[QUOTE="judy, post: 3915881, member: 965"]In my encyclopedia of dolls, althought not a large chapter, the wax dolls pictured are in wonderful condition, with wonderful detail to face and body. As Johnny said, wax is affected by temperature, and yours could have suffered too much heat which could alter features. I would not think the clothing on your doll to be in fine condition. While the back looks to be in better condition, issues of deterioration show at the shoulder. In the doll world, clothes made of antique silk showing wear/tears was referred to as "melting".[/QUOTE]
