I have limited modeling sources at the moment, but Mama's doll Jayne was eager to volunteer. As you can see, she risked dusty feet on a precarious ledge to model this Mulan outfit next to her heroine. (Interesting note: Had I not double checked and added the 'e' to the end, that sentence would have taken on a whole different meaning.)
When I first got it, I was actually expecting it to be one dress with a belt. I was unsure of the top and skirt being separate, and at first I had no idea what the white ruffle frilly doodad was for, but everything was pretty much self explanatory. Plus, the shoes were a nice surprise. (I'm sure they were mentioned on the listing, but I remember just grabbing it up as quick as I could.) And despite my original misgivings, I do believe this was easier to put on than if it had been one piece.
Note that the ribbon is still in the little baggy it came in. Hairstyles are my kryptonite at the moment.
(I obviously need to work on my photography skills)
Now, because I never really delete e-mails due to my being a packrat, I see that my maximum bid for this outfit was $20. Fortunately, no one else bid, so I only paid $11 for this. Perhaps not the greatest deal around (or is it?) but as a fan of the movie, I thing the quality there was well worth the price. It appears to be well put together to my novice eye (I'm not the sewer in the family, my mother is) and nothing snagged or ripped or threatened to when putting it on. So hey, that works for me!
Looking back, I do believe this purchase was the start of everything. Of course, as of typing this post, I only have five pairs of doll shoes and an a pair of blue slacks aside from this, but I'm beginning to see how addicting doll clothes can be. After all, I got to put all the fashion sense I don't have for myself somewhere, right?
