      Apparently it is very legal.

      Yes it is legal because clothing is considered by law to be a "useful article", having an intrinsic utilitarian function, which means you cannot copyright the clothes themselves, or even the design of the clothes.

    Great finds! For probably the first time ever, I prefer the doll versions. Of course, the pink bow would have to go on the Silkie. I think Gretel's dress has a lovely flow to it and I like the embroidery at the bottom.

    Which do you prefer in prototype photos which may vary widely from what we get LOL?

      I like the doll Gretel's dress better than the model's because the model looks mannish to me and there's nothing pretty about her. I like pretty on my dolls.

      As far as the Silkstone fashion, I don't care for either one.

    Not going to stop me buying, but these are making me depressed:
    1-They're near identical copies, sometimes right down to the styling zzz I'm VERY disapointed.
    2-They only remove cool elements instead of replacing or adding to the dress.

      Don't let it get you down. Buy what you love no matter what!

    I think it is pretty cool to have a miniature version of haute couture!

    The Evening Gown Silkstone looks like a wedding dress. They should rename the doll, because it looks nothing like what suggests. Its only saving grace is that its an AA Silkstone and not another pasty blonde.
