I received Vivian and she looks great. The weight is surprisingly more than I expected. The joints are stiff so I'll need to learn how her arms and legs rotate. The face is by far more beautiful that I expected. Plenty of color as you can hopefully see by the images. These photos were vitually straight out of the box and into clothes, because you cannot let your little girl get cold. She does include standing bolts on the bottom which was definitely a welcomed advantage.
I noticed that the fingers must have small wires inside as they were able to be slightly adjusted with movement, but definitely didn't stay in position. The body is small, but the face is definitely not reflective of how small the body is, which was what I was hoping for. She looks older than the size of clothes she wears. Here is a break down of the clothes sizes and difficulty to put on and take off.
Included:
These are the plain white tie together set. They feel like they are more of a generic size and would likely fit multiple different sized dolls. They are exceptionally easy to put on and take off as it doesn't require much body movement to be successful.
The Kimono is a size 6. The shoulders were a bit difficult to get on, but once I figured it out it was much easier to get off. Overall, keeping her arms down made this more successful.
The yellow sundress is a size 4T. Just put her arms in the air and slip the dress down over her head and it goes on without an issue. As for taking it off, I tried putting her arms down as let her step out of the dress. This worked equally as well.
The bikini swimsuit is a size 3T. I know that the girth of the chest would be small, but I didn't know how it would correlate so I selected something small in hope it would work. The top is definitely loose fitting, but the bottoms are spot on and look great.
Overall, I did purchase these last two outfits externally, but wanted to give you a reference point as you look into your own doll. The orafices are plenty deep and the bottom two appear to have a texture on the inside. I really like the look and the weight of this doll. The stiffness of the arms and legs are something that I will learn to manuever. I'm glad I made this purchase.
