I have a DZ Fenyo, she is absolutely amazing...except for the fact that she is strung way too tight and since she is my first doll that is strung together, I'm not too confident on my skills of taking her apart and then putting her back together...correctly...anyways, because she is strung so tight she doesn't pose very well, or really at all...she can't stand on her own, she can't keep her arms held up...they just snap back to her sides, her legs snap backwards at the knee too.....so my problem is that i don't really know what to do...is there any way to get the strings to loosen up or something...i could order some more strings(?whatever..elastic...?) but then I'm back at the point of me not knowing if i can restring her and get her back together...and I'm not near any place where someone else could do it for me...T^T.....i really need some help, any suggestion? crying crying crying

This method worked my my too tight doll-

Curl her into the fetal position and tie her( or use rubber bands). Leave her in that position for a week or two till her string loosens up smile
Usually its best to put them in the box for safe keeping till then. If she is still too tight, give her a few more days and then check her. It usually fool proof 3nodding
