Is the clothing msde out of wax, too, or is it actual fabric clothing draped on the figure?

Thanks guys! Alexandra, just the head is wax. Hair is punched hair, including eyebrows and clothes are real clothes. William shipped off now and just finishing up Kate. Need a long break when done - two+ full time careers burning me out.

Oh, interesting! I thought the artists made the entire thing including clothing in wax! I don't know why I thought that--it must have been an assumption I made when I was a child.
