I take packaging very seriously. Each doll is packed in multiple layers of protection:

• Fragile parts are individually wrapped in bubble wrap
• The doll is firmly secured inside a rigid fiberboard box (available for bigger size dolls)
• That box is wrapped in another layer of bubble wrap
• Everything is placed into an outer cardboard shipping box

I photograph the packing process and send you photos before the package leaves my studio.
In 6 years of shipping internationally, no doll has arrived damaged.

The sculpted parts (head, hands, feet) are made from Flumo — a professional artist compound that allows extremely fine detail and produces a smooth, porcelain-like finish.
Flumo is: Durable and long-lasting (will not crack or fade under normal conditions), smooth to the touch, lightweight but solid. It is used by professional doll artists worldwide.
The body is soft, sewn from dense fabric and filled with fine quartz sand. This gives the doll a natural weight and the ability to sit steadily.
Arms and legs are half-soft, half-rigid, connected with metal springs — durable and reliable, unlike elastic cords. Hair is made from natural goat wool, hand-dyed to the desired shade. Costumes are made predominantly from linen.

My dolls are designed for display, not for play. You can reposition her, change her hairstyle, even change her outfit. But please handle her with care: the sculpted parts are fragile.
Care guidelines:

• Keep away from water (the material is not waterproof)
• Keep away from direct sunlight (to protect fabric colors)
• Avoid dropping or rough handling
• The hair can be carefully combed and restyled.
• The outfit can be removed and changed.
• Display on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. A doll stand is included (except for small pieces).

Cleaning:

• Dust gently with a soft brush
• Do not wash or submerge in water
• Costume can be gently spot-cleaned if needed

With normal care, your doll will remain beautiful for many-many years.

At this time I don't take custom orders. Each doll is born from my own imagination — I find that the best results come when I follow my own vision from start to finish.
If you're looking for something special, keep an eye on my Gallery and Instagram — new dolls appear several times a year, and each one is unique.

I announce every new doll on my Instagram first: @ivdolls.by
Follow me there to see new dolls as they're completed. Available dolls are also always marked in the Gallery on this website.
I create 6–10 new dolls per year. Each one is unique and once sold, will never be repeated.

Because each doll is a one-of-a-kind artwork, I do not offer returns or exchanges.
However, I want you to be completely happy with your purchase.
Before you commit:

• I will send you detailed photos and video of the doll upon request.
• I will answer every question honestly.
• There is no pressure to buy until you feel certain.
