Thanks so much, Kathy.  I just hate not being able to use the jewelry so I'll give that a try.

Hi Robin,
The jewelry is almost as annoying as the clothes! Try making some
clasps from wire. I use a 24 gauge wire. Form a hook with your needle
nose pliers, and then put a loop after that. Make jump rings by wrapping
the wire multiple times around the end of your needle nose pliers and then
slip off and cut the rings apart. If you need pics, let me know, and I can
probably draw some. What you come out with is a clasp VERY similar to the
ones on vintage Barbs jewelry.

griping - how about jewelry that is sewn on! I mean, I buy the darn doll
just to get the outfit, the jewelry being an important part of the outfit's
appeal, and it can't be removed! I've rethreaded some of the necklaces,
but haven't yet had luck finding clasps that are small enough, so the
results are less than perfect. Sigh...
