A peek at the making of the body pattern

In short, there isn't really one. I draw it on the cloth and sew on the lines for the legs and arms, especially around the fingers. I sum up the proportions for the body with each head using a basic formula of: height of the head = 8.5 sections of total body height. Kinda weird to explain, but
somehow it works... That would be for adults.

I have already made a basic
child's body which will be stuffed this week. Children, depending on their
age can have the formula of: height of the head = 3.5 - 6.5 of total body
height up until the age of 15 or so.

Geneva is also extra slim, because of how I am planning to dress her.

Confused yet? Relax, that's why I'm the dollmaker. Trust me...
