This is Lucy

This one wasn't a waif! (In fact, she's in good condition apart from her hair). She's my niece, Lucy (Erin's doll). She was wearing a dress knitted by Grandma W.

She had very difficult hair to sort out! It felt like she'd been swimming in the sea and not showered after. Many hairs were double-rooted - like ingrown hairs, plugged into her head at both ends! I couldn't find any definite parts to work out what her original style was but I think I eventually got it almost right! It's much smoother and shinier anyway. I also re-did her make up because it was faded.



She's generally in good condition - I didn't find any of the common mould, just some surface dirt which is gone now; her joints are only slightly loose; she has the heart sticker and serial number. She originally had a yellow sailor dress so I haven't dressed her yet in the hope of finding it or something similar (or having mum make one!). When she is dressed she will also have a matching ribbon and name bracelet.

OK so far Erin? :o)
