Alternative Ragdolls

Altdolls is a tumblr (and soon to be etsy shop!) dedicated to these lovely handmade dolls, designed in the style of various alternative fashions, such as goth, steampunk and Lolita. The idea came to me when I found myself searching for a little Lolita companion that wouldn't cost me over £100. When I couldn't find one, I thought why not make my own? Each one is lovingly hand-crafted and given their own name and identity. I'll be adding to this more and more throughout the summer so stick around to see what's to come!

Thanks for patience all! I've started university again so been making sure I stay on top of things for my final year. I'm happy to say that this little woodland sprite will (probably) be the first addition to my etsy shop! Fingers crossed she comes out ok! I really don't want to sell anything that I wouldn't be happy to receive myself so I want to make sure the quality is good - so if there's ever inactivity I'm just practicing is all. As a heads up Christmas time/Halloween will be coming round the corner soon, so fingers crossed there'll be some exciting things up for them!

Hey guys! Thanks for the patience. I know this is a little bare right now, so I wanted to give you a little sneak peak of what I've been working on (only a peak though). This little lady will be the first doll I show on here, and she's of the steampunk variety! Including ruffled shirt, Victorian-inspired full skirt and badass knee high grey leather boots. Stick around to see more of her and other cool things to come!

If you've stumbled across here and think it looks a bit bare, don't rush off too quickly! It'll be updated shortly with adorable dolls!
