My daughter has had the Corolle Mon Premier Calin Yang Doll 12" (http://www.amazon.com/Corolle-Premier-Calin-Yang-Doll/dp/B000HBTSF0/ref=sr_1_10?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1312861046&sr=1-10) by her side, through thick and thin for over three years.
The problem: her legs are just about to fall off. They are literally hanging on by a thread (hollow legs are attached to the cloth "thighs"). It looks grotesque, and DD wraps her up blankets or jackets to keep people from seeing the almost amputated legs.
I thought about trying fabric tape, but I don't think it will hold. Duct tape?
I hesitate to offer to get her a replacement, because this is "Hannah baby" and could a duplicate be the same.

Update
I got a response from Corolle. The good news is there is a doll's hospital that they recommend (TLC Doll Shop in Colorado - 303-233-3006).
The bad news is I broached this idea today, but DD prefers not to send her doll away for more than an overnight visit! So it's on to Band-aids, Duct Tape, whatever else we can try. :D Right now she's got her wearing some pajama pants from a boy doll that keep the legs on, so that buys me some time.
