Leg length is a foundational aspect of a doll’s proportion and stance. Adjustments should prioritize proportional balance between torso, arms, and legs to achieve natural postures and comfortable posing. Start by assessing the doll’s intended use: static display emphasizes aesthetic proportion, while dynamic posing requires a flexible, stable build. If legs appear too long or short relative to the torso, consider proportionate scaling or repositionable joints that maintain strength without compromising safety. Anatomical accuracy matters in terms of hip alignment, knee bend, and ankle articulation. Proper knee and ankle geometry support a full range of motion and reduce strain on joints during repeated posing. Weight distribution should be considered to prevent tipping or stress in the feet and ankles; wider bases or supportive inserts can help maintain balance in various stances. Materials and finishes influence feel and look. Realistic skin tones, subtle shading, and correct sheen on the legs can enhance overall realism. When adjusting leg length, ensure future modifications remain reversible where possible, and document changes for future reference. With careful planning, leg length adjustments can enhance both aesthetics and ergonomic comfort for extended display or use.
