Doll Restoration

Over the past month or so, I've been cleaning & renovating some of my 1950/60s vinyl fashion dolls. Here's the most impressive one before I started work.


She's a "Miss Rosebud" bridal doll: the body had white marks on it & was grubby in places, her hair was very flat & dusty & the dress was very grubby with some staining to the lace & net. She was washed using Ecover washing solution & her hair washed with Johnsons Extra Sensitive Baby Shampoo. The dress was left to soak in Vanish & then washed in Stergene. Here's the finished result.

The 2 dolls in the background were also cleaned - they too are Miss Rosebud dolls.
