I mentioned a while back that I admire the Cinderella sculpt by Robert Tonner for his 16" dolls. A month or so ago, I found one nude on ebay for a price I could afford at the time, so home she came.
She's wearing a white bodysuit that came on a Tonner Basic Daphne doll. Originally, this doll represented Cinderella at the ball, in a blue sparkly and beaded dress, wearing a rhinestone tiara and simple necklace that was a row of rhinestones. However, nude dolls are way less expensive, so unless I'm in totally in love with an outfit, I buy the doll nude where I can. I do have to get cracking on sewing them things, but that's a whole different topic. Her body is the most recent incarnation of Tonner's Tyler Wentworth body. There have been many dolls produced with that body. My
Vintage Basic Daphne is similar, except for the changeable feet.

| Her hairdo is quite elaborate, appropriate for a ball. |

After wanting a Cinderella for so long, I was taken aback to not be totally in love with her face. The best I can describe it is that her lips seem a little... pursed.
Looking at the pictures I took from further away, though, she looks just like the Cinderella that I fell in love with online. I'm hoping she'll grow on me, and if not, I can always resell her. She's definitely staying around for a while, though. She might look different dressed, too.
Congratulations on finding your Cinderella! Hopefully she'll grow on you. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the hairstyle on her - gorgeous!
She's lovely, I love her hair and face. I hope the "click" with her will happen :-).
ReplyDeleteThank you, jSarie and Night Owl! I think I probably will end up keeping her; she does have a lot going for her.
ReplyDeleteOh Barb, she is so Elegant and Gorgeous - Love her hair updo so Much! Bonding can take time, and I find that taking pictures evolves for me as I grow more accustomed to the doll. I hope you do keep her, she really is Beautiful ~ LuV, TiGGy
ReplyDeleteThank you! I agree, her hair is very nicely done. Tonner is good at hair styles.
DeleteShe looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi I am the anonymous above. Do you have a delilah noir doll? Some are Gothic and really cool. You can change their eyes and wigs. Some have poor quality wigs.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't have a Delilah Noir doll. If I do end up getting a doll type that I can change out the eyes and wigs, Pullips are calling to me at the moment. !
DeleteHi If you would ever like to sell her let me know!
