the studio. Doll Fancier lifted her out of her box and HUGGED her. Beautiful dolls deserve beautiful dresses! You will find many such dresses here.

Each Doll Fancier dress is carefully and lovingly designed to be the perfect blend of style, fit, and quality. By using the finest raw materials, from fabric to finishing touches, our doll dresses fulfill the collector’s dream for the perfect new outfit for a special doll.

Future collections will include dresses for vinyl dolls including Helen Kish's Riley, Tulah, Bitty Bethany, Kristinia, & Aimee Lin; White Balloon's Four Seasons by Helen Kish, including Summer, Fall, Winter, & Spring; Robert Tonner’s Ann Estelle, Sophie, Betsy McCall, & Jane; Effanbee's Lexi & Abbie from Mrs. Willowby’s First Grade Class; Boneka's Molly, Amanda, Amelia, & Bonnie; and Heidi Plusczok‘s Patsi, Candy, & Alessa, as well as the all-porcelain Jenny & Lexie by Heather Maciak and Paulinette by Pauline Bjonness-Jacobsen.

Some collectors favor cloth-bodied dolls for their posability and they are not overlooked at Doll Fancier. Our collections will also include dresses for Goldilocks from the Heroines from the Fairy Tale Forests, Helen Kish's princesses Jennifer & Nicole from the Wonders of a Winter's Night; Pauline Bjonness-Jacobsen’s Limited Edition dolls; and the lovely larger dolls by Heidi Plusczok.
