HERE is a good comparison of Ginny bodies, over the years.

Angora!


My mother had these little balls of rabbit angora yarn.  She asked me if I wanted them.  I did.  I did nothing with them for years.  A year or so after my mother died, I knit some sweaters for dolls using Mom's yarn.

Sweaters are my work.  Everything else is Mattel.

Possibilities

Once in a while I remember to
try out clothes on dolls they were
not made for.
The sun suit I made for Betsy doesn't quite work for Miss Ginny.

Miss Ginny's dress looks fine on Deondra.

Miss Ginny Got Dressed!

Here she is.

Marked:
 Vogue Doll
c 1974
on her head
(the c is in a circle)

Sitting with my volunteer viola(s).
Her shoes were "donated" by a thrifted porcelain doll.

She was nude, when I got her.
She's about 14 inches tall, I think.
(I forgot to measure.)

So I made her some panties and a dress.
This picture shows the colors more realistically,
though the background isn't as pretty as the other ones.
