This Mrs. Plum Series Doll is joined with strong elastic.
This gives her a greater range of motion and poseability.
She is able to stand on her own when needed.

 

 

The ability of arms and legs to move independently means
that she is able to chase after the agile Bittys
and keep an eye on the cookies in the oven at the same time.

 

 

She is signed with permanent ink on her back.

As a knitter, she has 'knitted' her own striped stockings.
They are topped with lacy garters.
Her durable boots have heavy 'silver' soles and buttons.

 

 

 

 

Her blouse is made of a very dainty lawn, trimmed with lace
at the neck and sleeves. Three tiny black buttons and a fawn ribbon adorn the front. All of her clothing has been tacked in place, and can be removed with no harm by snipping the threads at neck and waist. The skirt is a 100% cotton in black with fawn 'seeds'.

 

 

 

Since knitting is her hobby, she hand-knitted this shawl to
keep her shoulders warm during her travels to her new home.

 

 

 

Her knitting basket accompanies her everywhere.
Here she is shown working on a yellow scarf.

 

 

 

She also has a green hatbox in which her shawl and hat are stored
when not in use.

 

 

 

Her hand-crafted hat has been trimmed with feathers and a gold ring.

She is jointed with a heavy round elastic to allow for a greater range of mobility.

Her hat was hand-crafted by JGD, and her clothing is completely hand-made (machine sewn). Her shawl was knitted here at the
