The Betsy McCall Doll started out as a paper doll character around 1951 to help sell sewing patterns. In 1952, the Ideal Company started making the Betsy McCall Doll as a 14" size doll. In 1957, the American Character Doll Company started manufacturing the dolls in 8", 14", 20", 22" 29/30" sizes. The Uneeda Company made a 11.5" tall Betsy McCall Doll as well. Betsy McCall was a hugely popular baby doll and was made for years and has made a new appearance now being manufactured by the Robert Tonner Company. Due to her popularity, patterns were made so that mothers and their daughters could make additional outfits for these darling dolls. The Betsy McCall doll was made several sizes by several companies. Patterns were made for her in sizes: 8", 11.5", 14" and 30" and I have a large assortment of these patterns available.
This pattern was originally created Jan 2, 1959. The copyright for this pattern has expired and it entered the public domain Jan 1, 1988.
