I've never had a hard plastic that I couldn't clean with a little soap and water. You might try some damp soda, try it on the back to see if it is safe. shoes and sock should be available at dolls shops. I don't know about the styles. I would think Alice in Wonderland would just have ordinary synthetic doll socks unless she is very old.

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.

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.

About 20 years ago my granddaughter's other grandma sent a picture of her into some company that makes those dolls. It scared my granddaughter and she has not liked dolls since.Recently when they moved,they had to take the doll out of the attic and it's eyes had turned purple and it really freaked my granddaughter out.She didn't even want the doll brought to the new home. I love dolls and offered to take it,but my daughter wanted to keep it. I think they are beautiful when they are so lifelike.

Why is it called a "reborn"?

Is the doll porcelain?

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.
