SBAugust 3, 2023 at 12:25 AMI’ve been learning a lot about dolls recently. Knowing the suppressed history of Bild Lilli made me sympathetic 2 her. This one is gorgeous [the doll in the leading photo of this post] — perfectly painted & still looks like Lilli. Her kimono’s lovely too. Would love 2 C perfect reproductions of Lilli along with dark skinned versions.

Oh wow! Those zipper shirts are so cool. The hair on these is so well done, we have dolls with such a mess now! I like how the base was a stand too.
ReplyDeleteJulian Kalinowski's dolls seem to be beautiful reproductions of the original Bild Lilli doll. I have not seen one in person, but from online pictures, it appears a great amount of detail is included to capture the Bild Lilli look and essence. I always appreciate the use of authentic fabrics and other materials such as zippers, hooks and eyes, and snaps. Polyester and Velcro can never replicate original fashions that used real fabric and metal closures.
