Prom Ready

I wanted to postpone posting this until our prom doll meet but then I thought by next week, I might be more excited talking about other things I plan to do this coming weekend. :)


Darla is ready for the prom. She has a new dress and will just ask Jerjer to be her date. Her dress was inspired by the vintage Barbie Fraternity Dance. I realized that when making dresses for Darla (with Takara Licca-chan body), it would be more practical to use the vintage Skipper body (which is slightly bigger than Licca) so that the dress can also fit Skipper. We want our dolls to share dresses, don't we?

If you're tired of your old doll, try giving her a new look. There's nothing like a new dress to help one enjoy an old doll!

Who is Heidi Ott, or what?

Heidi Ott Dolls is a brand of high quality 1/12th scale (dollhouse) doll. They can be redressed. The adult dollhouse dolls (both male and female) are made of 34 body parts which are manufactured in Germany, then assembled, and ultra-sonically welded together and hand finished in Switzerland. The body has 14 movable joints, the heads are hand-painted and some have mohair wigs. The elderly dolls have a soft cloth pose-able body instead. Other outfits are sold separately.

They are designed by mother and son tag team of Heidi Ott and Karl Ott Jr. Heidi Ott has also made bigger dolls, usually children dolls with a rustic country feel.
