DMAI Pro for Handmade dolls & toys
Doll and toy makers selling on Instagram: look-alike dolls from photos, crochet (amigurumi), felt and cloth dolls, collectible art dolls, puppets and wooden toys. Most orders are custom: the customer sends photos and picks skin tone, hair style and colour, outfit and accessories (glasses, hijab, uniform, team kit); the order joins a making queue and a final photo is sent for approval before shipping. The child's age and safety points (small parts, eyes, washing) must always be asked.

Each is answered from your own information.
How much is a look-alike doll?
How long does it take?
Will it look exactly like the photo?
Is it safe for a baby?
Can the eyes come off?
Is it washable?
