I watched “The Thin Man” the other night. If I ever get around to making a boudoir doll, I think I will use Myrna Loy as a model!
Boudoir dolls have interested me for a while so I’ve collected images from ebay here.
Great reference site- http://home.fuse.net/boudoirdoll/
so sad- when I went to my bookmarks to look at some other sites I’d marked a while ago, they are no longer there.
I never understood the concept of the boudoir doll and why/how it was different. I could probably recognize one, but don’t know why…hope you are feeling better!
Hey I am still here, hit reload now and then . But the site is still here thanks .

Thats so neat. Thats a really nice doll (like the painting and everything) and the pic of the flattened out cape really helped me since I’m in a sewing class at school and have to do a simple project of making my own pattern.
Ive just recently been bitten with the boudoir dollie bug,. I love her legs- long and stuffed with straw. I am sewing a pants outfit for her now. Does anyone know how to gain more information on the keeneye dolls origins? I have hunted around and found a stamp on her back that reads
“HKS” and learned that victor keeney is the creator of this brand. She has blue eyes with real human hair and applied lashes. Also for repairing bed dolls (I have about five one in near mint and the others need tlc) should i use composition builder for big cracks? Thanks”)”)
I have 15 boudior dolls, 7 kewpies and misc dolls and clothes I’d like to sell. Are you interested?
I just purchased a Keeneye doll at the thrift store today. I posted photos on my blog. What do you think? Im trying to find info about her. Thanks much, Darly Dolittle
I have just found amongst my mother’s belongings a Keeneye boudoir doll which I know dates back to the early 1915’s or so. Can anyone give me information about these dolls or point me to a website which will give me more info. Thanks.
