Here we have a big girl, Vintage, that her owner brought in for repair repairs. I gave her a bath and wanted to keep her as original as possible so I used a pre-sewn body that many use on the “re-born” dolls and slipped it over her original body and took it in, in places where it was needed and put poly fill in to fill out other areas. Because the torso’s are made of a hard plastic these vintage dolls tend to get very crumbly so the cloth body gave me something to attach the arm to, that arm would obviously be a little looser, but would still give her the ability to pose.
Feel free to ask any questions I don’t mind sharing my knowledge.
