I went to the hardware store and bought some dowels, some brass tubing, and brass rods.  I quickly decided the dowels were too stiff looking.  The brass rod and tubing is more fun to work with.  The brass rod fits tightly into the brass tube.  I cut a small piece of the tubing- about 1 1\/2&#8243;-  and pushed it into the casing to the shoulder point.  I put a rod up the casing, one from each side.  The rods can slip into and out of the tube, so that the cape will be held out or down.  Now I need to figure out a way to keep the tube in place and make an attachment so that the doll&#8217;s hands hold the edge of the cape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t make dolls that are posable, but I want to be able to display this doll with her arms up, showing her cape out-stretched.
