Rohmer Dolls: A Bisque and a China

18″ Leontine Rohmer doll, 1858. (Photo Source: Theriaults) This is how she arrived, and she looks a little cranky. Notice, that as her wardrobe increases and is more flattering, she appears to be more content and pleased.

This is an antique Civil War era original dress. When it arrived, the bodice was ill-fitting. While the skirt was the right length, the bodice was too big for her waist. Carefully taking it apart, it was remade to fit her.

This dress had its inspiration in a picture from Pinterest. The fabric is antique and both the plaid and the solid were from unused material. Notice the inspiration picture. (Source: Pinterest)
