Sewn Doll Bodies
- I have had to make some changes in a few of the original body designs.
- Not all of them were workable and others way off the mark.
- Some modifications were necessary, but most bodies will be the original artist’s design, and changes were only made when the body didn’t work with the porcelain pieces.
- Some doll heads also work on other artist’s bodies, so If you are not using the original arms, legs or shoulderplate/breastplate for a doll, please indicate the change in parts so that a body can be sewn to use them.
- Also, let me know if the doll is going to be African American.
- All dolls other than African American will be sewn in Ivory colored fabric.
- Most dolls can be ordered with a pvc tube up the center of the body so that they may use a stand with a dowel rod.
- Adult male dolls will automatically come with the tube, but if you wish it added to another doll, add $2.50 to the price.
- Most bodies are made from either bottom weight twill or broadcloth, and not stuffed, but will come with craft wire through the arm and leg casings.
- Dolls requiring bear joints will come with those installed.
- Ballerina bodies are made from a sturdy stretch material.
- Doll pellets are available on the site for dolls requiring them. (One 1½ lb. bag is enough to complete a 19 inch Sugar Britches).
- All bodies are made to order, and orders will take two or three days to fill.
- Customers will be notified when their order is shipped.
