New Fashions from Shantommo
One of my goals last year was to buy less dolls and more fashions. I was successful to a certain degree. I bought less dolls but they were more expensive. Sigh. However, I did manage to buy a good deal of designer fashion from the wonderfully talented people in our doll world. Shantommo, Ryan Liang, puts out new designs every so often and they do sell out quickly. Here are two new outfits for my Fashion Royalty gals.
"Owning the Night" is a micro pleated gown with a Fortuny vibe. The very low neckline is a fashion mishap waiting to happen. On this Veronique, who has a fuller bust than the newer FR2 body, it's a bit too revealing. Photoshop almost comes to the rescue!
I have added the fascinator and jewelry.
A close-up of Vero's classic Fashion Royalty face that launched a thousand collections.
"Rebel Chic" is a sporty pair of slacks and a one shoulder blouse. Many designers have difficulty making slacks from non-stretch fabric that fit and look good on a doll. Ryan has done a good job balancing the details and style. They do need a bit of pressing. The top, however, doesn't work well along the diagonal front seam. The white fabric is buckling and I don't think it's suppposed to be like that. I like the overall look anyway. Perhaps the top needs ironing as well.
My model is a hair workshop Elise from the 2014 FR convention. Pin is a vintage item.

Star and Kingdom Doll News for 2016
Here's a beautiful way to begin the New Year. Star is a limited edition of 50 and retails for $610 plus shipping.
She uses the Selgovae head sculpt and her resin color is called Devonshire Cream. Sounds good enough to eat. She'll be dressed in lovely blue lingerie and silver heels. Her wig is a two-tone blended Nordic blonde hard cap and she sports a delicate silver Angel feather tag bracelet.
KD is trying out a different way to sell Star. The first 50 emails received from collectors after 5PM (British time) on Sunday the 10th of January, 2016 will be able to pre-order Star. You must write Star on your email header and send your email to kingdomdoll@yahoo.co.uk.
• Only the first 50 emails for the purchase of Star will be responded to.
• You will be required to pay a 50 percent deposit at that time.
• If you do not receive a response from us in a timely fashion then please assume that you were not one of the 50.
• Any emails received before the stated day and time will not be taken into account for the purchase of Star.
The planned release date is January 31st, the Kingdom Doll Birthday!
