Clip fashion for a doll

Abstract

An article of doll clothing is provided having two sections. Each section has a back portion and a front portion, the front portions having a lateral edge and the back portions being joined together about a clasp region. The clasp region includes a spring mechanism pivotally attaching the two sections and is normally biased by the spring mechanism such that the two sections are in a closed position. Compressing and releasing the clasp region separates and closes the two sections about the lateral edges such that the article of clothing may easily be applied or removed from a doll. The two sections may have various sizes, shapes and styling to provide varying types of clothing for dolls that can easily be applied and/or removed.
