I would love one of those, it is so real. I have sold most of my dolls but have several babies that I have kept. That is odd for me to do, I never liked baby dolls, but there were 3 or 4 I could not resist. I took a newborn doll to an aunt's 80 birthday and people thought I had a real baby.

Hi Vala55, No, he is a vinyl doll. Years ago when this craft first started, they were made out of play dolls who were then taken apart, paint removed, hair added, ect...And completely redone..that's why they called them reborns. Now there are doll kits specifically made for this, but we still call them reborns.

Did you try to google premi cothes. If you got one dress pattern you could adjust it to make a gown.

I didn't mean to give anyone the willies, nightmares or creep them out. I just wanted to show my work. :-) The people who collect do so for their own reasons. Mostly, just because they fall in love with a face or maybe one will resemble a baby from their past. Or maybe, they just think it's cute. There are lots of reasons.
