Sindy!

To celebrate this special milestone in fashion doll history, Dolldom is honored to present an exclusive photo portfolio of dolls and fashions from Pedigree's Sindy's first decade - the 1960s. Perhaps the best representation of the mod aesthetic in doll lexicon, the line's choices for dressing the beloved doll excel at faithfully rendering looks that define the period's viewpoint. From duffle coats to faux leather skirts with suspenders, Sindy is the perfect time capsule for the decade that brought forth a new way to dress and to think. 

Devoid of the explicit company of parents, Sindy and her "continental" friend Mitzy, boyfriend Paul, and sister Patch existed as young people leading lives of outstanding normalcy, a concept that becomes prevalent as one examines Sindy's wardrobe. It's not that beautiful gowns do not exist, it's that the sheer realism of the garments meant to mixed and matched illustrate that Sindy was a doll one loved to dress cause she dressed like the young did. To this day, the looks are plausible and above all, intelligently stylish, and, we must say, au courant. 

Here's to Sindy!

On the Town

New York, New York!
It's a helluva town!

We've got one day here and not another minute
To see the famous sights!

We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it
Beneath the Broadway lights;
But we've hair on our chests
So what we like the best are the nights
Sights! Lights! Nights!

New York, New York, a helluva town.
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down.
The people ride in a hole in the groun'.
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!
