Restoring Connor (He's a girl now!)

Hello everyone, I have been kinda busy lately and I haven't gotten to post this yet.

I've had Connor for about 6 years when I got him for Christmas when I was 9. He was a Our Generation girl doll named Charlotte and I loved her so much, however, I didn't take very good care of her, more specifically of her hair. So the result was a horrible mess. About 3 years ago my mom restored my sister's doll, Sandy (who is now mine) and she also tried to restore Charlotte's hair. It wasn't as soft as it used to but she got most of the tangles out. Even at age 11, I still messed up her hair again. :sweat:

Around January of 2018, I started taking better care of my dolls. I got Charlotte out of storage but her hair was a mess, instead of fixing the hair with products and a good brush, I cut half of it off and made her a bit that always wears a hat to cover up the hair. 🤦

In May 2020, I finally decided to fix his/her hair. I kinda miss him being a boy but I also would rather have an 18 inch boy doll that doesn't have to wear a hat, lol. I wish I captured more of the progress but I guess it's kinda cool to see such a large difference. The moment you've been waiting for, here he (and now she) is:

To finish off the look, I decided to dress her in her original outfit. I'm going to post a photo shoot soon, so stay tuned for that! :grin:

I need a name for her so please comment name suggestions, I might keep her as Charlotte or I might change it if you guys have some good names. I'll just call her Charlotte for now.
