Leonardo Collection doll review

This time it will be review of doll from Leonardo Collection :)

I bought this doll (ok...my mum bought me) like about 1-2 weeks ago in second hand although she wasn't too cheap. Of course she had some drawbacks I have to fix but they were not so big and visible. 

This is how she's looked when I took her home:



She was dirty at her face, matted hair and had 3 tearings in her body.

After washing her hair, face and clothes, she looks much better ^^ I've also mend her tearings :)


She is about 40cm (15,7"). Has well-made bonnet and dress, woody shepherd cane, bloomers, socks, shoes and even petticoat!

BodyLine Stripe Baloon Bears OP (L367) review

This is my review of BL's L367 OP: Stripe Baloon Bears

First of all: stock photo:


Price: 53$

Fabric: "cotton others"

Measurements: this OP comes in 3 sizes: S, M and 2L.

S
Length 90cm
Bust 82-92cm
Waist 64-74cm
M
Length 92cm
Bust 86-96cm
Waist 68-78cm
2L
Length 97cm
Bust 94-104cm
Waist 76-86cm

Shipping: air mail - package was at my house about 17 days after ordering (because of Customs House and holidays)

Review:


I couldn't decide which color do I want (again...) I mean I like mint better BUT I didn't ave matching shoes so I wasn't sure whether to order pink version (to which I have matching shoes and socks) or mint one (and have no matching stuff). Finally mint won and I "had to" but shoes and socks XD

Fabric: this kind of cotton is quite elastic, the fabric is similar to this one from Cinderella Bunny. It's nice to touch - quite soft ^^ 

This OP has shirring and corset lacing at back, so it's quite universal. I've ordered 2L size, and I can say that measurements at the BL's site are quite accurate.

Measurements:

At BL's site there's:
2L
Length 97cm
Bust 94-104cm
Waist 76-86cm




I measured this dress and in the matter of fact measurements are:

Length: 98 cm

Bust: 80 - 107 cm (min with strongly lacing but then it isn't looking good, max with no lacing)

Waist: 65 - 94 cm (min-max witch lacing and no lacing)

Details:

 1. Lace is nice in touch

2. Cute print and print-details <3

3. Zipper at the left side of dress

4. Big detachable bow

5. Waist-ties are not detachable

6. Small detachable bow - this one is for neck-ties :)



In my opinion: 9/10 (-1 point for sewing mistake)

The first one has blue balloon, "Peace" 'earring' and blue bow

The second one has orange-bunny balloon, "Heart" 'earring' and orange bow

The third one has pink balloon, "Love" 'earring' and pink bow
