Hispanic Girl

Outfit
OOAK Sateen Lace Dress
Made by Bonnie USA
Repairs
I'd been wanting an Hispanic for sooo long. In my opinion, she had pilling which detracted from her beauty so she had a wash and depill. I found her to be much dirtier than expected, but cleaned so easily. Some pen stains on the backs of her legs which wouldn't budge but they are hard to see when she is dry. Her hair was perfect so just needed to redirect the fringe. SHE IS JUST DIVINE!!

Aussie Brunette Sidepart Ringlet
Brown Eyes, Pink & Peach
SN #-----
Outfit
Repro Dress+Original Pink Pinny
Dress made by Laurence (France)
Repairs
Well I must admit, I have been looking for a brunette sidepart ringlet for so long. Not only one without too much damage, but one which was in my price range. We all know how impossible it is to find them and if you do, you're very lucky. I was very fortunate to be offered this girl from a special person. Although she has her minor things, I simply adore her. Her hair is AMAZING and soft. No frizz at all. Her eyes are a little dull, but hey, who's picking?? She is super to me and now I can semi retire knowing I have a gorgeous doll like her.

Repro Lavender Flare Dress
Made by Nicole & Maria

Repairs
When this girl arrived, she was actually quite a bit worse than I imagined she would be. Her pilling was REALLY BAD!!! She soaked for 18 hours and after a Depilling treatment, her skin is now pretty smooth. I straightened her dry yucky hair with a straightening iron. It worked so well. I was scared doing it though. I also slightly added a bit of colour to her lips, eyes and cheeks. She looks so happy now.

Repairs
She is my first AA and I'm very happy to get her. She only needed her face smoothed out and her hair neatened. She is such a sweety. I have her here with Belinda's AA girl. They look totally different in the face. Just amazing dolls. Such individuals.
She has her pet Labrador Luke with her. He's a lovely Ty Beanie dog I bought especially for her.

Outfit
Olive & Lemon Party Dress
Made by Bonnie USA
Repairs
This girl was in very minty condition. Although her make up was faded, her skin was amazing. Her entire part needed re weaving as well as her fringe and her make up required quite a bit of retouching as it was very faded. Her hands look different from all of my other dolls. Although stitching is original, she kind of looks like a prototype!!?? Wonderful skin on this girl.

Outfit
Original Floral Pinny Set
Repairs
All of her original parting was still intact. She had a quick bath to remove her musty smell and her hair was conditioned.
She has a dented face which makes her eyes appear closer.
I re defined her make up and added extra eyeshadow & longer lashes to the outside edges of her eyes to balance out the dent. For a collector this doll presents beautifully and has lovely skin.

This little girl was in pretty good condition. Just needed a good clean, pilling smoothed out and a bit of mould removed. Her hair needed reparting around the head. Her hair is so soft and her pilling smoothed out well. Her make up was in great condition and she has the most beautiful eyes. Cleaned up, this doll is in beautiful condition, no hair cuts and top knotch, A lovely collector doll.

Teal Repro Flare Dress
Made by Nicole & Maria USA
Repairs
As you can see from the before photo, her make up had not been restored to her original 'look'. She had a bath and I removed almost all of the old make up.Fringe part rewoven. Her eyes protrude quite a bit and I thought she was the perfect opportunity to do a 'new' make up look for her. I added smoky eyeshadow (to hide the protruding eyes) and gave her a strong mouth and cheeks. She currently resides with my mother inlaw Bev.

Another face I fell in love with. She just needed some minor things. She didn't need a wash, I just spritz her face and did a light smooth, tied her hair in black ribbons and combed her fringe. So cute. Her previous Mum thought she may have been an UL with a hair cut as her fringe is very full. Her hair is super soft and shiny. Cute as a button!!

Sweet little face!! She has a bit of face sagging, but I sprayed her face with water and pulled back the skin. Worked quite well although she still has sagging. Her skin is SO SOFT and her hair is fabulous although her centre part needs a little work. She has 95% minty mint skin, gorgeous eyes (minor factory fault on one eye. You can see it in the BEFORE photo here at the bottom of the eye on the left. Slight flaw) No heart on bum.

Aussie Brunette V Part
Aqua Eyes, Peach & Pink
SN #2117HR
CONDITION
Gorgeous hair. Clean skin. Her left eye has some marks but they don't detract from her beauty. The whites look like they may have been touched up a tiny bit, but very good job. The biggest flaw is that her back has been unstitched and restitched. When I got her she was like this (but wasn't told). She doesn't look tampered with at all. Displays beautifully. Will only sell for a good price. Will keep her otherwise. Presents beautifully.

Poor little baby!! This girl was my very first attempt at wigging. She just looked so sad. She was super duper dirty and had big hair cuts. Soaked for 2 days. Cutting off the hair was weird, but I think it was all worth it. I did trim the length of the wig as it was far too long. This wig is made from human hair and cost me more than the doll, but so worth it. The hair comes down to her ankles. So cute. Wig is not sewn on. The colour of the wig is more brown/copper colour than the photo. Wig cost me $100. She does have a scratched right eye. Not a mint doll but pretty to display

Her fringe seems shorter though but it seems even. This little darling is the has the happiest face with a dash of cheekiness.

This little girl has big hair cuts. Her face was too cute to pass up. She unfortunately had too many hair cuts to save, poor girl. She had a light wash and some mould removal (she looked so clean I was surprised), face and body depill.
I gave her this cute mohair wig which is very cute and curly and some more make up as she was very faded and pale. She looks so cute and she has found a new zest on life after her make over.

Brunette Popny Ringlet??

Repairs
What a sad little girl. A gorgeous friend has given this baby to me, in hope she will avoid the garbage. Oh so sad. She was SO DIRTY and when she jumped in the spa, she was covered in grime and mould. 2 days she has soaked for and is now surprisingly clean and fresh. I conditioned her hair last night but all of her parts need reweaving and fringes take so long. She has a cut in her lip, I hope to cover that up a bit with a combo of pile fluffing and make up. She looks much happier after her bath. The water smelt so bad!!! hehehe poor baby. Believe it or not, the photo doesn't capture ow dirty she really was.

I conditioned his hair, brushed his face, gave him some colour to lift his spirits. He's been finished for a while now, but was waiting for the right outfit. This one is perfect on him. Very cute.
