Velvet wearing her Original Limited Edition Outfit
Velvet is a Limited Edition Sasha 180 produced in 1981. Velvet is number 3844 of 5000.
What can I say about Velvet? She really is perfection. There is something particularly attractive about her dark hair (brunette wig) and lovely soft grey-blue eyes. Velvet has an expressive face and is one of the most photogenic Sasha dolls. Velvet arrived with me in 2004.
She is wearing her original outfit a navy blue velvet dress with white lace trim at the neck and cuffs. She has a broderie Anglais half slip, white underwear and white knee socks. The outfit is completed with a pair of black shiny court shoes with a bow on the front.
Ffyon wearing her Original Pintucks Outfit
Ffyon is a Limited Edition Sasha Pintucks 182A (blond human hair wig) produced in 1982. She is number 3320 and has teal/grey eyes which really suit her. She arrived with me in 2004.
Ffyon is wearing her original white dress with pintuck detailing and a pretty ruffled collar and long sleeves with gathered cuff… she has an A-line style full white slip, white pants, white ankle socks and dark green velvety Mary Jane style ankle strap shoes with heels.
Her side part blonde human hair wig is held back on one side by a brown barette with a pink cloth flower attached.
Ffyon is a beautiful Sasha and I always find her to be very photogenic when she is modelling for me.
Rowena wearing her Limited Edition Kiltie Outfit
Rowena is a Limited Edition “Kiltie” 183A produced in 1983. She is one of 4000. When I bought her she arrived wearing all her clothing except she had a “Velvet” dress instead of her Blackwatch tartan dress. This of course set me on a long period of watching eBay until finally, a Kiltie dress came up for sale. This really delighted me and she duly arrived in time for Christmas as my present from Neil. Neil was pleased because the seller had wrapped her in Christmas paper so I didn’t get to see her until Christmas Day!
Rowena is a very pretty girl. I love her human hair auburn wig with always looks great in photos. I do find that these wigs require a little effort and I condition them about twice a year.
Her outfit consists of a black watch tartan dress with attached slip, black tights, black kid leather dancing shoes, an amethyst pendant on an elastic string and a brown barette to hold her hair back.
This is a very pretty outfit and I think she would look very cute in her Scottish Dancing class.
Rowena was one of the Sasha dolls that I most looked forward to finding and adding to my collection. She is such a pretty girl and I always think she looks wonderful in photographs.
Velvet wearing Anna’s Limited Edition Harlequin Outfit
Velvet is wearing Anna’s Limited Edition “Harlequin”, Anna is numbered 184A and was produced in 1984. Velvet is described above and was made in 1982.
The Harlequin outfit consists of a pink, white and blue diamond pattern dress with wide colour and half-length sleeves, matching pants, red sandals, a straw hat with a pink flower, a brown hair slide and a red guitar.
Royal Pair
Martin wearing his Limited Edition Prince Gregor outfit
Martin is a Limited Edition Prince Gregor produced in 1985. He is number 2536 of 3000, although 4000 were planned. He has cobalt blue eyes and wears a short brunette wig. Martin arrived in 2004.
He is a very handsome Gregor and I miss him now that he is up for rehoming.
He is wearing his original navy velvet tunic with a white ruffle collar, matching trousers matching hat with a white feather plume, white underwear, white ankle socks, navy shiny court shoes with blue jewel trim and a bright blue sash with a blue jewel pendant.
Martin is also a very photogenic Gregor and always looks great.
Josephine wearing a Reproduction Princess outfit
Josephine is (according to the label attached to her by her previous owner) one of the last two to come out of the factory and had not yet been given a number. She has a ‘scar’ on the back of her neck where the factory attempted to remove the Limited Edition lettering. She did arrive with her original human hair princess wig which I have glued in place.
I named her after her previous owner who was downsizing her collection.
I have created Josephine’s outfit as a reproduction of what the “Princess” dolls would have worn. I am very pleased with the result. The outfit includes a navy hooded cloak lined with pink, a pink dress with a tiered ruffled skirt, white pants with embroidered trim, white ankle socks, pink leather court shoes and a navy velvet neck ribbon with a hanging jewel.
Marianne Limited Edition for Friends of Sasha
I think that Marianne is one of the prettiest Sasha dolls around (although I really do have to acknowledge a particular liking for redhead and auburn-haired dolls). I remember the first time I saw Marianne in person was when I had the opportunity of visiting Kendal and seeing her amazing Sasha collection (Such an amazing treat). A few months later Dorisanne was selling a few Marianne dolls and I was lucky enough to have this girl arrive in 2006 in time for Christmas. She is number 8.
She is particularly beautiful, with clear turquoise eyes, a long fringe and the most amazingly beautiful very long silky hair.
Marianne is wearing her original turquoise cord yoke dress with matching pants, white ribbed vest, white ankle socks and white leather Mary Jane style ankle strap shoes.
I just adore this delightful girl and her gorgeous outfit.
Friends of Sasha is a wonderful series of magazines that I have spent many happy hours reading. Dorisanne Osborne has so much knowledge about the Sasha dolls and their outfits and has been so generous in passing this knowledge on. I think she may still have some back issues available. If she does, they are well worth buying if you don’t already have them.

Ariel wearing her Native American Outfit
Ariel is a lovely doll, made in 2001 by the Gotz production (01-08032). She is one of a limited edition of 500 dolls named “Yamka”, but I liked the name Ariel better. She was created to look like a doll in the Sasha Morgenthaler Puppenmuseum.
She is described as a South American gypsy girl, but I always think of her as a Native American girl. She is one of my Mum’s favourite Sashas and she also has a Yamka in her own collection.
Ariel is wearing her original outfit. The outfit includes a long pink linen yoke dress with cuts at the sleeves and skirt, a white vest and pants.
