Fashion Doll Friday: Ideal Tammy c1963


It’s a while since we had a vintage doll for our Friday Girl so today, we’re having one of my Ideal Tammy’s. She is a lovely high colour doll with the darkest hair of all my Tammy family dolls. I’d really like to get a brunette one day. She is on the original straight Tammy body.

Her outfit is homemade but I think it is one of those pre-printed cut and sew outfits that were popular in the 1960s when little girls were expected to learn to sew.

As I was using Naomi’s Bratz Bar for a background for the photos I decided to send Tammy to the beach via my photo editing program.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  3. She is beautiful and I love the colour of her outfit. I wear that shade of green myself a lot. I have a very similar Tammy with slightly lighter hair. I got her on EBay from Wisconsin. I don ‘t have any genuine Tammy clothes though. Here’s hoping!
