Shoe Guide - Purple

It has been my experience that the purple shoes have a tendency to discolor more than the other colored shoes. This can make it difficult to identify some of them online because it's hard to tell if the lighting in the picture is off or if the shoes themselves have discolored.

A) Angel Cake's shoes from the vintage era.

B) From the Berry Quaint Berry Wear set from the vintage era.

C) Almond Tea's shoes from the vintage era.

D) Almond's Party Pleaser shoes from the vintage era.

E) Raspberry Tart's alternate, vintage style shoes from the "Rock N Berry Roll" THQ doll.

F) Lime Chiffon's shoes from the "Dance N Berry-cise" THQ doll.

G) Plum Puddin's Berrykin shoes from the vintage era.

H) Angel Cake's from the Bridge Direct classic dolls. The have the letters "TBD" on the inside sole.

Here is a comparison picture of the purple shoes for Almond Tea and Plum Puddin.

A) Almond Tea's shoes.

B) Almond's Party Pleaser shoes.

C) Plum Puddin's Berrykin shoes.

Pictured in this second photo are the shoes for Angel Cake and Cafe Ole Party Pleaser.

A) Angel's Party Pleaser shoes from the vintage era.

B) Cafe's Party Pleaser shoes from the vintage era.

I believe Angel's shoes are supposed to be a light shade of purple but have faded making it hard to distinguish them unless they're side by side, especially in online photos.

Shoe Guide - Pink

Pink is, by far, the most popular color for shoes in Strawberryland! To make it more challenging, there are several shades of pink for the same style shoe in both the vintage and modern eras. There are so many pink colored shoes that I've split them into vintage and modern photos. A) Raspberry Tart's shoes from the vintage era. Their original color is a pale pink, but they often fade to a really pale, almost white, color. B) Lime Chiffon's shoes from the vintage era. C) Cafe Ole's shoes from the vintage era. D) Dancin' Strawberry Shortcake's shoes from the vintage era. E) Strawberry's Party Pleaser and Berrykin shoes. This shoe is one of the very few, if not the only, that was used for more than one doll in the same style / color combination. F) From the Berry Pretty Berry Wear set from the vintage era. This shoe originally came with the set and was replaced by style G. G) From the Berry Pretty Berry Wear set from the vintage era. ...

Shoe Guide - Slippers & Socks

This post includes the last category of "shoes" for the SSC dolls. I've decided to lump all non-plastic feet coverings together. This does not include socks or tights that are worn under shoes. Those will come in a separate post. A) Apple Dumplin's sock from the vintage era. It's also worn by Lem and Ada. B) Apricot's sock from the vintage era. C) Cherry Cuddler's sock from the vintage era.

I) Strawberry Shortcake's slippers from the "Berry Sweet Sleepover" THQ doll. J) Strawberry's alternate outfit socks from the "Berry Sweet Sleepover" THQ doll.

Tights & Socks

Let's talk about tights. One of the main identifiers of Strawberry Shortcake and her friends is those bright and cheerful green and white striped tights. The tights have changed over the years as manufacturers have changed. Below is a comparison picture of the trademark green and white tights. A) Vintage era tights. B) THQ era tights. I'm not sure if these were ever the same shade of green as the others. All of the green stripes whether they are on tights, bows, socks, etc are this same shade of yellow-y green. A note about these tights: I have yet to get them on a doll. The one time I did, they split at the seams and were about 1/4 inch too short in the stride. C) Hasbro tights worn by the 2010 Anniversary 3-pack. The stripes are much narrower than the others. They are almost as narrow as the tights from the vintage Brazilian dolls. D) Bridge Direct tights. The stripes are wider than the others. These tights are a...
