The Golly Girls are usually dressed in Victorian or Edwardian style clothes,often vintage baby garments or dolls clothes, possibly altered to fit. Failing that, they are constructed with vintage material of pure cotton, wool, silk or lace.

Each Golly Girl stands approximately 21" tall and is free standing with no need for doll stands. They are jointed in the traditional old fashioned way with cotterpin joints, just like the bears and are made from a faux suede effect material.Their heads are made from mohair  with the facial area carefully clipped away to reveal their beautiful Art Decco /Neauvoux button eyes.Their bodies are filled with polypellets to give them that scrunchy tactile feel.

The victorian style boots are made from a faux leather or suede material  and are incorporated into the leg pattern so that they can never be removed or get lost.Then vintage button are added along with the "Rippingale Gollies for serious collectors" label which is sewn onto the sole of the boot.

The Golly Girls often come with a "play thing" such as a rag doll, hobby horse, skipping rope or bear and each Golly is a one of a kind creation, each piece is entirely different from the next making then unique.

So if collecting Gollies is your vice, then please feel free to join my mailing list for new creations as and when they are made available for sale.
