| nancyadair's Full Review: Tonner Dolls Tyler Wentworth - Casual Luxury 16" C... |
My mom gave away my Barbies when I was a teen and I never recovered from the loss. For thirty years I got excited by dolls but was too practical to think of spending money on them. I was an adult, after all. Finally, in my late 40's, I decided I was old enough to buy dolls again!
I bought a doll collector's magazine. On the back cover was a full-page add for Casual Luxury Tyler Wentworth. The large close-up photo was amazing. This doll looked like a real person. Her clothes were detailed, fit wonderfully, and were from the real world of style. But,I knew I'd never spend the money on her.
I received this doll for Christmas! She was as wonderful as the ad made her look. The buttery soft camel coat, knit gray top, white wool slacks fit her beautifully. She had socks and boots, like a real gal would wear, and a leather-look bag.
The doll's facial features are simple, pretty, and sweet. Later restyling of Tyler makes her look more sophisticated, but this early doll looks more like a real person to me. Her hair is silky and straight.
The doll's body shows some uneveness around the joints, and she has unbending arms, although her legs do bend.
After undressing, it is hard to slip the leather-look belt back into it's loops. It is very small, and I also have trouble weaving the belt through the metal belt buckle. Every time I redress Tyler in the slacks I wonder if I'll stretch or rip the belt, but it has lasted several years without this happening.
Tyler is not a doll meant for children. Her cost alone prohibits it. But for an older girl or adult, she allows one to indulge in fashions that are beautiful in detail and style.
BTW, I now have four dolls and each has several changes of clothing. And I expect to receive more in a few days for Christmas!
