If you can avoid the garage idea as lots aren't as dry as you want them to be. I have bought 2 girls with black spots on their legs and butt due to being stored in their garages. It's a pity you cant keep her out like mine. I had an ex colleague come round last night with 23 of mine in frontroom where she sat down next to 3 of them and I have inspector for midterm report coming next Thursday.

What about under the bed in a box? Some elephant feet may help if its too low. I wouldn't store the doll either with limbs bent or somewhere damp.
