I purchased the studio at AGPNY on January 9. Fittingly, it was Coral's (my dancing doll) birthday! The box is quite large so I borrowed a friend's hand cart to bring it home via subway. I would not recommend this method- had I the option, I would have used a car!
Isabelle's Studio by Colette Denali, on Flickr
Here's the full studio. It's not that big, considering. It's only slightly taller than a doll and about as wide as two dolls.
Isabelle's Studio: dress form by Colette Denali, on Flickr
The dress form is covered in cloth, but underneath it is plastic, so unfortunately you cannot stick pins in it.
Isabelle's Studio: tuffet by Colette Denali, on Flickr
The tuffet is cute- It's a good height for a doll to sit at the table part of the studio, but the cover slides off fairly easily.
Isabelle's Studio: scissors by Colette Denali, on Flickr
The little accessories are the best part! I love this wee pair of scissors that actually open and close.
Isabelle's Studio: pin cushion by Colette Denali, on Flickr
The pin cushion has an obnoxiously long tag.
Isabelle's Studio: measuring tape and thread by Colette Denali, on Flickr
Measuring tape & three spools of thread. I think the thread can go on the sewing machine, but I'm not entirely sure.
Isabelle's Studio: sketchbook by Colette Denali, on Flickr
The sketch book is really cute. It has two pages with designs and the rest have the body outline so you can design more outfits.

Here is one design.

Here is another.
Isabelle's Studio: basket by Colette Denali, on Flickr
Here is the basket- it's cute, but I wish it weren't molded plastic. It looks kind of cheap to me.
Isabelle's Studio: sewing machine by Colette Denali, on Flickr
I wish the sewing machine were white, but otherwise it's really cute! The foot rides up and down when you turn it on, which is kind of weird, but I can see why they did it that way.
Isabelle's Studio: hat box by Colette Denali, on Flickr
Hat box. I really like this!
Isabelle's Studio: closed armoire by Colette Denali, on Flickr
This is the trunk with the doors shut. The mirrors look that way because I haven't peeled off the protective film yet. The Hart Dance Company logo looks permanent, but perhaps when I peel off the film it will prove to be removable.
Overall, it's a great set. I'm planning to use it in my doll's bedroom. I love all the little pieces and the armoire itself looks really nice. I'm glad AG went with white and not pink or purple as with much of the rest of Isabelle's collection.
