Dauphine is made by Irina E. in a project that she calls the Milana mold. When the project started, I happened to hear about it and became enthusiastic immediately. The first doll was set for sale on ebay. I placed bids to support the project, but I thought of saving for the doll first and didn't go beyond my budget, so it was a surprise to me that I won the auction. Now I'm the lucky owner of #1. In the meantime, #2 has been sold to Belgium. The doll passport mentions a number of 15 in the project.
When I introduced this doll for the first time here, there was some misunderstanding about the mold. Some people assumed that the Milana head is a copy of the Gabriella head by Reva Schick. It seemed unlikely to me, for Irina didn't have to copy somebody else's work; she designed a head for the Anatomical Doll brand (which I know for years, for that led me to the Milana project). But I wasn't able to check the accusations. It became clear to me when I had e-mail contact with the owner of Milana #2, who owns a Gabriella head too, and told me that the Milana head is no copy. When I asked Irina herself, she answered that she owns a Reva Schick kit, bought for her daughter, but didn't like the vinyl, and replaced it by a remake in silicone. But that was before the Milana project started, the Milana head is her own design, and there wasn't even an Gabriella head in the kit that she bought; it was a different head. So the accusations were made out of hearsay, passed on out of laziness.
The Milana dolls are full-silicone toddler girls; I would tell the age 4 years. They aren't scaled down; a doll is 102 cm (40") tall if it stands. Standing is only possible with the doll stand that comes with the doll. The doll has a moveable skeleton, which could have made standing possible, but the skeleton doesn't run to the soles of the feet, which would make them ugly. The soles are silicone, which will be damaged if the doll is put on the feet. I feel that the right choice has been made.
A full-silicone toddler doll is rare but not unique; a Chinese manufacturer made one for a short time, but with an inferior skeleton. The Milana doll is made unique by the care for details that Irina spent on it. She made the doll like a reborn baby, anatomically correct (but not overdone), with veins here and there and implanted hair.
Pictures now.
I bought a stroller for her. Dauphine has almost but not yet grown out of it; the sun cap still works. Only the foot beam has been made for a smaller child; she needs a pillow under her calves. I made a pillow out of the winter bag that came with the stroller.
And two details. The pin is created to hang the doll on the stand. It is screwed into the skeleton and can be screwed out, but in the stroller I leave it there. She actually hangs like she hangs on the stand, so I can leave her in the stroller for a longer time without stressing the soft silicone she is sitting on.
The last picture shows the veins, I hope.
Those who want to take a baby in their arms, must know that this doll doesn't want that. Most living toddlers still have fun being carried like that, and Dauphine is lighter (11 kg), but her head is attached with a magnet. The magnet snap is very convenient when dressing the doll, for you can put a shirt on only with the head taken off. But if I take her in both arms and walk along, her head is tilted backward by gravity, so that the magnet cannot keep it any more. I was aware of it and luckily it never happened that the head fell off. But I don't take the risk anymore. Unfortunately, the same can happen when I take her with me in the stroller on rough footpaths, because tossing of the stroller causes tilting of her head too.
Those who like hairdressing: don't practice with this doll. The hair is implanted; if one breaks, it's lost. Irina doesn't advise combing the hair unnecessarily. That's why I made the braid; actually Irina made already one on my request.
I mentioned clothing. That's funshopping. Normal children's clothes: affordable, cute, and a great choice. Dauphine's shoulders fit European size 110 or 104-110 but not smaller. Her hips fit size 98 or 98-104 but not larger. Her shoes have size 26 but she has typical children's feet; a lot of shoes are too long and too narrow. With care, her silicone feet can be put in those narrow shoes.
See you later,

She is beautiful, Hans!
