Somewhat Derp Question.

How does one measure a dollieh's head for a wig? Any help is appreciated, forgive the somewhat dumbness of the question...

It's done by the head's diameter in inches. :3

You can either use a piece of string and wrap it around the head or a flexible tape measure.

Take a tape measure, put it on the forehead above the eyebrows and wrap it all the way around the back of the head and back to the front.

The average proportioned 1/6 scale doll will wear a size 3-4 wig. Obistu, Volks, Barbie, and quite a number of tinies take this size. Liv wigs are bigger than this. Blythe wears more of a 9-10.

I found this online: Head Measurement Chart So handy!

Thanks to all of you for the help. It's the one thing I haven't tried with a small doll yet (fitting a wig) XD
