Answer 1

i had a cindy doll, but didnt like her. my mum had a tressy doll when she was about 8yrs and she was saying she did the same as you, and wondered why it wouldnt grow.

Answer 2

I had a Tressy, but I have another one to replace the one I had a child. The hair grew on mine and, with a little work, still grows on the replacement. I'm not sure if the British Tressy was the same as the American version...and wasn't there a Tressy in the 70's who was a friend of Crissy's? The ones I had/have were made by American Character. I also have her friend Misty and her little sister Cricket.

Answer 3

I had a Tressy doll, I loved it, You had a key to put in her back to shorten her hair and pushed her belly button to pull the hair long. I was gutted when I lost the key,till I found a small screwdriver to use instead. Also had Sindy and Pippa dolls.My daughter has got my pippa dolls cos I never parted with them.

Answer 4

Oh I loved my Tressy! I had a blondish one and my cousin had a brunette. I also had the Tressy that came with make-up that you could put on her face. We spent many hourse playing with Tressy also Tammy and Barbies. Those are some of my fondest childhood memories!

Answer 5

Yea I'll admit it, I had her, and still do along with 499 other dolls to keep her company! (I collect dolls). She's still just as pretty as she was back then,...at least in my eyes.
