Fabric Dolls are made out of jersy knit cloth, craft velour, cotton, stretch knit or some similar type of stretch cloth. Some dolls can also come with heavy duty wire in arms and legs for some posablity and to make the doll a free standing doll (one not requirig a doll stand). Other designs are either in a fixed position (such as sitting) and will only have a firmer stuffing for support (no wire). Each type of doll will list if it is posable or not.
Mermaid/Mermen Dolls are made from both a jersy knit cloth and a stetch nylon or spandex type cloth for tail. Their fins are made of Tulle or some similiar cloth to help prevent fraying. Their tails are stuffed with either foam fill (safe for children 4 and up) or stuffing beads (not reccommended for children under 10). These dolls will sit up if propped against a solid surface or will lean and or lay down. Arms may come with or without wire for some posabliity.

There are 2 ways to order fabrc dolls from me. The first is by buying one of the dolls listed on the site for sale. These dolls come as they are pictured with the Kimono Doll being the exception. The Kimono doll comes with a choice of silk or cotton kimono and certain color options for silk kimono.
The other is to Commission a Doll to customise. Commissioned Dolls are made to your specifications to the best of my ability. You decide on the type of doll you want, the type, style and color of hair, color of skin (if applicable), and type of outfit and accessories.
When placing an order or commission for a Fabric Doll there are a few things to remember. Please take into consideration:
Options for fabric dolls:
Skin color of doll is very basic. Due to the type of fabrics needed to make the doll - color is limited to light beige, chamois, pale pink, off white, cream, tan and light brown.
Hair for the dolls is made from different types of materials- embroidery thread, yarn, nylon doll hair, basic curly doll hair, buttersuede, felt, fleece, or thread (only for the small basic doll as of yet). Colors vary and may not be available in all types. Please email me for availability of color and type.
All Commissioned dolls come with 1 BASIC Outfit (ex. pants & t-shirt, basic dress, shorts/skirt & shirt). For the more elaborate outfits such as tunics, period clothing, silk kimonos, or clothes with lots of embelishments can be done for a small added fee. The Kimono Doll comes with a basic cotton kimono for outfit unless specified otherwise.
Extra outfits can be made for doll for a fee depending on type of outfit and material used.
Accessories can also be made for the doll for small fee depening on the type of accessory. Swords, staffs and such will cost slightly more than jewelry for example. Accessories also depend on availability of materials needed for the item.
