Clothing, Episode 2: The Dusty Epiphany!

One day it occured to me that other Kenner dolls might have Leia's body type, and therefore their clothes might fit Leia. Searching on eBay and examining photos of nude Dusty dolls made me think I was on to something. I managed to win a lot of Dusty and Bionic Woman outfits, and discovered that indeed, the Dusty outfits fit like they were made for Leia! Woo-hoo! The Bionic Woman dresses were too big in the torso and a tiny bit too long. Check out the wardrobe so far!

Dusty's yellow pants suit

I really knew nothing about Dusty before this all began, but boy have I learned a lot now! This outfit is almost complete, missing only the shoes (drat!). The pants are super-70s bell bottoms, but I love the red topstitching, and the jacket is great!

Dusty's navy blue dress

This short coat-dress is to-die-for! Dig those teeny buttons down the front!! Apparently, this outfit originally came with a dark belt identical to the red one pictured above, and had a white hat & scarf with a floral print on it. Who cares, I was just thrilled that there were SHOES!!! More about the shoes on the Shoes page!

Unknown Asian/Indian style outfit

This outfit was included in the lot of clothes. It doesn't look like any outfit I have seen while researching the Bionic Woman, but it seems sized for her. It is not tagged. It's made out of a cheapish nylony material which leads me to believe it was a generic doll outfit made in the 70s or so. The pants are a tiny bit too long, but the shirt fits pretty well, and I have to say I like the design, which seems to be influenced by Asian or Indian outfits.
