    Yeah, that's Samantha's birthday dress! Definitely keep that one around. :)
    Miranda looks so much better now. I am glad you rescued her. I cannot believe the seller packed her in that tiny box, though.

      @starryeyeschick 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      No, it's her birthday dress. There's a pinafore that goes over it. It's really quite lovely with the pinafore.

    I'm really creeped out- I own that doll, and the initials on her foot are... MY INITIALS. My initials are SRM. When I sa this video I ran to see if mom secretly sold my ag doll x.x

    For the sharpie on the foot, use hand sanitizer. Trust me, it works every time.

    Keep the dress if you're interested in buying a Samantha doll!!!! It's part of her original historical collection as her peppermint pink dress that comes with a lace pinafore and Rosebud circlet. If you're collecting AGs you should buy Samantha (especially the older ones) because she's one of the first 3 American girl historical collection dolls who was put out in 1986

    Just so you know to get the writing off her foot and any ink stain off with oxy 10 you put it on the spot you want to remove it and then put plastic wrap around it itcan take a while but it will definitely come off. Leave it under a lamp led or the sun cover her hair with a towel it will remove any mark. As for the scratches you can buy micro mesh pads off eBay just rub in a circle on the spot and it will buff it out. I also buy my magic erasers on Amazon I get 100 magic erasers for $8 Canadian it would be cheaper US dollars. Only use a metal too brush or it dries the hair out. Don't use the micro mesh pads over facial paint or it'll rub it off. As well as the oxy it will take off face paint

    Hi! I've been looking on your channel and I noticed you are a newer agtuber. I was actually really surprised when I saw that you had just started your TH-cam channel. You act really calm around the camera like you've been doing this forever and I know I'm not really any body special but I think you have real potential. after watching two of your videos I was very impressed and you have definitely earned a new subscriber!
    Keep up the great work! ~Maggie

    The dress is Samantha's Lacy Pinafore and Rosebud Circlet (also known as Samantha's Pinafore Dress) that came out in 1987 and retired in 2008. It seems that the lace piece has been removed!

    @thesunnygloom 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had a similar experience! I just bought my first American Girl doll (I have other 18 inch dolls) and I spent 35 dollars on Ebay. The original price was 50 but they had the make an offer function and my offer was accepted immediately. The hair was cut, but I planned to use it for a boy doll anyway. It's in the mail so I'm just watching videos in preparation.

    @deliaf3095 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I got a almost perfect condition doll for $20!! The only things " wrong " with her were that her arm came off once but they fixed that and her hair was dry and kinda oily. I just washed her hair once and she was pretty much perfect condition. Great steal!

  • @shirleydrake1602
    @shirleydrake1602 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The striped dress is from Samantha’s collection. There is a white pinafore that goes over it, and white patent leather shoes with pink bows on the top. I think it may be silk. It was the ice cream parlor dress, I think. I have the whole outfit.

    It has to have 10% benzoyl peroxide the sun/led lamp will bleach the stain out don't worry it won't ruin the doll I've done it a million times on dolls many other collectors do it as well.

  • @Claire-ct3yw
    @Claire-ct3yw 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    you can use dry erase marker to get rid of the initials on her foot. If you just write over it and then erase the dry erase marker, the sharpie will come off.

    @bunnyag3335 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    She is so cute! I am currently bidding on a VERY beat up doll and in preparation I’m watching other people fix dolls . The doll I’m bidding on makes me so sad because she “had” very nice long brown hair with bangs but the bangs have been cut to the point where you see the wig cap, her lims look quite loose so if I get her I would have to tighten them( uggghh) , she is in a very questionable outfit, I don’t know what doll she is because she is lying down with her eyes closed( at least I wouldn’t have to fix them) and her lims look SOOOO dirty! It also looks like she has pen on her body but I can’t tell the pics are off focus. So I would have to buy the doll, a wig and the other things like ; backing soda, ( I already have elastic bands) and I need to get a new brush. ( No I don’t get a new brush every time I get a new doll it’s just that my brush is on the verge of dying. I’ve got my work cut out!😂😂😂
