Tressy
Look what I found!
While tidying (rummaging) today I came across -
Tressy
Do you remember her from the mid 60s?
Wow - I loved this doll, I particularly love the dress she is wearing, it was my favourite outfit for her, apart from the red satin full length halterneck I made for her! (Isn't it funny how memories come flooding back?)
Tressy's hair actually grew!
Well, she had a button on her tummy which you pressed and pulled a tuft of hair to whichever length you wanted, then there was a little key which you used on her back which rewound it back in.
Amazing!
On closer look, she has quite a petulant face - funny, never noticed that before!
Love, Liz

I only had a couple of her actual outfits because my pocket money wouldn't stretch, but used to make her fantastic clothes from odds and ends and knit her super jumpers (for winter walks and to go ski-ing in!!) - that's what it was like in the 60's.
