Boost restores the original fabric's body. With many vintage clothes I only finger press as they dry and no need to use an iron. This product was formulated by a chemist whose wife was a doll collector. I am so glad that Dollspart continued to manufacture this product.
Christopher did such a nice job with her...and she is soooo gorgeous!
Thank you! I am thrilled with how she turned out, she is such a beauty! ❤️
I love this Rachel and Christopher! Dolls are such an important part of our history and they tell us so much! Beautifully done!❤💗❤
Thank you so much for your kind words, it is most appreciated. ❤️
@@RachelHoffmanDollsYou're so welcome. 🥰
Great work Christopher!
Much appreciated!
Yay! I love your antique doll tutorials and bringing these beauties back to their rightful glory! Great job Rachel and Christopher ❤
Thank you so much!
I love seeing doll repairs! It's so satisfying to see a well-loved doll get a spa treatment and restore them to their glory.
I personally have a lot of love for composition dolls, and recently got a couple that need some repairs. One just some minor repairs but the other needs some fairly major work. Your comment about reading a repair book tickled me, because I spent very little on the dolls, but then bought an expensive (because it's out of print) book on how to repair them. I definitely found the situation amusing to spend more on the book than the dolls combined. Thankfully, the book is specific to compo, and has all the info I was frustrated at not finding in other repair books, so no regrets about it.
Christopher did a fabulous job. Love watching behind the scenes. This doll is on my wish list. ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi All I could say is so Beautiful Beautiful Doll Beautiful job and detail exquisite I enjoy all your dolls videos Godbless you all😊😊❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much 🤗
Thank you for sharing some of your cleaning tips. I learned some new things that I didn't know before. The doll turned out beautifully!
Glad it was helpful!
I have those same yellow shop towels from Costco. Use them all the time.
I love the idea of bringing a doll back to her original beauty, really enjoyed this video.
Thank you so much!
Well done! Love the hat, purse and brooch! Dragees on the icing!
Yes! Thank you!
Рашель ,благодсрю за интересное и полезное видео❤Спасибо Кристоферу за рассказ о дополнительных инструментах🎉для глажки текстиля для антик. Кукол
I would love to fix old dolls for a living 😭
Great job, beautiful doll👍❤😀
I LOVE the hat!!!!
Me too! She came out so pretty.
How lovely! I believe the corset cover should button at the front
Buen equipo y buen trabajo 😊
This doll it´s stunning!! and Christopher did an amazing job revitalizing her,well done! 👏👏👏
The top ( 29:38 ) it´s actually a "Chemise" and it would´ve worn under the corset,to prevent bruising and stainning in the corset.That's why it is not flush against the body ☺
Fun fact: Undergarments were the first mass manufactered pieces of clothing cause those garments would be washed daily;usually made out of white cotton,transpirable and able to be sun bleached (sun kills a lot of bacteria!).
Exterior clothing on the other hand wouldn't even be washed normally,it was made out of materials like silks or wool that can´t be washed.That´s why all those lawers existed,to prevent stainning and bodily hodours in the "good" garments and give the right shape to support them.
I´m amazed how much my fashion classes and interest in historic fashion can be tied to dolls 🤣🤣
Rachel, WOW, I so agree that just cleaning the antique under skirts make them look MUCH BETTER😃😃💖💖💖💖💖!!! And I so LOVE the eyelet details with the leaf design on the underskirt💖💖💖💖💖!! And I so LOVE how Christopher fixed up her dress and I so agree with you Rachel that the orange in the feathers🪶🪶🧡🧡🧡 on the front is the best way for this doll to wear her hat👒🪶🧡!!!! I so LOVE this Jumeau's coral colored broach too💖💖💖💖💖!!! Rachel, although I so miss seeing Linda's talents, Christopher is very artistic and talented too and he did well in fixing up this Jumeau doll's arms and clothing!! It is amazing that this Jumeau Doll is 154 years old😃😲 and she looks amazing💯💯💯💯💯!!!! And I was wondering, do you think that an antique doll's clothing that is made from cotton could be put in a washing machine on a handwash setting or a delicate setting using All Free and Clear Detergent🤔🤔?? I know my Late Dad had a Brick and Mortar Fabric Store and my Late Dad would say to NEVER use bleach on such antique clothing because bleach would weaken the materials!! Rachel and Christopher, thank you so much for this very educational and fun video on how you fixed and cleaned up this beautiful Jumeau's clothing!! And I so LOVE her purse too😃😃💖💖💖💖💖!!!!
Hello Rachel, Christopher & Paul. You three have made a great team. Christopher, you make the ironing look almost enjoyable 😂 It is so nice to see behind the scenes. Keep doing what you love. Jane in New Zealand 🇬🇧🇳🇿

I would love tio see tou reatore an antuque beide dill with riyching, silk, beads...i titally enjoyed this video, thank you....
Thank you so much for filming these tutorial videos. I'm going to make my very first attempt to clean the clothes and doll I recently acquired from an estate sale. I have a question about the hair. The gentleman said he used a detangler, is there a certain brand I should use to fix the hair. It's pretty hoarse and bunched up of tangles. Was told it's a 1948 Horseman doll. Should I peel off the entire wig?
The clothes don't disintegrate when they get wet?
No, the undergarments are made out of cotton. The top silk would have disintegrated if we got it wet for sure, but we did a dry preservation on that part.
Georgious doll❤ Christopher did a wonderful job 👍👍
I think that doll looks grateful that y’all have fixed her up so beautifully.
Hi Rachel,
I just bought a 29" Tete Jumeau. She's very chunky. I'm having a hard time finding a stand for her. Most of what's available are for fashion dolls. For a doll such as this, what do you recommend? Is there a Kaiser (3701) stand that would work? I got one in the mail today and it didn't work, not even close. I would appreciate some help on this.
Thank you
I've been using Restoration powder on antique clothes for 10 years w great success.and eucalan for wool flannel and silk
Great tip!
And a big jar of restoration powder is less expensive than the other product...
After the rinse a gentle squueze, i lay them flat on a towel and roll them. Overnight takes most of the water out then iron...
We will have to give it a shot! We do love these products - we have been using them for many years.
