Top shop for gifts.
Buyers bought gifts from this shop and gave them 5-star reviews!
Announcement We took time in 2020 to evaluate our shop policies. Going forward all items will be ready-to-ship. This means they will ship within 5 days of purchases, hopefully sooner, but because my husband's shifts change without notice we do need 5 days flexibility. Stay tuned we have more updated coming.

5 out of 5 starsShipping was a little delayed due to Covid, but the seller made sure I was aware! My package came full of tissue paper so it was ready to be wrapped for my little sister! I can't wait to see how she reacts to these cute toys for her American doll! Perfect size!

5 out of 5 starsWe ordered two Clara doll dresses with modifications to match my girls dresses. With deliveries being so hectic around the 2020 holidays, I reached out twice for updates. Susan responded within a good time frame and was very kind. The package arrived in time for Christmas. The dresses themselves were beautiful. They each came with a nutcracker doll. My daughter and niece were so excited!

1 out of 5 starsI ordered this for the item for a present for birthday and i read the all the listings and policies it mention the shipping time was standard shipping. Then she informs me three weeks because it was now a custom order which was a detail hidden. you had to go all the way to policies to read that. This took several messages to get the response. So I waited the three week to ship. Instead item ships a month and half later. I am not including the time it was in the mail because the seller is not in control of that. But after doing everything as a customer and respecting the seller policies I don't think it is worth the hassle. I am disappointed between the lack of seller communicationand the late delivery. Which is a pity since I have had other great experiences on esty.

5 out of 5 starsI purchased a Clara nutcracker dress for my daughter's American girl doll. The dress is beautiful and very well made. Also, the seller was easy to communicate with during the whole process. I will order from her again! I can't wait to see my daughter's reaction to this dress on Christmas morning!

About ItsSewSusan
A Passion for Doll Fashion
My name is Susan and I have a real passion for high quality American Girl doll clothes. My husband, Robert, and granddaughter, Skylar, work with me to make our shop successful. We are mostly known for beautiful historical American Girl doll clothes and as the American Girl Party People.
I started sewing at my grandmother's knee, when I was nine. A couple of years later, I joined 4-H for eight years. My main focus was always sewing. When I was in college, my mother gave me her vintage black Singer sewing machine. Years later, I rescued a 1948 Singer Featherweight from a truck of junk. Today, I use this same machine to make American Girl doll clothes, whether it be a Scarlett O'Hara dress, party favors for a doll party or 18" doll-sized sleeping bags for a birthday slumber party. Assisting moms with their doll parties is a great joy for us. Perhaps this is an extension from my wedding/party decorating business in the 1980s. We love being a part of making dream parties come true. Our parties include themed parties, too. . .American Girl crafts, 18" doll pizza parties, doll fairy parties complete with wings hand airbrushed by Robert, American Girl pioneer parties, 18" doll colonial parties, and doll tea parties. Don't see the party you are interested in? CONVO US!!! We love developing new ideas with moms.
Beautiful American Girl doll clothes is our business. We are eager to create lovely doll clothes and exciting doll parties especially for you. Convo us so we can make your dreams come true!
"Making little girls smile. This is why I sew."
Our doll clothes fit most 18" dolls and Bitty Baby. We are not affiliated with any doll company.
