short black gel-styled hair

REDRESSED, REBODIED. This Adele 1.0 face sculpt gives off alluring vibes with her daring side glance and original retro-vintage-look heavily gelled double-bun hair style. She comes with her original wire-post “pearl” earrings but does not have applied lashes, as those were not added to FR dolls until a few years later. She has been rebodied on a color-matched 3.2 generation tall Fashion Royalty body with “wasp” waist and removable hands for easier dressing. Her hips are a bit floppy, which is typical for this body style, but she holds poses as shown. Doll cannot stand alone. She comes with the following clothing and accessories:

• TOP & LONG SKIRT – This formal bustier-shaped top and matching long pencil skirt that terminates at the knees in an expansive mermaid ruffle is a simple yet elegant ensemble. Constructed of stretchy deep burgundy slightly textured double-knit material that flows nicely and hugs natural curves, this outfit will enhance the look of nearly any thin to standard fashion doll. The top is lined with black stretch double-knit fabric, and the skirt is long enough for taller dolls. Both pieces slip on.
• GLOVES – Black opera-length fingerless sleeve gloves have a small thumb hole to hold the sleeves in place over the hand. Stretchy with a snug fit, these sleeve-gloves slip on. For dolls with removable hands, it’s best to slip the hand peg-first into the bottom and position the thumb in the hole, then slip the sleeve over the arm and slide up until the hand peg can be inserted into the arm hole. For dolls without removable hands, to prevent fabric punctures it’s best to cover the fingers with a small piece of plastic or smooth tight woven cloth and inch the sleeve over the fingers and upward until fully in place, then remove the protective covering from the fingers. Sleeves have been packaged with toothpicks inserted to mark the thumb holes temporarily because they are tiny and hard to locate.
• JEWELRY – Doll comes with original metal-post white “pearl” bud earrings. A white “pearl” strung necklace with back hook clasp is also included.
• SHOES – Black flex-vinyl strappy heels (originally made for Integrity Candi dolls) will fit a variety of dolls including this doll, although the fit is snug.

This lovely legacy doll is a nice addition to any serious fashion doll collection, or a great starter doll for collectors new to Fashion Royalty, and comes with a nice selection of fashion pieces that can be used with other dolls.
