American Girl dolls are extremely popular dolls for young girls. They can be ordered on the American Girl website or purchased at one of the American Girl stores in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Dallas or Atlanta. And while the dolls are expensive, the clothing for these dolls can really add up too. There are some ways, however, to outfit your American Girl doll without breaking the bank.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • American Girl doll
  • computer with Internet access
  • credit card for online ordering
  1. Step 1

    Check the Sale Items on the American Girl website. Go to teh American Girl website at www.americangirl.com. Click on the Sale tab. You can always find some American Girl doll items at a discount. The sale items change regularly so check back often.

  2. Step 2

    Do an Ebay search for American Girl doll clothes. Many Ebay sellers sell their used or new American Girl doll clothing. You can often buy clothing items in lots. Go to www.ebay.com and type “American Girl doll clothing” in the search bar. You can also try doing a search for “18” doll clothing”. Remember, when purchasing on Ebay always check the seller's feedback rating to make sure they are a reputable seller.

  3. Step 3

    Check discount stores like Target or Wal-Mart for clothes that fit 18” dolls. Target’s Our Generation doll line is very similar to the American Girl line. You can buy outfits that will fit your American Girl doll at a fraction of the cost. In fact, you can check any store that sells dolls for 18” doll clothing.

  4. Step 4

    Make your own doll clothes. You can purchase doll clothing patterns online. Once again, Ebay is a great resource for American Girl doll clothing patterns. If you enjoy sewing, you can make lots of clothing for your doll- and best of all, you get to pick out the material.

  5. Step 5

    Do a Google search for doll boutiques. There are many websites devoted to selling doll clothing. Some of these sites feature homemade outfits that you can’t find anywhere else. If you’re looking for unique clothing for your American Girl doll, just type “American Girl doll clothes” in the Google.com search bar and check out the results.
