Wig Size for Bitty Baby

[Kathy Henning]

I am thinking of ordering two Asian Bitty Babies and making them into Bitty Twins. I would need to wig them so that one was a boy and one a girl. What size wig do the Bitty Babies or Twins need? I don't have this size doll yet!

I am just moving this back to the first page so that maybe someone will know the size and I can order the wigs and the dolls with the code.

There is a wig sale at one of the suppliers and I would like to order them while they are on sale. I could also use the code to save on the dolls. I have been thinking of doing this for over a year. I kept hoping that AG would bring them out.

Kathy, it's super easy to figure out. I wigged a Bitty and think they look so much better with hair! All you have to do is take a tape measure and measure the circumference of the scalp *you* personally want to cover. You can see my Bitty with a wig here:

That measurement, in inches, is the wig size. It's so easy to do! [img]smile.gif[/img]

My one recommendation is that if you want it to look real, you might want to get a wig marked "whispy" or "newborn." I got one for "infant," and it is much too full for a newborn like Bitty.

Good luck . . . let us know your results!

Hi Melissa,
The problem is I don't have the Bitty Babies yet. I wanted to order both the wigs and the dolls at one time. I have measured the 18 inch dolls for wigs. I have no idea what size the Bitty Baby's head is. Audrey's is having a sale on Global wigs, I would have to add to my order to reach the $25 minimum so I guess that I will add to my 60 some wigs for the bigger dolls. I don't glue them on.

Melissa,
Your Bitty Baby looks so cute. I can just see my Asian twins. They will be so sweet.

Kathy, I'm sorry I didn't keep the number I used! I think I might have posted it here, but it was so long ago that it may no longer exist. I'll do a search to check.

Kathy,

I couldn't find any information from me, but this thread might help (measurements are from another member):

Yep, I posted tha a long time ago:

I measured a regular Bitty Baby according to these directions: http://www.welovedolls.com/cgi-bin/m...egory_Code=MDW And it appears to be exactly 12 and 1/2 ".

Hope this helps
