This is the fourth in my Collection Close-Up series. The other three are linked below. I'll be sharing everything we own from a particular doll's collection - doll, big ticket items, clothing, accessories, you name it. I find these are lovely opportunities to appreciate a particular doll and all the wonderful details of her world. I hope you enjoy it!

TBH she's one I'd probably just admire from afar if it were just me. Or at the most I'd have her and a couple outfits. Grace is definitely the reason we have so much of her collection, and it really is a lovely collection.

The collection close-up videos are always fun to watch, thank you for sharing! I think a coffee table in the room with the couch might be a nice way to display some items, but the shelf is a good idea too. Rebecca has a really nice collection

Thank you for this! Rebecca came out when I started collecting in 2009. I love the Josefina mold and thought she was pretty, but I was focused on Felicity and Josefina and collecting their collections. I’ve admired all her collection over the years and rolled my eyes at her directors chair, plastic hair bubbles and 3(!) pajama sets and beds. I finally broke down and got her in 2023 from a friend who is downsizing and sold me her original Rebecca in the first meet outfit. I’ve picked up everything that is currently available, which isn’t much. I was smart enough to get her settee as it was retiring. I still kick myself for not getting her original sideboard. Since I’m in a collecting slump, I may start hitting eBay to look for older pieces of her collection.

The fact that we have as much as we do of her collection is all down to Grace. What I've purchased I've purchased for Grace. I don't mean that I don't think Rebecca's collection is lovely, just that I probably wouldn't have focused on her. Also, what do you mean when you say you're in a collecting slump?

@@agtakesover I’m just not enjoying my dolls and doll related things as much right now. Which is funny, because I just bought Tiana but I didn’t want her to get away while I didn’t feel like doing doll stuff. I’ve been through this before, doll collecting/doll activities have highs and lows. I’m just in a low. I’m trying to get excited about making a real life doll garden, but even that is a bit forced.

My favorite girl’s time to shine! Rebecca is my favorite historical doll and usually if pressed I’ll say she’s my favorite doll period. I fell in love with her years before I got back into AG, my best friend and I took her then-4-year-old to the Columbus store for tea time and my friend and I both could not believe how pretty Rebecca was. When I took an abrupt turn into adult doll collecting she was the first new doll I bought (I bought a used Kaya and Nellie slightly before her.) She’s one of my most spoiled dolls, she has all three Hanukkah outfits and sets of pajamas, though my set of the pink pjs are not in the best shape. I hope to someday add her butterfly dress to my collection! And maybe her little seaside set if I’m lucky 😂.

The white tie at the left end of the clapboard is to erase everything that is written on the clapboard as they change scenes. This is originally how it was done and is in some movie companies, the way that they save money by using that type of a clapboard. But you’re right for the amount of the investment that they had made in Rebecca and there are places where they have really sold her short pointed several of them out to me the clapboard, although historically accurate we really do expect to see the top rise so that it can snap back.

I would venture a guess that the reason they used velcro on the satin outfits is because sewing a tiny button hole on slippery satin would be next to impossible. The only way you could do that would be to use fusable iron-on interfacing to keep it from slipping, which would also make it really bulky and time-consuming to produce. Similarly, the loose weave tweed (I think it was a coat) is difficult to sew and would probably lose its shape if you tried to do button holes. I was surprised to see that they used so many different kinds of tweeds in her collection. I found a really good page that shows different styles of tweeds. I noticed she has herringbone (1st dress), houndstooth (the white top w/blk & wht bottom dress), checked tweeds, and twills. Check out: A Guide to Tweed Fabric Patterns. As always, you did a great job, and even though I don't even have a doll, I learned a lot and enjoyed it.
@agtakesover
@agtakesover Ай бұрын
I know in the past on satin pajamas they sewed metal snaps and that they've done zippers on satin outfits. A zipper would've been a weird choice, but they could have done snaps. The Velcro is okay from an adult collector standpoint, but as a parent of a small child...no thanks. And yes, that makes sense about the looser weave tweed. Rebecca's collection yesterday and today I'm working on dressing the dolls for Pride. Always something fun in doll world :)

Thanks so much for going through all of your Rebecca pieces! You can tell she is a popular AG historical- she just has SO much! I also totally agree with you that with lots of her collection, they were so close to nailing it, but then cheaped out (like not printing double sided, plastic instead of metal). I also have the original meet shawl & echo that it is a very rough texture. In my mind, I'm like is this to mimic water-resistant material? With so much wool/tweed in her collection, it might make sense to have more water-resistant pieces to keep her dry in the NYC spring weather!? 😂

Someone said it might be "sizing" on the meet shawl, which is apparently a chemical put on fabrics to make them stiffer (but it's not starch).

I love Rebecca and enjoy her collection. As with Kit, it kind of makes me laugh because a huge part of both girls' story is that they are really poor. Yet they have exquisite and extensive wardrobes! I get it, the real money in doll collections is in the continual stream of outfits that kids will pester their parents to buy. But I do find it amusing. At least in the early years of Kit's collection, they tried to keep in mind that she and her family were poor. Her first Christmas dress was a hand-me-down from Ruthie. Her birthday dress was made from a flour sack, and her winter coat was cut down from her father's old coat. Later on, they went bonkers and she wore ruffled silk chiffon to make candy. 😂

She has a LOVELY collection but as I often say, "Space and money are finite resources" so we can't collect 'em all :) As for Rebecca, I think she's a beautiful doll but I probably wouldn't have gotten near as much of her collection. My wife Grace is the one who has focused on growing Rebecca's collection.
