“A ready-to-go hairstyle, so that you don’t have to bother with your doll’s hair in the morning and only your own!”
Doll wig – wool (early 2000s)
This homemade wig from World 203 created to make it easier for the owner to style their lookalike doll faster. Having two or more hairstyles ready before the start of the week saved time in the morning before starting their day.
In World 203 it’s possible to buy ready-made doll wigs, but the owner of these wigs found it cheaper and more fun to make their own because they change their hairstyle regularly.
Styled with miniature crochet scarf custom-made to fit a doll using fine thread and a 1.1 mm size crochet hook.

Does this World remind you of something?
I am keen to hear about any historical or contemporary real-world examples – whether individual practices, subcultures or mainstream activities – that this fiction brings to mind.
Please share any such examples using this form. Thank you!
