Elizabeth's doll, Charlotte, is dressed in the day's elegant fashions.
Elizabeth's Fashion Doll is a really nice piece! A+
The doll is all wood with painted on features and painted shoes. The arms are moveable and so are the legs. You can move the legs separate from each other! She has a spoon shaped head and her facial detailing is pleasing to the eye, unlike some of Felicty's dolls' faces I've seen.
The doll has real hair, not painted, a cute curly type hairstyle with a ribbon headband. It's very nice hair too, not yarn. You probably could straighten it if you wanted, though I don't know how it would look so I wouldn't recommend that unless you get a real beat up one and want to experiment.
Her dress is nice, a stiff taffeta red/burgundy/berry underskirt and a softer light golden brown over dress thing with and interesting texture. The dress is not attached to the doll, so it could be potentially cut off. There's no way to remove it without cutting it or breaking the doll, however.
The only thing I can ding this doll for is the fact that they don't have a full sized dress for Elizabeth. Or, rather, they should have made one of her dresses small scale for the doll, cause the color scheme, while okay, is not the best thing they could have picked. Especially considering they originally were trying to market it to little girls. But honestly it's the littlest, nitpicky thing. Maybe it's based on a real life dress or an illustration, I dunno.
Also, there's no invitation with it like there is with Felicity's. Though I think Elizabeth had this doll before the ball? Can't remember.
