A Reveiw on My New Girl, Tiphona!

Last Wednesday, Tiphona came! I didn't post because I've been a bit busy and stuff and things and such... you know, life. But here's a post with a quick review and some info about her!
I know I said that she was supposed to come last Friday, but my mom said it would realistically be the next monday. but, she didn't come that monday or tuesday (I was really upset xD) and just as we were going to go to the post office to comlain about our "2 day priority" mail, she came. :D yaaay!

 Here she is after I unwrapped her! She looks so sweet, elegant, and ladylike.

 It took me a while to get her out... It always does. I guess it's part of the fun, unless you're overly excited and just want your doll out and to take pics!

Phew! I finally got out of all those little plastic things and wire ties and stuff!

 She's so beautiful! *__*

 Since her outfit is so elaborate and detailed, I'll do that first!
Her dress/jumperskirt is so pretty and has great deatils. there's small lace trimmings, ruffles, bows, little pearly beads and a beautiful print. It's mostly a dull-ish green with small pink and blue flowers, and the ruffles on the inside are pink and blue flowers on a brown-er color. The entire thing is pretty stiff, but it doesn't look or feel bad.

Here's her card, which has a pretty picture of her. I don't think the hair colors quite match though, It's a lot lighter in real life. (the same goes for the other stock pics)

 She also comes with some other things. one is a little leather purse. it also has great detail, I love the little bow!

She also came with a little headband, it's the same material as her dress but has lace. it also has wire in it to help it stay on her head but still doesn't really stay on her head.

 

She also has detailed shoes. In the box, she just has her socks on, and her shoes come in the side. I had some difficulty getting them on because of the print her socks have. I didn eventually get them on though. The shoes are made of rubbery- platic stuff but have little "stitching" indents and a bow molded in.

she also had this little detatchable bow around her neck. I guess it's just for extra decoration. It didn't for for a necklace or anything else, but it did work for a hair tie. xD

Her overdress has a green lace-up ribbon in the back, but really opens up with velcro.

 Underneath, she has a cream colored blouse with pretty lace and beads. It ties in the back but also has velcro. She also has a white underskirt/pannier and them cream panties underneath. :)

Just like I read in other people's reviews, her hair is soft and smooth. her actual wig had some little hairs sticking out and I can kinda see the cap in a couple places, but it's not bad and still pretty nice. I must be getting used to all those fancy BJD wigs I got Kitty and Mizuki. It's not overly long, either!

Her eyes are a pretty olive green, but they don't sparkle and aren't very shiny. and, different than I thought, they have a layer of green kinda on the back and then smaller lines on the top of her eye. it kinda creates depth but you can't really tell unless you're like 2 inches away from her face (which my camera can't photograph).

Her face-up makes her look so sweet and cute! I mostly buy my dolls based off face-up so they'll look good customized, and I really liked Tiphona's. (of course, I also bought her because of her beautiful outfit, hair and just because she's gorgeous) Her face-up is mostly pink, like her eye shadow and lips. Her blush is more of a tan color. She has large dark brown eyeliner with large wings and some plain lover lashes. Her eyelids are tan with the same dark brown color line. her lips are pretty light, but have a dark line in the middle.

Here's the picture that's closes to her face, which happens to be my new flickr icon :D

I've decieded to name her Elodie. It's pretty and I think it might be French. Since I wanted her personality to be happy, bright, bouncy, and innocent, I figured that Elsie would be the perfect nickname.
I may get her a short-ish pink wig too. Here's a link to it, comment what you think!http://formydoll.com/shop/step1.php?number=1617
I'm working on a separate blog for my pullips, with profiles and their story, and I could post little picture stories and things there. It still needs some work (and a proper name) so it might be a while. but when I have it up, I'll make a post with a link and you can read all about Elsie (and Kitty and Mizuki too, of course).

~Hope (And Elsie!)
