Evette is such an appealing doll! She's currently on sale for $65 and will very likely disappear soon, so I couldn't resist bringing her home while I had the chance.
There are already great reviews of her, so I'm just going to add a few more photos.
First, here she is out of the box. AG's official description no longer says her hair comes "in a half up style," and sure enough, once you take the hairnet out, her hair falls naturally around her shoulders. I don't know if the earlier versions of Evette came with her hair partially up, or if that part of the description was a mistake.
I agree with what's already been said about good quality body fabric (no annoying neck wrinkles), zip tie, grey eyes, and painted lashes. I really like her subtle freckles, too.
I think the dress is cute and hangs well but is definitely on the short side. I think it might look a little better if it were just a quarter inch longer, or if it were worn with taller boots. Other than that, I like it. I like the long sleeves with elastic cuffs and the double bands of lace trim, the little flounce at the bottom of the skirt, and the v-neck (which I didn't initially realize is a separate piece of fabric from the bodice). I also like the belt, which I think it well-proportioned for this outfit.
V-neck dress:
Crocheted lace on sleeves:
Close up of dress fabric:
I'm not really a fan of the boots. The color is okay (and the flowers do echo the flowers of the dress), but they're lightweight and just don't really appeal to me. I would have preferred them to be taller, or even better, if AG had packaged her with the platform shoes that are mentioned prominently in Evette's book.
Overall I really like the doll and think she's a great deal and an easy A at $65. I'm excited to see what kind of personality she takes on at this house, and what she might look like if she time travels to different historical periods, although I'll undoubtedly keep some of the core parts of her personality the same, too!
ETA: My intention is that Evie might time travel to different periods here. So far she’s only visited the 1990s, but I think she looks right at home in the plaid skirt and sweater outfit. I may add other photos as she visits other decades.
