I cannot seem to get a photo that does my doll justice. She is... oh wow... utterly beautiful and I am so glad that I got down off the fence and ordered her.
If my Kanani's very pretty hazel eyes are not both exactly the same size, I cannot for the life of me tell. I do like her colouring while acknowledging that AG could/should have given her dark eyes and darker hair.
Her stringing seems just right and the doll is nicely balanced and stands easily. She sits pretty well too, without legs splayed too far. I did pull an arm out (poor doll!) a bit and noticed a seemingly different arrangement inside.
From the ground up: I think Kanani's sandals are the least pleasing part of her outfit. They are 'ok' but the elastic around the back instead of a proper strap and buckle fastening is annoying and screams 'cheap shortcut'. I am fussy about my doll shoes. I like them to look like the real thing in miniature detail.
I like Kanani's sundress very much. The fabric is lightweight (it IS a sundress after all) but looks fresh and cool rather than cheap. The flower accent on the front and the little sequins placed randomly are pretty touches not overdone. Her undies are a bright pink with the motif from the necklace in a paler colour at one hip.
The necklace spacer beads are glaringly plastic, the large painted ones not so much (though I know they are). It's a doll necklace and I can deal.
The flower hairclip ties in with the dress print without being overly 'matchy'. It's very pretty.
I love long hair but confess, I had a brief, 'what was I thinking??!' moment when I saw how VERY long Kanani's hair is. It is silky and beautiful though and didn't come out of the hairnet too messy at all. It was an easy thing to mist each wavy lock and gently brush it out, starting from the ends and working up. As a careful adult I think it will be fun to play with and style but I'll probably keep Kanani's hair in a loose plait for safe keeping a lot of the time in between.
Kanani is a beautiful, looks-and-feels-like quality play doll from head to toe (as long as you ignore her shoes
) and she gets a solid A+ from me.
