My grand daughter primarily wanted the wheelchair although upon opening the gift she did put the cast on and there have been no complaints about it. She says it works "just great". -a very happy, positive 8 year old.

I tried it on our 18" American Girl doll and they fit. They do not fit on a bitty baby.

Elizabeth, first and foremost check out my review on this product. It may he under Samantha or Kittyhazeleyes. I am just trying to be honest with you. Please do not order this brace! Please. I have mine and its sitting in the box still, and I have had it for months. This back brace looks nothing like the picture!!! If I could add a picture of the brace I got from them you would see. It is awful. Plus I ordered a large, and they sent me an extra large!! The extra large was too tight! And I am almost 5'9" and 112 pounds! I am very skinny and tall. Look at the picture and notice how the straps clearly go right under her armpits? Well the real brace straps go into your armpits and folds over in half and actually cuts into your arm pit!! I cannot even wear it! It doesn't fit right at all. My daughter is 5'5" and same bra size as you, and she's 110 pounds. It doesn't fit her and she's 13, and remember its a size XL!!! I had her try it on too. The XL was too tight for her. Its not the waist part that doesn't fit, The picture dont show the front of the brace, it didn't go over your breasts, it sits under the breasts. I wrote a review on there about this product. I would not recommend this to anyone. I advise you try a different brace please. I hope this helps. But if you email me I will send you a picture of the brace and how it fits, so you can see!! My email is kittyhazeleyes@yahoo.com email me from your personal email and I will send you a pic. It is ridiculous the difference in the product shown, and the product received. Hope this helps. And please don't hesitate to email me. Thank you, samantha

I can't tell you for certain. It depends on a number of things. I suggest going to a medical supply store with the stockings and try it out in person, or if you order it, make sure that it can be returned if it doesn't work for you. It just was not helpful with my mother's issues. I tried to explain that it might work for some people, but it was not helpful in our case. Basically, you roll the stocking down the form and put your foot in, then pull up the coated wire device. I think it should work as well for open toe, but it didn't work for us regardless, so you will have to see if it's right for you. If lower legs are large it may be too tight. Maybe there's a larger size, but we only saw and tried this one. Good luck. It might help some people, but not us.

I don't know how large your doll is but they fit my granddaughters 18" Madam Alexander doll or an American Girl doll. I should measure her feet but don't have her here now.

I had foot surgery and was also in a cast. I bought the adult long leg. The others were too short. This one is extremely long - far too long so be careful not to step on the excess plastic. I hope you have better luck than I had. Mine developed 2 holes in the seam after using it for about 15 times.

I bought these for two different 18" dolls and they fit fine. I don't know about the doll in question. Sorry

I wish I could help you more...I was fitted by orthopedic doctor after my "boot" was removed from my hairline fracture/sprained ankle. I am a solid women's size 9 and they put me in a small. I ordered a 2nd one from amazon as a backup and to wash first one( hang dry) as I had to wear it all day for 8 weeks. It is a very good ankle wrap. I will still be using it for racquet sports. Hope this helps!

I honestly don't know. The bandage would not stay on my scar. My scar is up on the inside of my elbow so I don't know if it is the constant bending that won't allow it to stick? I am going to have to find something different as these are not working on the area I need them to. And, yes I keloid too.

They have a "regular size leg" and a "wide leg" protector in several lengths. I used the wide leg to go over a bandaged foot with surgical shoe on it. Some had complained that the regular leg ring wasn't wide enough to fit a cast or large bandaged foot through the ring, so I got the wide leg which has a larger plastic ring and had no problem with it. the rubber gasket will fit your leg snug on either to keep water out. It's the ring size that matters for what has to pass through it.

Not familiar with that doll, but I bought for American Girl 18 inch doll and they fit it very well.

It fits American Girl dolls but it came missing pieces for bottom trundle. I'm sure upi could have gotten them, I just didn't try, my daughter plays with it as is, she likes it a lot.

I know they are easier than the ted hose from the hospital. As long as your mother can put her socks on they should be fine depending on the circumference of her leg.

When I owned one this spring (check out my review in the product section) I went to the dollar store and grabbed 2 of those Velcro style stretchy bandage wraps (not sure what they're actually called) for a $1. They resemble the wraps that you get after you donate blood, that you're supposed to keep on for a couple of hours after you donate. They're stretchy, extremely comfortable and easy to use since it basically sticks onto itself. Plus they're washable/reusable. So I'd rotate between them and the armband. I'd use one while I wash and let the armband air dry overnight. They're only a buck a piece so I got 2 in case I forgot to wash the armband I'd have a spare to use. Just put the module where you normally wear it. Cover with the wrap and you're all set. Another bonus, people don't bug you with the same question over and over "What the hell is that on your arm?" . They just assume you sprained your arm/shoulder. :) It's a cheap alternative. I couldn't get myself to pay the ridiculous price the armband was going for on the GWF website. Hope that info helps someone. Cheers.

I used it for American girl doll clothes and they fit great. But it does not fit the doll inside like the authentic AG dresser.

There are many sizes depending if you are trying to treat a leg, or thigh, or arm , etc. Your medical professional should be specifying a size, although you could figure it out by going to the Tubigrip website.

The question cracks me up because here I am in a leg cast...anyway, back to how firm it is. It is just about perfect if you are looking to elevate legs in a cast, or if you have circulation issues. Would be great for people with varicose veins. There is minimal give; enough to put your legs on it and not have them roll, but enough firmness to make them remain elevated. I am a 5 foot 9 inch tall woman and it is just what I needed. I would not get w/out a cover as the material gets easily frayed. We had an old laundry bag and that worked perfectly as a cover so we didn't need to purchase one. The question cracks me up because here I am in a leg cast...anyway, back to how firm it is.

I believe there is a size chart where you can measure different parts of your leg to determine which size you need. They are very difficult to pull on, especially over the foot. Also, I am unable to wear pants with these because they create a bulge at the top. I purchased them for after care following leg vein treatment. Next time I will order full leg hosiery since I am really limited to long skirts while wearing these.
