This is 'Boston'. A beloved baby doll whose arms are coming off.
One arm had been sewn back on using a colourful ribbon. That works but this style of arm should get secured to the body from inside.
So, off with her head.
This reveals that she is filled with chipped foam stuffing. This should get replaced by new polyester stuffing as foam does nasty stuff as it ages.
This foam was starting to degenerate and had become quite powdery.
Her body fabric is very sturdy and has no rips so it will get used again once it has had a cleaning.
Here is one way of installing the arms.
A cable tie inside the body secures the body fabric into the groove of the upper arm. The cable tie end will get trimmed.
Both arms are installed with cable ties, she gets stuffed and then her head is secured by another cable tie.
She is ready to go home.
