A few of you may know how much I have wanted one of these beautiful ponies for and she is everything I hoped for and more. She is so soft and her fluffiness has a lovely silky feel it it, she feels absolutely beautiful. The seller wasn't a collector but the incision she made to destuff her is so tiny and neat you would think she did this everyday. I paid a grand total of £130 for her, that includes customs fees and postage costs- and she herself was only £60!

I'm so grateful that I could finally own her, I'll be restuffing her very soon  so if you can offer any advice in regards to that I would be very happy to hear it

Congrats - that is awesome! Since you'll be restuffing her, have you thought about maybe adding some kind of internal supports? I know some people have put dowels or even cardboard tubed in the legs to help their giant plushies stay standing tall.

I'm planning on weighting her feet and using cardboard or pvc tubing in her legs for supports

Congrats!

I have this pretty girl to and she is not standing on her own. I also have two that I filled up and one that is flat like yours right now. But anyways, PVC pips are going to be what I am going to use. Your going to want to but some fabric at the ends of them and tape it on good. And when you are filling her back up make sure there is stuffing at the bottom of her feet so the tube is not pushing on the skin. Try to make it so you cant feel the tube if you push on her lightly. I over stuffed mine to make them a little more sturdy. You can put her in the wash to. But do it on gentle cycle. I put mine in one of the sock bags with the zipper. But when I drying her I also did it on gentle to. Don't want it to get to hot and melt the hair. I have had lots of good luck with washing them. Also check to see if there are any seams that need to be fixed and that her symbol looking good with no weak spots in the fabric.
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me. I have fill four of them already and working on my fifth one. I might then take my Frilly apart to fix her. They sure are fun to have

Thanks so much for the advice.

How big do the pvc pipes need to be?

[achab1984]

The leg polls were 23 or 24 inches long. I am going to get a pipe at Menard's but will have to get it cut.
