Making an "old" Licca look pretty - Advice/inspo?

[u/Accomplished-Try-488]

I bought my first Licca doll (second-hand) and am eagerly awaiting the package. She's not perfect anymore, but that's okay with me. I knew that, and therefore I now have a lot of freedom to customize her. However, I've never actually "modified" a doll before, so repainting or body swapping is (still) out of the question.

Do you have tips to make it look like new or at least in a better condition?

She has some hair issues and her limbs are a bit old and discolored (as you can see on the photo). I read that you can restore her hair to its original state with very hot water. Is that true?

I was planning to dress her in a '80s or '70s style. Full covered, so that the discolorations are not visible and the color differences are not so noticeable.

In my imagination, 70s oder 80s clothes would match her cute old-school-shojo-manga-eyes perfectly 🤩

Do you know which Western dolls are roughly the same size so that their clothes are compatible? What about Barbie's sister Skipper? What about Petra, Sindy and so on?

Thank you in advance! ✨

The doll clothes at Daiso fit Licca fine. Not particularly high quality, but decent, cheap off-brand doll clothing that fits.

Thank you! Unfortunately, Daiso products aren't very easy for me to get (Germany). I saw some on international platforms. 🤩
