blonde updo

REDRESSED. This sophisticated lady has her short blonde hair styled in a structured “bump” updo with center-part curtain side bangs that frame her aloof face. With applied lashes in pretty good shape, aqua green eye shadow, and bright pinkish-orange lips, this doll can easily blend in almost any fashion situation. She has a body similar to the Victoire Roux early body with medium bust and slender torso/hips similar to Poppy Parker. Her high heel feet have the “split toe” used on the original Fashion Royalty body and Model Behavior / NuFace early dolls. She still has her original plastic factory knee protectors in place and comes with the following items:

• DRESS – Nicely tailored modernized vintage-style cap-sleeve dress with full skirt is constructed of premium cotton-blend fabric sporting a cheerful floral pattern in yellow, orange, purple, and green on an off-white background. Stud-style snaps secure the back. Dress bodice is fully lined, and skirt is lined with tulle, with the couturier’s label sewn in-seam. (Made by Ebay seller cajig2014 aka Yoly’s Designs.) TIP: For easy dressing, use a small flat-head screwdriver or similar stiff flat object to gently pry the snaps open and save your fingernails and the fabric from undue stress.
• BELT – The removable belt of black real leather is attached to a square metal slide buckle studded with faux diamonds for a nice dressy upscale look. (Same couturier as above.)
• JEWELRY – Earrings mounted on standard metal posts feature three dangle-strands of strung purple color-shift gems originally from a Joe Tai doll.
• SHOES – Faux leather purple strappy pumps slip on and are secured in front with a bead-tipped strand that slides between the doll’s toes. (These shoes were designed for dolls like early Fashion Royalty with “split toes.”) These shoes will come packaged in a Joe Tai branded pink and white lift-top shoe box that can be used for storage and as a diorama prop.

This beautiful lady will make a great starter doll for enthusiasts new to Fashion Royalty or looking for legacy dolls, and will definitely be a welcome addition to any discerning collection.
