Formerly unnamed 17-inch all-vinyl doll by Nathaniel Dolls |
This close-up of her too-cute face reveals her upper and lower teeth. |
Two years ago, Betty A. sent this pair of white shoes along with the faceless cloth doll (Patty-Jo) that she made for me. The shoes fit this doll perfectly, but she needed socks. |
The headband was cut along the original seam. |
The necessary length for the foot and ankle area of the socks was measured by placing the cut headband against her foot and extending it above the ankle area. |
With the socks flipped outside in so that the seams would be on the inside, she tried them on for size. The fit is perfect. To prevent fraying, the tops were rolled over twice. |
The double rolling of the top of the socks was undone to create knee-high socks. The top edges were rolled under to prevent fraying. |
Here is a close-up of the socks and shoes. |
A pushpin was used to pierce her ears. She smiled the entire time. |
After both ears were pierced, faux diamond studs were placed in each earlobe. |
Her mound of thick, curly hair is rooted close enough to be worn loose without scalp exposure. |
Now she wears a yellow seersucker dress that Betty A. made for Patty-Jo. |
I painted her fingernails and toenails using off-white acrylic paint. Initially, I was going to use fingernail polish but decided to use paint and a thin paintbrush instead.
For a more casual look, she opted to wear a pair of white sandals that I had on hand. The sandals were purchased from Aliexpress along with a brown and orange pair shortly after Reema Afia by Makedaa Dolls arrived. They fit this doll perfectly.
Ready for Spring
Her smile reminds me of a toddler whose photos and images I have seen online. |
Named for an adorable toddler who has her own YouTube channel and Facebook and Instagram accounts, Milan Marie, the doll, is ready for spring and summer weather. She can change her more casual look to dressy by simply replacing her white sandals with her white socks and shoes.
