Many collectors of reborn dolls do not take their reborns into public. However some do and say that they enjoy seeing strangers mistake their dolls as actual babies.

They are also widely advertised on social media. YouTube is home to a variety of Reborn collectors who share "unboxing videos" and home videos in the style of their reborns. The phenomenon has spawned an entire subculture around the hobby, with its own language and hashtag ("#rebornlife"). Plancarte took her reborn to the public and sat back as strangers mistakenly believed her as a baby.

Hair

Hair and eyelashes can give your doll a realistic appearance. You can choose to use synthetic hair yarn, fabric hair, or fabric for your dolls.

Mohair is another popular option for dolls since it appears like human hair and has more of a natural feel. It's a bit more difficult to put individual strands mohair into the scalp of your doll than other materials.

Weight

The size of a doll can affect how realistic it looks and how easy to handle. Some collectors prefer tiny and delicate infant dolls, whereas others prefer larger toddlers.

Vinyl is used to make the most realistic dolls. It's more durable and stronger than silicone, and it's also more easy to clean. They can also be weighted, which adds to the realism and makes them more enjoyable to hold.

Many makers add a "chestplate" (often referred to as a bellybutton) to the vinyl body to make it appear more real. This adds to the dimensions of the chest, which can help with fitting of clothing and also gives makers to stuff their arms and head as well as other components. It is important to only lightly fill these areas, so that the doll does not appear rigid or heavy. Many reborn doll makers will delay this step until later, after the arms and other components are attached.
