brown eyes

REDRESSED. This cute Darla Daley doll has large side-glancing brown eyes, painted lashes, side-parted short brown hair, and small silver hoop earrings. She comes on a Poppy Parker body* with removable hands and is shown here wearing a brown tulle ruffle skirt with patent vinyl trim and hidden shimmer sparkles, matched with a simple cream cropped sleeveless rib-knit turtleneck top. Slip-on dark brown leatherette toe-strap heels with bead adornment are from Joe Tai, and have molded high heel soles. Shoes will come packaged in a pink and white Joe Tai brand lift-top retail shoe box. Skirt is designed to fit slender dolls and snaps in back. Top has Velcro-type back fastener. The Poppy Parker body has articulation at neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, chest, hips, knees, and ankles, and is about the same height as (or a smidgen taller than) standard belly-button or made-to-move Mattel Barbie. Feet are larger than most standard fashion dolls and may not be able to wear the same shoes interchangeably unless shoes are made to stretch or have a large foot capacity.

*NOTE: This doll’s hands and feet have become discolored (yellowed) with age. The hands can be switched out for color-matched replacements, but, as far as we know, the feet cannot be replaced using regular body-switch means. After display pictures were added to this listing, Americana “Brown Sugar” acrylic paint was applied in thin layers to achieve a color similar to but not an exact match to her body. This coloring will stay in place if not washed vigorously with water or scrubbed with soap, bristles, or abrasive cleaners. It may, however, retain scratch marks or rubs if the doll is handled rough (like trying to fit tight shoes or slide jewelry over hands without removing them first). To make coloring more permanent and resistant to water, staining, and scratches, apply one or two coats of acrylic matte varnish/sealer (like Liquitex or some other artist-grade brand) and allow to dry a couple days before continued use.

This lovely lady models and displays well and will make a great addition for collectors new to Integrity fashion dolls or for those looking for legacy Integrity dolls.
