What we do
Dolls given a New Life
1/12th scale dressed Dolls. I take second hand and unloved dolls and redress them for a new life.
Doll Styles
Dolls are redressed in Period Costume from Roman to the 20th Century .
Pre Loved Dolls House Furniture
We have arrange of 1/12th, 1/16 and 1/24 scale second furniture in good condition which we sell at the Dolls House Fairs.
Trading
We only sell our refurbished dolls and furniture at the shows we attend, please see the Show listings for the dolls house shows that we will be attending over the next 12 months.
Redress, Refurbish, Reuse
With this in mind, our objective is to Save 1/12th scale dolls from being discarded in the rubbish by refurbishing and reusing and giving them a New life.
I have been making 1/12th scale period figures on a part time basis, for about 10 years.
I am now making on a full-time basis and traveling to various shows around the country.
Most of the figures are second hand that I have stripped back to their foundations to rebuild and refurbish.
I then dress the figure in period costume and re do the hair.
There are Lords and Ladies, Soldiers Servants, Villagers, Children and Peasants from Roman Period to 20th Century.

Request for Help
Email- Dressed_by_elle@btinternet.comHello, hope you are keeping well. I am reaching out to my customer hoping you could help me. As you know, I buy second hand dolls recycle and redress them so they can go on to a new life, rather than add to our rubbish tips. But I have a slight problem with supplies… I am looking for pre loved dolls, past their best or falling apart. Particularly Older Ladies. If you think you may be able to help, please contact me on the email above. Many Thanks Regards Elle.
Information Request
We would love for you to send us photos of the dolls we have sold, in their new homes if possible, to display on the website. Thank you. Please send photos to dressed_by_elle@btinternet.com
