Modular

Modular Dolls are constructed with standardised units or dimensions allowing flexibility and variety of use.

In this way you can mix and match elements from different compatible patterns using, for example, the simple pancake body and leg designs from one pattern, with the more sophisticated fingered hands of another and the complex profile/gusseted head from another.

Such versatile patterns can be found in Patti Medaris Culea's excellent books.
