( Price also posted on Angelic Dreamz site but no photos).<br />Is it possible that the Japanese site didn't have photos of everything which makes up the Troussseau? The price is way too high for a frowsy dress and a Mary Poppins coat. ( and a mini Hermes Kelly bag, named for her, natch).<br />Thanks!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-78819059151987443942011-04-21T15:20:14.448-04:002011-04-21T15:20:14.448-04:00It's a silkstone doll plus two outfits.
