Meet the Dolls we have Restored in Lillianna's Fantasy Fashions

 

Since September of 2022, I have been working on restoring 18in dolls. To give an idea, I take a doll that is in need of a new home, bring them too my doll hospital, and then give them new life. What goes into to all that you may ask? Well, let me tell you how it all goes. 

 First, we take a look at the dolls that we get and then they each get a hospital gown and a Hospital Bracelet with a code as shown is this picture here. 


These are the codes of the Hospital Bracelets for the dolls. This is so each doll will be designed differently. From there, the doll then gets a form with the tests if their needs to be any fixes done to restore them for playful use again. Many may ask what tests need to be performed? Well, there several factors that need to be taken into place. For example, do the arms and legs move, if so that mean the doll can still be played with or are there any marks that need to be removed, if yes then they needs to be cleaned. 
Here is a copy of the form to help you understand: 

Within this form, we also decide what the doll's theme will be and also the restoration of dolls. We determine if we add earrings, nail polish, freckles, new hairstyles, and even something special like face sparkles. 
Here are some examples of the recent work we have done. 

This is Picnic Paige. She was my first restoration for the summer.  The Before took a bit of work to get through because she had marks on her feet and her hair was full of snarls. About 1hr later, she turned into a Picnic Page with her Cat Leo. She comes with some of the most fun items for summer having an entire picnic set. 



This is Camping Cameron. She had some goopy glitter glue on her face and her hair was very kinky and snarly as well. 1hr and a half later, we were able to make her into Camping Cameron. She is ready for an adventure. 


This is Traveling Tia. She wasn't as bad of shape, and I was able to get her in the process of making her ready for an upcoming Summer Vacation. 

The Last one that I got done currently was Princess Melody the Mermaid. She is my tea party princess doll. She came together so well as being one of the many Fantasy Dolls I have developed. 


So Far these dolls, have come together so well. Soon will be heading the shelves to Dreamers Gifts and Treasures in Janesville and also hitting the online store of Lampe Creative Impressions. 

Many of my other dolls include: 


This is Gia the Gymnastics Girl. She was one of my first dolls, that I had fully restored, and she will be one of the many Team USA girls that you will be seeing this summer. Whether it will be Local with Dreamers in Janesville, or upcoming catalog and online with our upcoming online store we are going to be opening. 




















 
Over time, I have done many other dolls for my 18-doll restorations.
Sarah Fin is my Swimming with Your Pup Doll. There is Jenna who is my Party Princess and Jasmine who is my Party Fairy Princess. Then there is Isabella Cupcake the Cooking with your Cat girl and Sabrina Galaxy the Sleepover with your pup girl. 

Within the Holidays, I have come with with some of the coolest dolls within my collection including the following: 
Emma Ornament the Elf Princess 

Clara Crystal the Snow Princess 

Kelsey Snow the Snow Tubing Girl
 
and 

Sami Icicle the Snow Day Girl. 


I have so many more girls, but these honestly were my favorites to design, because well they were my first designs, which made them the most fun. 

Some of these dolls you may be see them going Dreamers in Janesville, they also come to many of our events and they also will be coming soon to our catalog and online store. 

We hope you continue following our journey with our 18in doll brand.

 For a little more than 5 years, I have been designing my own 18in doll designs, its been a learning experience of what design works and what needs some tweak's to make the design work. The important thing to remember that I learned in college is to make sure the design was functional, fun, and will with stand many of adventures.   Here is a number of designs that I developed in the the year of 2024. I have a wide range of party outfits, costumes, pjs, and every day outfits. In Comparison to where I started in some of my original designs some of the ones I have done like my Playtime Outfits,  Mermaid Masquerade Costume, Sleepover Outfits, Team USA, Happy Glamping, Spa Day, Hula Girl, and Fun in the Sun Swim Suits, Holiday Outfits and the Enchanted Princess, its been a lot to develop. Here are some of my original Designs:  Enchanted Princess                                  ...

So for each doll design how do we determine what it will look like in the end.

 When in the process of designing my 18in doll sets before I restore the doll. I always try to make sure that the set is going to be something fun for the 18in doll. I want it to be something that when the girl sees it she will want to play with it on the doll but can also be used for other dolls that she may have as well.  In example when I designed my doll that is the Salon Doll:  Selena. It was  based on that she is a career doll, but she could also be the salon's customer that another doll in the girls selection was the salon's owner.  This was one of my most detailed sets I designed because no only can your girl style the dolls hair, but she can give her a spa day too within this set. because, within this set, your girl cannot only style the doll's hair but also give her a spa day. Also, the restored 18in doll can be either the hairstyler or the customer within this set with the outfit that she is wearing.  I wanted this set to be a more than one ...
