Even at the same price, I think I'd feel happier having fewer items if it meant they were all equal in quality. And considering how many more people sew clothes but don't make shoes, I'd think there would be a decent size market for shoes on their own as well.<br /><br />I'm sure you're right about the origins of the shipper boxes - it's just hard not to comment on it when I have such a large pile to take to the recycling bin when the clothes themselves are so tiny.

Unfortunately, mine broke in the middle of the heel. Much harder to fix! I also have a pair of Tonner slippers that are too tight to actually get on the doll's feet. Doll companies seem to prefer the shoes super tight rather than a little loose so they go on the foot easily. Other than that, I usually buy basic dolls, or I buy my dolls nude second hand, so I don't know too much about clothes issues.<br /><br />That white box is called a shipper. I've had dolls mailed to me in just the shipper before, but of course with two objects that doesn't work. I imagine shippers got started for retailers to keep doll boxes from looking shopworn before they even hit the shelves.Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443729619692022416.post-31399405535019705732014-10-07T06:00:58.983-07:002014-10-07T06:00:58.983-07:00Thanks!

But at least the pieces that work look good, so that's worth something! :)jSariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091297532711995227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443729619692022416.post-25627478663273562362014-10-07T05:58:11.960-07:002014-10-07T05:58:11.960-07:00Thanks!

That red dress is definitely my favourite on her as well - I think she'll go on the shelf in that one. :)<br /><br />I've know that some people collect the outfit sets on-card (and that would explain the excessive packaging as well, since they'd want the inner layer as pristine as possible for display) , so for that segment of the market I can see why they might focus somewhat more on the details/appearance versus the quality, but I can't imagine that the on-card collectors actually outnumber the people who want the try the clothes on their dolls... jSariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091297532711995227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443729619692022416.post-52527115016850328632014-10-07T03:11:53.974-07:002014-10-07T03:11:53.974-07:00Hi, the coat looks lovely, it's a shame the le...Hi, the coat looks lovely, it's a shame the leggings don't fit when the top is on! I've had this problem with some separate Gene Marshall outfits in the past (not fitting, broken shoes etc.), so I can totally understand your disappointment. For collectibles the companies should offer solid and good clothes, especially for the prices some cost... Well, at least Lizette looks adorable with the clothes :-).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443729619692022416.post-41940831073088655472014-10-06T11:14:19.660-07:002014-10-06T11:14:19.660-07:00I do like the Tonner outfits as I think they'r...I do like the Tonner outfits as I think they're such cute miniatures of original clothing....but I'd disappointed to see the problems you had with your second outfit. I have several of their outfits and have to say that some of them are slightly scimping on fabric as, like you found with the leggings, it's often hard to put all the pieces together, as I assume they were intended to be, due to the layers. And I too have had footwear break quickly after receiving it, which is a shame as I love the little details on the shoes and boots.<br />I really think they should use less packaging, most of it goes in the rubbish bin anyway, so what's the point of it all.<br />Having said all that, the outfits do look nice on your girl and I particularly like the red dress on her, it goes really nicely with her skin tone.<br />Hugs Sharon in Spain xSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.com
