The Building of... THE PRIORS ... a doll room

So what is a fashion doll? It's a doll that is shaped like an adult human, as in not a child or baby doll. Before Barbie came out in 1959 most adult dolls were paper, then Ruth Halder (inventor of Barbie)  found the Bild Lilli doll while on holiday in Germany. She returned to the USA and after some back and forth Barbie was created. This is not meant as a history lesson for more details there are books and google. Bild Lilli and a #1 Barbie both from the collection of Louise Scarlett Sinclair Cook   This is more about shape and size So the first Barbie came out in 1959 followed by Ken in 1961 (not my photo) Over the years Barbie and Ken have changed shape a few times, to fit in with the body shapes of that era. There have been other fashion dolls  through the years Sindy(1963) and her boyfriend Paul (1965-1967) then again in the 80's (1987-1989).  Photos by SinkySnap Tressy (1963-1965) with the grow out hair along with others.  (not my photo) Only Sindy has last...

 Making My Mini Baby nappies (diapers)   The quick and easy way by using bandage ...self adhesive elastic bandage to be exact.  You do need it to be at least 5cm wide to be able to fit the nappy on.   It comes in a ton of colours and even the odd patterned one. Can be found in Chemists (Pharmacy) Amazon, Temu etc Use a nappy from a My Mini Baby and make a paper template   Pin if you want to the bandage but as the bandage is a little tacky you can trace around the template without a pin. I used a Threaders pen that can be washed out.   Cut it out, you might find you need to trim for best fit   And that's it!
