I found these Disney Princess toddler dolls on one of our many trips to Goodwill. They were only $3 each, regularly $10 or more new. These girls came with their clothes, and they were all just a little bit dirty. Elisa helped me clean them with a wipe. I gently hand-washed all their clothes. Their hair was icky, so I used a solution of 1-part water and 1-part fabric softener. I sprayed it on their hair and combed/brushed it out until the hair was good as new! Well, almost. Rapunzel turned out well, but Airel's red hair didn't seem to take. And since Cinderella had curly hair up in a bun, the solution didn't make too much of a difference. But I cut, combed, and styled all their hair so that they looked (almost) as good as new! Elisa loves her dollies. I just wish she would play with Ian less and play with these dollies more!
You did a great job making those dolls look good! A few years back I bought some old Barbies with clothes. I washed and ironed the wedding dress, and putting it back on the doll I noticed a hand was badly chewed on. These dolls have nice clothes.
