Hi Everyone! dollchitchat/smilie_help.gif

I am hopeing someone will have a "My Twinn" doll and can help me out here.

I have a very close friend who's birthday is soon and I know she would love an outfit for her "My Twinn" doll - thing is I REALLY need help in finding out some measurments, Can ANYONE HELP PLEASE? dollchitchat/bigthink.gif

I know she is 23" tall because I have just check it out on the internet, what it does not say is the chest measurment and an ideal length of dress from nape of neck to hem of dress and a sleeve measurment e.g. from shoulder to wrist.

I would love to surprise her for her Birthday especially as she is in hospital at the moment having just undergone a Hysterectomy. dollchitchat/getwell.gif dollchitchat/12kl.gif

This would really cheer her up, he Birthday is in early March - I need to get this outfit made and posted quickly in time for her Birthday. dollchitchat/gateauanniv2.gif

Can anyone please tell me these measurements so I can get on with it? I have material and sewingmachine at the ready! dollchitchat/praying.gif dollchitchat/praying.gif

Thanks Girls in anticipation of your replies. dollchitchat/bearthrowingkisses.gif

I believe the My Twinn Doll might be the same size as Lotte and Tinke. I dont have either anymore but when I bought some outfits on ebay they were for either those 2 or My Twinn dolls. I could be werong so maybe wait and see if anyone else actually has My Twinn dolls but thats what I remember at the time.

Hi Jan, Hope you are feeling better from that awfull cold you have? dollchitchat/getwell.gif

Thanks for the info, I have actually made an outfit for Lotta and Tinke but when it comes out it does look small, too small for a My Twinn I think, thats why I am looking for actual measurements you see. I could just send her this outfit and hope for the best, but as it's a special event/present I would love for it to be perfect - she is a old friend of mine back in the UK who used to buy my Reborn outfits from me (before I started making for Himmies) and she says the reborn outfits drown her, well they would would'nt they?

I sent her some pictures of Lotta and Tinke in their Christmas dresses and it's then she reminded me she had this Twinn Doll who she says she would love to get an outfit for. I have checked out Ebay and they are selling outfits in the USA for twinn Dolls but as I have material ready etc I want to make it a special treat.

Thanks again hun.

A Bientot!

Im sure whatever you make will be a wonderful outfit as they always are!

If you can wait to Monday, you could try contacting a manufacturer/retailer of the dolls, perhaps they can help?

Or, and this is a bit devious, you could email one of the ebay sellers to say you like the outfit but what size dolls does it fit other than My Twin, can they give you meausurements. Or just be honest with them, if you catch a nice one, they wont' mind helping you.

Good luck!

Thanks Lindilou - what good ideas you have given me, I'll be back!!

Cheers dollchitchat/pompomgirl.gif dollchitchat/pompomgirl.gif dollchitchat/pompomgirl.gif

Hello Jane! dollchitchat/confused0068.gif Gosh you are soooooo nice!! A Big THANK YOU! dollchitchat/pompomgirl.gif - i have been researching Ebay - trying to look at My Twinn dolls to guage what they will look like etc - but I have had to resort to BUYING one from America, she's on her way according to USPS website! yay! but will not arrive in time I fear! dollchitchat/32.gif

I really need these measurements like yesterday!!! I need to post off the two dresses I intend to make by this weekend. dollchitchat/smiley_runningred.gif Don't worry I can sew really fast when I want! lol! dollchitchat/2.gif

What I really, really need are the following:-

Can you measure around the neck for me please?
Can you please measure the arm-from shoulder to begining of vynl so I know how long I need to make the sleeves so I can cover up the soft body?
Can you please measure from nape of neck to back of knee?
Can you please measure chest and waist?
Can you lastly measure from the small of the back to where the leg vynl starts so that i can make pantalets/pantaloons?

Sorry to be a pain hun and I really, really appreciate all this for me - it's for a very special friend and I need to get it correct so that I won't spoil her Birthday.

Phew! I think that's it!

Cheers and thanks again dollchitchat/bearthrowingkisses.gif

Can you measure around the neck for me please?

7" - and the My Twinns have a white body, so its important that the neck be high enough to cover the white

Can you please measure the arm-from shoulder to begining of vynl so I know how long I need to make the sleeves so I can cover up the soft body?

4 1/4" (top of arm) 2 1/4" (underarm)

Can you please measure from nape of neck to back of knee?

12"

Can you please measure chest and waist?

Chest is 14 1/2", Waist is 13"

Can you lastly measure from the small of the back to where the leg vynl starts so that i can make pantalets/pantaloons?

7 3/4"

I hope that helps - let me know if you need any more measurements. I think you will enjoy your My Twinn when you get her, she really is a lovely doll. I had one made to resemble me when I was 6 yrs. old and just love her. Haven't had time to sew much for her other than some custom orders, but hope to get to her some day.
