This seems like a really dumb question, but I know that when I was a
child, you could buy doll clothes separate from the dolls and that I had
a lot of different outfits for my various dolls.

Well, now my 3 yr old is getting into dressing and undressing dolls and
various stuffed toys (her favorite right now is to put the clothes from
my Cabbage patch dolls on her stuffed dinosaurs), and I'd like to get her
some more outfits since, silly me, I kept the dolls and my favorite
outfits, but got rid of the rest. And, well, having been through Toys R
Us and Target, I can get tons of dolls dressed in different ways, but not
really clothes separately. I don't sew, unfortunately. My mother tried to
teach me, but I can't draw a straight line even with a ruler, or sew
anything approximating a straight seam with a sewing machine, let alone
anything fancier.

Any ideas?

I've seen plenty of plain clothing at specialty toy stores.

She actually puts clothing back on the dolls? DD loves to strip them down,
but the only person that puts them back on so far is me. Therefore, we
have a lot of naked babies.

She puts clothes on everything. Today we have a triceratops in a white dress
with a napkin on her head (I guess she's a bride) and a Brachiosaurus with a
blue scarf draped around her who is supposed to be Cinderella. I think
there's a T-rex Ballerina around here somewhere with a hair scrunchie as a
tutu.

This is also the same child who took the arms from Mr Potato head, put them
on her stuffed dragon, and said "look! Draggy's Armed and Dangerous!"

LOL she sounds so funny :-)
Anyway, you might try looking on ebay. You can probably find outfits
a little less expensive than the specialty toy shops.
