I just got this in a Danish lot with things from the 60's

I have some other outfits made by Danish makers but not much. One of the makers is Else Skipper, she made outfits to a lot of different dolls and also for Barbie and Skipper.
Another of the Danish makers is Gretes Dukketøj and I think she also made things for Barbie and Skipper.
The other pictures shows outfits or outfit pieces found in either Denmark or Sweden. They all have the same Prym snap that was used on Åhléns outfits and also used by Else Skipper on the Caroline/Barbie, Bobby/Ken and Ann/Skipper size outfits.

Jeg har lidt tøj fra andre danskere som Else Skipper, der lavede tøj til en masse forskellige dukker, også Barbie og Skipper. Jeg mener også at Gretes Dukketøj har lavet tøj til disse 2 dukker.

De øvrige billeder viser tøj og tøjdele, som enten er fundet i Danmark eller Sverige. De har alle Prym trykknapper, samme slags blev brugt af Åhléns og Else Skipper på tøj lavet til Caroline/Barbie, Bobby/Ken and Ann/Skipper.

If anybody knows anything about these outfits or about the use of the same Prym snaps I will be happy if you would share the information with me. To be a "detective" is a great and fun part of being a collector of vintage dolls and outfits and I love to share what ever informations I get with other collectors.
Hvis nogen ved noget om disse kjoler/tøjdele eller om brugen af Prym trykknapper vil jeg blive meget glad for at høre om det. En stor del af det at være samler af vintage dukker og tøj er "detektiv" arbejdet. Jeg deler gladeligt det jeg finder ud af med andre samlere.

Hadde også en med hestehale, og et fantastisk vakkert hår, engang. Det tapte seg under vask, var ikke lengre glansfullt og luftig. Vet du hva det er laget av?
