[@DebsDollRoom]

I still have my Tressy from my childhood (1960's). She has always been one of my favorite dolls !!!

[@serenata1736]

She is fabulous isn't she?! Wonderful you still have your childhood doll.

Im sure i had a tressy doll ,cant remember what happened to her . Mum and me spent ages making clothes.....sweet memories thank you !

[@DoriesDollies]

Your Tressy dolls are in such lovely condition! I remember playing with my sister’s. 😍💖🥰

[@serenata1736]

Thank you 🤗They were such fun dolls. I remember playing with a friend in NZ. I was amazed she had one, as most children their didn't and hadn't even heard of them. She had the 'V' leg type if I remember rightly.

Thank you :)

Very interesting. I always wondered about the long hair bits on these dolls, now I know they have a hair grow mechanism. Thanks for sharing.

[@serenata1736]

Glad you found it interesting 😊😁

[@shirleyspanjer8742]

The dolls are lovely! I never had a Tressy but I always keep an eye out for one. I did have a Tammy and a Pepper so have found dolls like the ones I grew up with.😍

[@serenata1736]

Wonderful that you were able to find some childhood dolls. It is fun. Good luck with your Tressy hunt. 😊

You’re welcome 😊 Thank you for watching and yes it was amazing!

[@Equestrianmommy]

Oh wow the makeup! Very cool! That’s so great you have all of these!

[@serenata1736]

Thank you 🤗 I am glad I kept these, even if I don't do anything much with them, it is fun to go through them and have a look.

[@Equestrianmommy]

@@serenata1736 Yes! They complete them! It’s fantastic!

[@MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis]

I'm sure for a child in the late 60s having a doll who's hair grew must have felt like magic. I'm sure I vaguely remember a doll who had hair which grew but not sure if it was a Tressy or not. She is a very sweet looking doll though.

[@serenata1736]

It was magic!

[@SmallPlasticWorld]

Thank you so much for this great video, I just thrifted a doll and I wasn't sure who exactly she is, and this confirmed that it's Tressy! Thank you so much for showing how her hair mechanism works, I don't have her key but I can maybe figure out a substitute. :)

[@serenata1736]

You are so welcome! I am so pleased that this video found its way to your viewing and that it helped you. A little screwdriver works fine as well for the hair mechanism. One day if I ever get another, I will show how the mechanism will be fixed... as I used to fix loads of Tressy dolls, but it is not an active collection anymore and I just have these few dolls now. :) Thank you for commenting on my video, much appreciated.

[@Equestrianmommy]

I have never heard of Tressy Dolls. Oh the hair grows! Is that why it’s called Tressy? Aw I’m sorry they went missing but I love this one and the outfit your mom made! It’s beautiful!

[@serenata1736]

Thanks so much. They were very popular here in the UK and I guess the USA in the late sixties early seventies. I'm so pleased I still have the outfits my Mum made, they are so special.

[@ladycroftbayonetta7908]

along with vintage Barbie i started loving Tressy too but one thing dissapoints me about her is that her hair is not as full as presents in the commercial

[@serenata1736]

Ah yes, they never look quite like the commercials do they! I wonder if when they were new there hair was thicker...I did get one from new, but I as it was so long ago, I can't remember!
