Sculpt a Miniature Doll's Torso

A doll's torso allows various dress necklines but does not extend to the waist to allow fabric room.
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 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. 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.
