Merry Christmas 2017
On behalf of everyone here, Fashion Doll Stylist wishes each and every one of you in the dollysphere, a Very Merry, Jolly Dolly Christmas.
Merry Christmas dear April, and I wish you a wonderful, healthy, successful 2018 with lots of dolly fun! The group photos are beautiful, your "model agency" is awesome :-). All are dressed very stylish and fabulous!!! Do I see an adorable Little Darling too? She's very cute! Hugs xxx
Thank you for your very kind words and hoping your holiday is a good one as well. I am quite pleased with my "model agency." They all show off the clothes quite well. Yes that is a Little Darling (and her friends). Her name is Conner and she's visiting me all the way from Jano's "Dolltown" (hiyadoll.com)!! Childrenswear really isn't my strength, but I am trying to design a few thing for her. Big hugs!
Oh, BlackKitty, you don't know the half of it!!! It took me 2 weeks to get the clothes out of storage and everyone dressed! What you don't see are the 30 other dolls, already dressed for New Years (in black, white and silver) who will be taking many of these dolls' places. In addition, all of my playline Barbies are also dressed in party clothes! This was a LOT of work! I'm just surprised I have amassed so many red dresses! Happy Holidays!
I've been looking forward to this aswell as the Paris windows. Merry Christmas! I got the FR16 Shades Of Gray Hanne Erickson doll. Shes gorgeous! Never had a huge FR doll before. I love her!
Thank you so much. This has become a nice addition to the Christmas decorations in my house. Getting there takes some time, but the end result is always so much fun. It's the Christmas ball I always dreamed of !! Congratulations on your newest addition to your doll family. I have 7 Tonners and at times, have been tempted to add an FR16 or two, but have not yet indulged. I'm sure you have a lot of wonderful times ahead with her!!!
Ps I wanted to ask if u or anyone else here also have the FR16 Shades Of Gray Hanne Erickson doll & if anyone else had any issues with her boots not fitting on her feet? Its frustrating! Thanks.
I don't have her, but hopefully someone else will reply to your question. Those marvelous shoes Fashion Royalty makes are incredible. But sometimes they do tend to be a tight fit. I think you have to fiddle with them for awhile before you finally get them to fit. Her boots are similar to a pair they make for the 12" doll. I find them very hard to fit on the doll!!! I had to unbuckle and unlace the boots, then do a lot of wiggling! By the way....she is GORGEOUS!!!
I'm looking at a photo of your dressed doll. I see that the boots have a zipper. When you unzip it, does the foot fit? Or..is the problem due to the arc of the foot different than the arc of the boot. If this is the case, take a look at this Integrity Toys YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/FeEZD2vABBE (Note: you will need to copy and paste this link into your browser because it will not work in this comment). Hope that helps.
I unzipped the boots all the way and tried different ways of arching her feet since they are flexible but no luck! I contacted Integrity Toys to see what they suggest. Thank u so much!

DeleteYour doll family is so well dressed, all in the same colour scheme except a few gents in black. That's a lot of hard work! Merry Christmas!
