Ratti doll Pusle

This Ratti doll is just stunning with her strong colours. 

And the way her hair is done is rare. None other dolls I`ve seen or own, has theese kind of bangs. The hair is short at the back, and long at the front.
I suppose she once was made as a souvenir doll. And that is because some of her outfit was glued on to the body. Her outfit looks like it is Dutch. And the dress was sewn on after it was putted on. Maybe there once was a hat too, but I do not have it.

She looked like this when I got her.

I have to wash up her dress later,and resew it, so it can be used again.

Here you can see where the bangs have been sewn on.

So I had to cut off the sewing on the dress, and give her a real bath. 

Look at her beautiful colours. 

Sadly there are some paint from the doll factory on one of her eyes. But I will not take it off. The paint is there to stay. 

And the hair is so shiny.

Here you can see how the hair is done.  Kind of strange way to cut the hair. The comb fastened by the roots of the hair, because of some stray hairs. And if someone has been combing it before, they have done it extremely gently.

I tried to comb the hair and put it up in different ways.

This is the top of her head.

The line goes exactely on the top. The other dolls I got, the hairline is on the right side of the head. 

The hair is dry and hanging loose. It does not fit the face.

The hair fastened  at the back. It did not match either. But it was better looking.

Pigtails. 

I am quite sure I`ve found out how the hair is supposed to be done. This looked right. Maybe she once was braided too.

So now it is time to show her off in full size.

She looks like Sophie, so it is her name for now on.
