She’s beautiful! Love your choice of hair colour. Excellent job as usual! Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much!
I think it's wonderful that people, like you, give the dolls new life.
thank you :)
She is so cute. I have always liked Francie dolls.
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! Thank you for sharing what you do!!!
Francie is truly a gorgeous doll. Love the fact you gave her green eyes. Her brown eyes were beautiful too. I agree in that Francie is the beauty among the mattel dolls. I had a few of them. unfortunatley I sold them all. grrr. As always you do awesome work. hope you show your personal doll collection some time. Always fun to see other people's dolls.
She is a beauty among the mattel dolls and indeed my favorite : ) .. Thank you and I will show more of them soon enough :)
Beautiful hair and eye color choices!
Thank you so much!
She turned out just gorgeous--I'm loving your videos! I had that same Francie when I was a kid. Actually, there was a mix up at Christmas and I unwrapped 2 Francies--a blonde and a brunette.. I was so happy until they told me one was supposed to go to my sister, so I had to pick which one I was going to keep. It's been 55 years and I still have that memory of looking at both of them, back and forth, trying to make that painful decision!
Oh wow! I bet that was a hard choice! Thanks for sharing that.. I loved reading your reply :)
You made her look much better.
Thank you :)
The doll looks beautiful.
Thank you! :)
I love how her lashes turned out
Great job!! You make make me want to have a Francie now 😄
Go buy one!! You’ll be so happy you did! Francie is the most adorable doll ever 😊
Excelente trabajo; quedó hermosa; gracias por compartir; saludos.
I just won a Mod era European TNT Barbie with a Steffie face, her head is yellow so I am going to try the denture tablet in water to see if that can brighten her and then give her new long black hair and try to do the eyes green. The use of the grey instead of white is really interesting and I think I will try that as well. Thank you!
The grey is subtle.. almost gives off a vintage looking white color..
Estoy entusiasmada por haber descubierto tu canal. Haces unas restauraciones maravillosas. Tus muñecas quedan muy bellas. Te felicito. ❤️

LOVED IT!!
Thank you!!! 😍
This was Fantastic ! I was glued to the screen ! Amazing! I couldn't believe my eyes👀I loved this so much 🥰Thank you so much for this video 👍Have you any ideas on how to remove or re-do tan lines on old sun loving Barbie dolls? I won several and some are in bad shape and i am going to have to swap body parts. I am terrified ! I have never done any remakes before. When i stumbled upon this video i was just Blown away ! ☺Liked 👍and subscribed. I didn't even check out any of your other videos yet but i will for sure. I just knew you were a pro right away ! 🥰 Thanks again and have a Wonderful day ! 🌞🌞🌻🌻
Oh how super sweet to say!!!! I have removed the tan lines on those dolls before. I used 100% acetone nail polish remover. the trick is to keep at it.. keep switching out cotton balls.. once you removed all the tan lines your finish will be different then the rest of the body so you'll have to lightly hit the entire torso with the remover to make the finish the same. Hope this helps :)
Its good job, but I will love it more with long hair 😊❤
Thank you! I really appreciate these videos. I am currently rerooting a Julia doll, because I want one like you made! This hobby is so much fun.
You're very welcome! The hobby is crazy addicting! I love seeing how they each come out
She is such a pretty doll! Lovely restoration. I can't believe I never owned her.😞 I had Barbie, Midge & Skipper.
WOW! You are good. I have a question about the hair? Do you do anything to anchor the hair once it is applied? Some people knot each plug from inside which takes sooo much time, and others put some glue along the inside of the head so it remains intact when combing/styling? Thanks for a great video.
I apply glue in the inside.. although glue isn't necessary I do apply some to help me sleep better at night LOL.. here is a video on my channel that shows my technique: th-cam.com/video/TlIRfRlaGPY/w-d-xo.html
Another beautiful transformation, love your work!
Thank you so much! :)
I had a blonde bendable legs Francie.
She was my favorite Barbie. Even after my friend threw up on her! Lol
Lol nothing a little soap and water can’t cure! Lol.
What sealer do you use?
It's mr. clear and listed in the description under paint sealer :)
What hair do you use for the eyelashes? Color, type, site would be appreciated! Thank you.
I use both saran and nylon hair I buy from restoredoll.com or dollyhair.com both sell amazing hair and supplies
