Ballerina Doll

Around year 1989/1990, there was a fad of knitting ballerina dress for small plastic dolls. The doll was then hang onto the front mirror dolls or glued to the dashboard. I wonder if anyone still remember that fad. At that time nearly every car has one of such decoration.


If I remember correctly, the chubby plastic doll cost 90 sen and the yard cost around RM1-50. One ball of yard is enough to make 1 dress.


A few years back, I saw the doll sold at knitting shop in IOI Mall Puchong for RM7(without the dress). I was like "WHAT???!! Just a 5cm-6cm plastic doll selling for RM7???"


I wonder if any knitting shop in KL area still sell those dolls. If anyone know, drop me a message ya.
