Description
Keepsake prom dolls are made to order. The basic doll is handmade in calico or strong cotton and measures approximately 40cm tall. A smaller version of the doll is available if preferred (see image)
The main aim is to re-create the clothing, hairstyle etc. as shown in the photograph. The doll’s face is a standard design. Accessories are created as closely as possible given the much smaller scale. The colour of the doll’s eyes, hair and skin can be chosen from a limited range.
The date of the prom can be embroidered on the doll’s knickers if desired.
The doll’s clothing is not made to be removed.
If the customer has some remnants of the original fabrics for the clothing in question this may be suitable to use provided it is not too thick. Many fabrics don’t lend themselves readily to creating garments on a much smaller scale and can be too bulky. If a suitable fabric is not provided by the customer, I will try to find an alternative that appears as close to the original as possible.
Neither the doll nor her clothing should be washed. Should cleaning ever be required this should be specialist dry cleaning.
These dolls take many hours’ work and require at least 3 weeks between order and dispatch.
