Today’s Friday Girl was last featured in 2016 although she’s appeared in several Sindy related posts since then. She is one of my Made in England Sindy’s from around 1963-65. I really love this Sindy face. I think there is something in her expression that none of the other fashion dolls of her era manage to capture, even Tammy who she resembles.
Unfortunately, Sindy has lost half a finger, but she still displays well. In the first photo which is an old one she is wearing the coat to “Happy Traveller” I love this coat. I would dearly like to get the grey pleated skirt that goes with it. I do have a red top which might be the correct one. I think I have the camera from this outfit amongst my props.
As it is a a warm day Sindy has unbuttoned her coat to reveal “Summery Days”. I am not sure if this is my original childhood outfit as I have a couple of these dresses. This is the version that I had as a child anyway. the 1963 version.
I agree about her face – she has a look of intelligence that lots of fashion dolls lack!

Such a friendly, happy doll. My granny would have made many crocheted outfits, or my mom sewn some or taught me to. I like Sindy with Ted Turner I only have small Paul). What a great Outfit the coat/skirt and top would have been. I would love to find something like it. What fun pictures it makes. Great blog!

I have grown very fond of what I think of as the “later” Sindy’s, that is anything later than 1967 but I still love the early ones most of all.

Query, of your clones of this era, have you ever Franken-dolly/ re-bodied these dolls?

No, I’ve never tried to Franken-dolly any of our vintage dolls even the clones. I mostly only do that to playline Barbies.

What a beautiful Sindy! I love to see the Sindy dolls that are not blondes. This one looks quite serious; she must be heading out on a business trip. The grey coat is fab and I think the dress makes a nice contrast.

Sindy does have a more serious expression. I like it.
