THE MAM’SELLE FASHION FILES

MAM’SELLE - FOR WELL DRESSED DOLLS We take a look at these sought-after sixties looks...

The ‘Gear Get-Ups’ range was available from 1965-67 Introduced in 1965, the Mam’selle range of fashion accessories and bedding were made in the Lines Brothers factory in Richmond, Surrey. Pedigree already made baby doll clothes and children’s fancy dress outfits under the Mam’selle brand, and it’s believed they branched into Mam’selle Sindy doll clothes in order to keep up with the ‘doll clone’ fashions of the day. In fact, the Mam’selle range was offered as an inexpensive alternative to the main Sindy fashions, which is crazy when you consider how well made they are and the eye-watering prices these pieces can command today. This is also likely due to the fact that they were made in smaller numbers than the main collections.

Mam’selle defined the swinging sixties fashions These younger and cooler fashions were clearly led by the trends of the day. The ‘swinging sixties’ was in full swing and the Mam’selle clothes leaned towards the Mod mood - mini skirts, sleeveless styles, shift dresses, patent finishes, go-go boots, coloured tights and baker boy caps. It was even reflected in some of the names - beat, pop, cool and wildcat.

How to spot Mam’selle: fact file All pieces are Made in England.

Not all the garments have labels so pieces with them are much more sought after.

Poppers are the flat ‘pancake’ style.

These poppers, however, can vary in size and colour.

The brochure sketches are not always reflective of the actual finished pieces.

The A-line shift shapes, Peter Pan collars, bib fronts, bows, and pop art prints and patterns ensured the Mam’selle range stood out from the other Sindy fashions.

Also worth noting is the ‘signature’ bias binding finish on many pieces. Pedigree ceased the production of Mam’selle in 1969.

The toymaking company Lines Brothers was founded by the brothers Walter, William and Arthur Lines in 1919.

The company used Tri-Ang as a brand name, since a triangle is made of three lines.

BLUE BEAT (REF DR351)

This nautical set is described as Sindy’s ‘fab holiday gear’ with white drill bell bottoms, string shirt, captain’s hat and duffle bag.

A stylish turquoise A-line day dress with black stitch detailing.

COLLECTION made from 1965-67, these outfits are now significantly rare, extremely fragile and often very expensive, but to me they are worth every cent - there’s nothing quite as wonderful as opening a parcel, and holding one of these wonderful outfits in my hands, then gently putting it onto one of my 1960s Sindys, knowing they are nearly as old as me!”

Crochet Look (all original including VHTF key fob; Patch shoes)

“When I first started collecting Sindy back in 2005, I didn’t know that the Mam’selle outfits even existed. When I stumbled across the Our Sindy Museum reference site some years later and discovered them, I knew instantly that I wanted to add as many as possible to my collection! I love the designs and fabrics used, as well as the accessories. They are all quintessentially mid-1960s and very much of their time. As the Mam’selle range was only

MISS MOD (REF DR377)

The Pedigree catalogue called this a ‘going away ensemble’. The floral faux wrap dress (it’s stitched from the waist down) was teamed with a matching bonnet style hat and finished with a pink and orange trimmed duster coat.

Very of its time, this blue, green and white brushed cotton plaid coat and matching cap was teamed with a shiny black bag and knee-high boots.

MISS CORTINA (REF DR386) A special arrangement with Pedigree Dolls Ltd and Ford meant that for a limited time Sindy was given a Miss Cortina makeover (and marketed under the “Mam’selle” label) to cross promote this fashionable dress and the new Cortina MkII. The doll came with a folded advertising leaflet (shown above). Sindy wore the iconic black and white checked dress - to represent the chequered flag used to indicate the start and finish of a race which matched the original Cortina dress worn by model Colleen Fitzpatrick in the adverts.

SUNDAY BEST (REF DR375)

OP ART (REF DR361) A sleeveless mini dress with a popular ‘Op Art’ skirt. Op Art, short for Optical Art, is a style of painting originally developed in the late 1950s and 1960s that uses geometric forms to create optical effects, usually in black and white. Well known artists from this period include Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely.

A smart navy blue sailcloth suit consisting of a collarless jacket and an A-line skirt, beautifully trimmed with red binding and a white hoop. It came with a white vinyl handbag and kitten heeled shoes.

Hello Dolly (original dress, repro necklace, hair ribbon added by me. I also added Pedigree kitten heels as I think they look better than either the white or black/gold slip on sandals!)

A 1920s style flapper dress complete with ‘Charleston’ pearls. This shimmering purple chiffon dress is trimmed with tiers of white fringing and small flowers. It came with a matching headband and sandals.

Ship Ahoy (all original)

HELLO DOLLY (REF DR378)

SHIP AHOY (REF DR376) A cool summer outfit of white cotton jumper paired with navy 3/4 length trousers with turnups. This simple look was accessorised with a yellow duffel, white sneakers and some cat eye sunglasses.

with Giselle *Inspired by the Netflix series Emily In Paris, starring Lily Collins. The series focuses on Chicago marketing executive Emily Cooper who is hired to provide an American perspective at a marketing firm, Savoir in Paris.

Paris, a major European city and the capital of France is known as the City of Lights (La Ville Lumière).

A global centre for art, fashion, gastronomy and romantic culture, it’s also known as the City of Love, the Fashion Capital of the World, and the City of Art. The 19thcentury cityscape is crisscrossed by wide boulevards and the River Seine. Beyond such iconic landmarks as the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and the 12th-century, Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral, the city is known for its cafe culture, chic style and the designer boutiques along the Rue du Faubourg SaintHonoré and the Champs Élysées.

Paris Cover: Our freelance contributor Giselle also styled the cover shoot for our June 2023 issue.

The cover featured model Margot shot in front of the Eiffel Tower.

RIVER VIEWS: The slow moving River Seine is a 777 kilometre-long river in northern France that flows through the heart of Paris. It originates near Dijon, and discharges into the English Channel.

In the city, the northern side of the river is described as the Right Bank (Rive Droite) and the southern side as the Left Bank (Rive Gauche).

Spanning the Seine and connecting the Left Bank to the Right Bank are 37 bridges and footbridges. These include: the striking and ornate Pont Alexandre III, regarded as the most beautiful bridge in the world; the Pont des Arts, which was once the ‘love lock bridge’ where lovers added locks to the railings and threw the key in the river; and the oldest standing bridge in the city, Pont Neuf.

The most recognisable landmark in Paris, naturally Emily has countless iconic Eiffel Tower scenes. Although, if the show is to be believed you can see the iconic La Tour Eiffel from every Parisian street and bridge! In reality the wrought-iron lattice tower is on the Champ de Mars and is best viewed (and snapped) from Place du Trocadéro. No matter where you stand, be it at the steps, the gardens, the parvis (forecourt), or in front of the Warsaw Fountain, you are guaranteed some of the best direct views and photographs of the Tower.

Miss Sindy goes to Paris Bonjour, dolls! We’re taking a trip to Paris with @dollsabouttown

Sindy is meeting a friend for afternoon tea after taking Emile, the pampered poodle, for a leisurely stroll down the Avenue Montaigne.

The girls were dressed to impress and enjoyed their exquisite tea hosted by Claude, the waiter. Just like true friends, they never ran out of things to talk about - the perfect day.

And of course Emile wasn’t left out.

Claude brought him a big juicy bone!

PARIS IN SPRING, 1975 'This modern suit gave Sindy just the right amount of joie de vivre in the mid-seventies. Paris in Spring (44230) consists of a soft cotton suit with a pleated skirt, edge to edge jacket, a hard-tofind chiffon pussy neck blouse, trendy shoes and a wide red belt.

The elegant styling, red, white and blue colour palette, and the name all hint at it being inspired by similar designs from the decade; and by the master that is Yves Saint Laurent.
