hiya June,
im not sure of how you measure the items, i took a peace of cord and measured the legs from the big toe up and the same with the arm, then measured them on a tape measure they measure around 7ins each.
the head i measured like you would a baby's head and its 13ins approx, hope this helps
i thought about 17 or 18 ins body?

thanks Carol x

I think she makes an 18 to 19 inch baby.

The head measurement is more like a 19"-20" doll or 20-22" because a 22" doll would wear a 13/14 wig usually. But measure the leg from the heal up to the top of the leg, not from the toe (and are they full limbs or 3/4 limbs? That would make a difference too)!
Yep, I say show us a pic in the showcase!

Hiya,
the limbs are 3/4 and they bend lol,
if the doll makes a 19 inch/ 20 inch doll, i know this may sound stupid to you experienced reborners but do i need a 19/20 inch body or a smaller one to make the whole baby up to 20 inch .

Tina W. · Guru

your welcome :) Yes i would get the 18-19 or if you want to make her bigger go with what Pat said the 20-21 inch body.

sara zata · Guru

The Body is classed as a 20" but it only measures, 9.5 inches top to bottom, leg caps about 3.5 length and accross, arms,3X3 inch in an unmade body pattern, so seams are usually 1/4 inch. If you add head leng, body length and leg length you should get 20 to 21 inch Baby, hope this helps. XXXXX You can order a body from Secrits or BB to suit so you can see what we mean. That way you will have an idea of the size of bodies required. XXXXX June.

thanks June for the explanation, if i got the other kit out with the body and measured it i would have relised, im such a numptie sometimes, hoping my little ones turn out ok.
i think i might go for the 19inch

Buffington · Guru

June sews bodies so good thing she came in to reply. :0

And you're not a numptie, just a newbie hehehe there is a difference :)

sara zata · Guru

I would go for a 20in ch body, there isn't that much difference, by the time you put the body beads and poly fill in it will take up the length... XXXXX June.

Buffington · Guru

Good idea June!
