The kind of elastic you can buy at Joann or fabric stores is not designed for use in dolls - it's very very springy. You need to buy elastic from a doll supplier so you get the less springy stuff that will hold tighter.
Been there, done that myself which is why I know.
I got the MSD string kit from Junky Spot. Supposedly it was already cut to the correct size.
That's good elastic then - you probably just need to pull it tighter. It takes a few tries to get it the way you want it usually. When it says "right size" that just means you are going to have enough to string a standard MSD type doll, but it doesn't mean it will be the perfect length for your personal tastes. Just untie your knots and give'm a good pull until you are happy with the results
Well, her arms are fine. It's the torso/leg piece that's loose.
