Where are Brenda Mize Dolls made?

Brenda Mize Dolls are hand-crafted in the USA, and are all made from 100% porcelain. Brenda also does face-ups on vinyl dolls.

Would you make a custom or special request doll?

Yes, please contact me at brenda@brendamizedolls.com to discuss your custom doll. I require a 25% deposit before proceeding with the creation of your doll.

What do you charge for shipping?

Shipping is always free of charge and in most instances, your doll will ship out via USPS Mail.

How does my Brenda Mize Doll arrive?

Each doll is packed using double boxes with lots of bubble wrap to protect the doll. The interior box is suitable for gift giving.

What if my doll arrives damaged?

If for some reason your Brenda Mize doll arrives damaged, please email me at brenda@brendamizedolls.com when you discover the damage. I will then immediately either email you or mail you a USPS return shipping label. (The USPS can be contacted to make a pick-up from your location.) Upon your doll’s return I will repair the damaged part, restring her, and ship her back to you once again. (Of course, there is no charge whatsoever for this process.)

What is your return policy?

Due to the hand-crafted nature of Brenda Mize Dolls, returns are not allowed.

Do you offer layaways?

If you are interested in putting an Brenda Mize Doll on layaway, please email me at brenda@brendamizedolls.comand we can discuss some layaway options tailored to your needs.

Why are some dolls priced differently?

Some Brenda Mize Dolls are priced a bit higher and this could be for one of the following reasons:

  1. their outfit took many more hours to create (and is usually a replica of a DOLLS Award of Excellence Award winner);

  2. their wig is either mohair or is a special more expensive wig;

  3. their outfit has been purchased from Boneka Traditions and the cost is considerably higher than if Brenda sews their outfit.

What size doll wig do Brenda Mize Dolls and Boneka Effner Dolls wear?

All 11-inch Brenda Mize Dolls wear a size 6-7 doll wig (the same size as Boneka Effner dolls).

How are Brenda Mize Doll wigs attached?

Each Brenda Mize dolls’ wig has a tiny bit of glue both in the center front of the doll’s head as well as the center back of the doll’s head. The wigs can be removed quite easily with care.

Do Brenda Mize Dolls have a silicone cap?

Each doll has a pate attached to the crown of her head (and not a silicone cap). Due to the nature of porcelain and because each doll is hand-strung, this is the most practical way.
