French and German Fashion Dolls
French fashion dolls are types of antique dolls created in the 19th century. They are designed to display the latest fashions of the day. However, they are more than just mere models of fashion. They are made to teach young ladies and prepare them for womanhood. Today, they remain admired for their detailed clothing and accessories. They are adorned with complete trousseaus, from nightgowns to opera glasses, to evening gowns.
These dolls are made of bisque heads, glass eyes and leather bodies. The earliest French dolls have glazed-porcelain heads and multi-jointed wood bodies. They were also made from other materials such as gutta percha, brown leather and cloth. Some of them had painted eyes while those that have glass eyes are more preferred.
What makes French fashion dolls so distinct from other types of dolls is that they are the very first dolls that focused on accessories. They are lavishly decorated, because they are designed as replica for young girls who are expected to grow into graceful women. They were a reflection of a lady's style and taste.
The accessories of French fashion dolls did not just feature doll clothes for 18 inch dolls. They also included certain amusements such as games, photo booklets, and sewing tools such as a pair of scissors, lace bobbins and threads. Grooming essentials were also a fashion staple. They come with perfume bottles, ivory-handled toothbrushes and ivory brushes and combs. They are also embellished with jewelries such as necklace and earrings. Other jewelries include religious crosses and pocket-watches. They also come with furniture like desks, tables, chairs and wardrobes.
On the other hand, German bisque dolls are not only dressed with doll clothes for 18 inch dolls but are also accessorized with stylist hats, gloves, shoes, purses. They even came with toilette sets and china dish. Just like the French dolls, they also had some furniture such as vanity tables.
Modern dolls with doll clothes for 18 inch dolls today are inspired by French fashion dolls. They have adult figures and wear elaborate clothes and accessories. Doll accessories include purses, shoes, hats and underwear. For instance, baby dolls focus on doll accessories that are designed to help the child care for them in much the same way French dolls taught young ladies to be proper and graceful women.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Can you change a Zapf Baby Born doll eyes?
I have the older model and the eyes have gone pink (looks not so good). I want to change the color by replacing the eyes with some acrylic doll eyes you can buy. Has anyone done this before? Any idea about shape of eyes (oval or round) and size (mine measure 18mm across but do i need to get something bigger?)
Answer:
I used to be the American repair person for zapf dolls but they moved everything back to Germany, you can write and ask them to send you some replacement sleep eyes. you have to take the head off and cute the back of the socket inside the head and pop the eyes out. then put in a new pair. Or you can go to the thrift store find a doll with the same size and shape eyes then harvest those eyes, and put them in your doll. or
I have had great success painting over the older eye with acrylics paints using very fine brushes using many colors. Then for the last step i used Golden high gloss sealer, they turn out wonderfully.
hope this will help you some
