Drill hole in porcelain prior to bisque firing An invisible doll stand is made with a wooden base with a dowel rod glued into a hole pre-drilled into the wooden base. The dowel rod runs through the base of a doll's foot. (You cut the hole in the foot prior to bisque firing.)
Dowels fot two legs When you make an invisible stand, make it for 2 dowel rods, and put the rods up both of your dolls legs. If you have a doll with a bent leg, like Chari from Doll Artworks or Ali Hansen's lady dolls, make one of the dowels shorter -- just long enough to hold the bent leg in place.

Instead of leaving the base just plain wood, I cover it with fabric and lace with string pearls around the sides. I also covered one with a mirror, had a hole drilled in the center, and made an ice skater with one leg behind her.
I did this to Ali Hansen's 36" lady doll and made a bride doll and got a blue ribbon AND compliments from the judges on the way I did the stand.
