Here are three of the dresses from the suitcase of antique doll clothes from my friends mother, who was 90+ years old. They are a pretty good fit for the SD size girls!

Mary, Daisy, and Melisande model the dresses.

Thank you! Yes, it is really amazing, and these are just three of probably 3-4 dozen dresses, if not more.
