During the height of popularity for miniature fashion dolls, nearly every toy company under the sun made their own 6-1/2" (or thereabouts) Dawn-style doll. Many of these dolls were very inexpensively-made "clones", or "knock-off" dolls. The quality was not as good as that found in Topper Dawn or Mattel RockFlower dolls, but their fashions continually show up in miscellaneous clothing lots. These dolls were not supported by their own line of individual fashions; rather, each fashion came packaged on the doll. Even today, many "dollar store" clone dolls are sold with doll and outfit together, and very seldom are separate fashions made to fit these dolls.
If you have unidentified "clone" fashions that fit Dawn lying around, have a look below. It may belong to one of these girls! |

Most of the dolls on this page are what have come to be known as "H17" or "K17" clones. These dolls were made after Topper Toys fell into bankruptcy and liquidated most of their stock. The heads on these dolls are all Longlocks head molds H17 or K17. However, they are generally rooted only down the middle of the head, and they have no eyelashes. The direction the eyes are looking in may vary from doll to doll; in the examples above, the one on the left looks to her left and the one in the middle looks to her right. |

The body style on these dolls is similar to Topper Dawn dolls only insofar as they have a twist-n-turn waist, and are jointed at the neck, shoulders and hips. They are made of a cheap, hollow plastic, and the legs do not bend at the knees.
Both the Lil' Disco Doll and the Lil' Miss Fashion were made by Fun World, Inc. of Glen Cove, NY. I haven't been able to determine if the Mini-Fashion Dolls were made by the same company under another name, or if Fun World (like Topper) went bankrupt and sold off their stock to a third party. |

This jumpsuit has an orange top; a variation from the pink-topped one above. |

This coppery-bronze dress is a color variation of the teal-colored one above. |

This Lil' Miss Fashion is shown with a Tina Mod doll. |

The backer of this Ja-Ru blister carded doll shows a few more available fashions, but only if you buy the doll who's wearing it. The mini with the ship's wheels also came on the Mini-Fashion Doll above. |

This red pantsuit seems to be very popular on clone dolls. It shows up on the Lil Miss Fashion doll at the top of the page, on the Mini Fashion doll just above, and on the Ja-Ru doll at the right. It's actually one of my favorite knock-off fashions. |

The backer on this blister card shows artist's renditions of the dress this doll is wearing, as well as a familiar-looking pantsuit worn by Lil' Disco Doll and Lil' Miss Fashion. |

This is the only one of these I've seen come up at auction. Other available fashions (probably on the doll) are shown on the card. |

Two versions of The Bride doll, one by Ja-Ru and the other by an unidentified manufacturer with French on the blister card. Note the two different bridal gowns, and the other styles shown on the card.
Ja-Ru also made a Dream Bride doll, but I do not have a good picture of her. |

Forever Yours dolls, like Vogue's Glitter Girl, came with a ring accessory for the little girl who owned the doll. |

This rather unique little doll came with leg-warmers, bodysuit and sash, and headband. I'm proud to say she is in my personal collection. Manufacturer is unknown. |
