Blue Brocade Fashionistas. I plan to turn her into Pallegina doll (character from Pillars of Eternity). I love her sculpt and her skin tone. Was disappointed with the quality of her dress once I saw her in person.

@dollsahoy suggested that I paint one of the bodies I picked up and I kind of had to at that point. I loved this girl on her petite body, but I love her more with articulation!

Plus nothing gets my mind off junk like a doll project.

Petite Fashionista #25 Blue Brocade Review Part 1 So here I go again since I typed up this review earlier but Tumblr ate it. I've decided to call this doll Gabriella since she doesn't come with a name. She does come with Turquoise earrings, a blue, black & white dress, and black boots. Her earrings are large and have detailed molding that coordinates with the pattern on her dress. I was unable to remove them, they seem to hook into her head and then have something at the end of the post so they won't fall out. I like them alot, but this could affect me wanting to change her outfit when fashion packs come out. Her dress is fitted on top and has blue brocade on a white background. A black ribbon goes down the middle to another that goes around her waist. Her a-line skirt has alternating blue and black brocade on a light blue background. It's hemmed with black thread. It's a simple piece that looks great by itself because of all the details. I think it would also work well with a black jacket over it! Her shoes are black heeled boots that are open on the sides. They have great molded strap and buckle details and then molded studs and more detailing on the heel. I like them alot, they are the B size. I borrowed Curvy Sweetheart Stripe's shoes to try the different size on her and they are a little loose but they don't fall off! Her hair is pulled up into a chick up-do which is accomplished by tying it up in two places. It's black with subtle magenta highlights. It does have a little glue in it to hold all her curls but it feels fine. Though she's petite it adds about an inch to her height! Now her face! It's very pretty, I thought the mold was the same as the one used for Grace, but is seems to be a smaller version. This makes sense as it keeps her proportionate. I'm not sure how/if smaller heads will affect body swapping though. I find her face-up to be unique under black brows she's got bright eyes. They're a light orange brown with added yellow under the pupil which has a single highlight dot. A yellow orange streak goes behind her pupil adding depth. Her eyeshadow is done to give a smoky eye affect. There's a dark gray going all the way around with black in the crease and a light gray on the lid. Black liner is in the upper and lower lash line and she's got black lashes. Differing from her promo pictures she has a dark mauve lip. Overall her look is sophisticated but edgy. She's very fashion forward! The one negative thing is that on her legs about mid-calf the plastic changes. It goes from slightly shiny to matte, it was hard to catch in a picture but there's a clear line between them. Her legs also seem to each be a slightly different color with one being a little lighter. These things are hard to notice if you aren't looking for them but I've seen others with this problem. I don't mind it much, but I know some will. Overall I think she's a really unique doll and I'm glad to have her! The next part of this review will feature a body comparison with her and a 2016 Original body.
