Finding Deals on American Girl Clothes

Some little girl’s best friend is their American Girl doll (18 inches) because they are fun, pretty, have an interesting life story, and have beautiful hair for your little girl to fix and primp.  All kinds of clothes, DVD’s, books, beds, and other accecssories are available through AmericanGirl.com.  If you have all of the money in the world to spend on your little girl and her doll, then you will find their site a one stop shop to happiness for your little girl that provides hours of fun pretend play.

If you are on a budget, Target’s website sells Our Generation dolls, which are also 18″ tall.  They can fit in the same things that American Girls can fit in and are a good alternative if your little girl just has to have a doll where she can fix her hair, but with a lot lower prices.  These dolls generally cost under $30.  You can find clothes and other accessories for them as well.

If your little girl just has to have the real thing, then indulge her, but save on the clothes and accessories.  She doesn’t have to have just American girl brand clothes for her doll.  There are many places that sell alternatives to these expensive clothes for a fraction of the cost.  You can find doll clothes for $2-$25 that are just as beautiful as the ones at the A.G. Store.

For example, Little Adventures sells a line of princess costumes for little girls that have exact match doll dresses.  Cinderella doll dresses and Sleeping Beauty doll clothes are the most popular.  But, many of the other doll dresses come with fun and interesting accessories.  The princess Snow White doll dress comes with a matching sequin cape and a red bow for her hair and the Medieval princess doll dress in deep purple comes with a matching cone hat that is really cute!  Their dresses are only $16 and often go on sale during the holidays or in off-seasons.  If the price wasn’t enough, these 18 inch doll clothes are machine washable, so if your little girl has a tea party or birthday with her doll and gets tea, punch, or birthday cake on her doll dress, mom can throw it in the wash and it will be as good as new!  The princess doll clothes from Little Adventures are also designed to fit plush animals such as Build a Bear.

Hang up her clothes with doll hangers you can find on ebay for about 50 cents.  You can find doll clothes armoires for clothes storage.

After she’s dressed, your little girl will want to fix her doll’s hair.  You will find that the American Girl brand brushes are the best ones to use to protect their hair.  Did you know that if your doll’s hair gets cut or ruined that you can send in the head to A.G. and get it replaced with a new one!  They have amazing customer service and your little girls can use their own hair accessories in their doll’s hair or buy new ones at the store for them to wear in their hair.

Fashion is important for girls and she will go to every effort to dress her own doll just how she would like to look, so splurge on the doll and conserve with the clothes and you will find a happy compromise between mom and daughter and you will find her pretending for hours with her fun new doll!
