Soft Dolls and Doll Pairs
Historical and cultural doll pairs represent traditional dress from countries around the world. I enjoy doing the husbands and wives as I have seen that at some point, the child grows tired of pretending to be mommy and these allow the attention to focus on the primary relationship in the family and rounds out their preparation for adulthood.
Designed-by-Mommy dolls allow you to choose the designs and materials that you feel are best for your child.
Portrait Rag Dolls are a tribute or memorial made in the likeness of someone you know. I try to attain similarities in hair color and style, eye color, and certain particular identifying traits if possible, as well as the type of clothing your subject customarily wears during leisure or work.
Product details
These dolls are quite large, both being around 2 feet tall. The gentlemen average 25", and the ladies average 20". They are soft-bodied and stuffed with clean new poly fibers, washable, sturdily constructioned (double stitched along all interior seams. They are simple rag dolls and while they feature fingers and toes, they have no hidden anatomy.
I used examples of genuine traditional, regional costumes to give these dolls a place in the world. I then designed and built the dolls and costumes from all new materials. All costumes are completely removable. Changes of clothes may be purchased separately, like pajamas and so forth. If you would like changes of costume, just drop me a note telling me what you would like and I will make that for you.
Currently, all dolls are made to order; there are none in stock. You choose theme, skin, hair, and eye shades, costume fabrics, etc. from beginning to end. Please allow 2 to 6 weeks to complete your order. Time depends usually upon the type of costumes you choose and the number of dolls that you order.
