For St. Nicholas Day 2021 (Dec. 6), my sister gave me one of those knitted sweater Christmas tree ornaments. You know the kind, the ones that look like Barbie sweaters.
This one was knitted red and white with fur trim and buttons on front. It's oversize, but I still couldn't get it over Barbie's big hair and head. It's way too big for Skipper, so I tried it on Francie. I needed a doll with a smaller head and hair and straight hard plastic arms.
I chose my 1966 blonde straight leg Francie, who is wearing 1259 Checkmates. She took off her blazer and put on the sweater coat. Yes, she has on only one shoe.
