Gabby is my second doll. She is the same type of doll as Lola, a Volks
Dollfie, but with the tan skin and smaller chest. and very pale blond
hair. The store said it was white... But she's done quite well with
the hair she has.
I bought Gabby for 2 reasons. 1. I really liked Lola and didn't want
her to be lonely. 2. I realized Volks isn't making any more of them, so
I panicked and bought one after realizing many were going out of
stock. She's been a joy from the start! She never got the horrible
face-ups that Lola had to deal with in her early days, but she did
undergo hair rooting so she could have pigtails without big bald spots
on the back of her head. Hair rooting is all fine and dandy for repair
or details, but man, no fun doing a whole head! It was worth it. She
has adorable pigtails. She's the only doll I've given a haircut. Her
hair used to be as long as Lola's.
I have fun making clothes for Gabby, because her color palette is
outside my comfort zone. Yellows and greens in various textures. She's
a fun doll, fun to pose, and seems to enjoy it. I bet if she could,
she'd run around. I'm glad she can't...
She and Lola look as different as that size Dollfie can get, which makes
it more fun and interesting to dress them up. They do NOT share
clothes at all. Lola wouldn't be caught dead in what Gabby wears half
the time, and won't let Gabby put her clothes on. After making a very
fancy dress for Lola, I made an outfit for Gabby with lace on it too.
It looked very different, like the same category, but more for their
individual style. It's amazing what you can make look good with lace.
Her birthday (purchase date) is August 20th, 2010.
