Sculpt a Miniature Doll's Torso

Sculpt a Miniature Doll House Dolls Torso

A doll's torso will allow for various dress necklines but is very thin at the waist in order to allow for gathering other full fabric dress designs.

Although the simplest dollhouse dolls are constructed with no torso, there are times when you want to have an open necked dress or shirt on a doll, or need a doll with a particular neckline for a dolls house scene. It is fairly simple to construct a torso on an armature. This particular example shows a simple torso for a female doll. More detailing can be added if it will be viewed. Here the objective is to create a torso which will allow for several necklines, but which will not interfere with dressmaking techniques at the waistline.
