Integrity Toys new release - Tulabelle

I was delighted with Integrity Toys' latest Tulabelle release--designed by David Buttry. I think this 16" doll has a lot of spunk, and I think her fashion sense is amazing. Additionally, her fashions fit my Chicline Fairyland dolls, and there is a dealer in Austin (Treasure Dolls) who offers splits, so I have preordered every one of these fashions. They are to die for!

I know Ed at Happily Ever After still has these dolls available for preorder. He charges $25 for deposit for these dolls. Also, Treasure Dolls offers these dolls for sale, and also will split these if you're looking for just the nude doll.

First up, and possibly my favorite, is French Kissed. She is limited to 300 and retails for $140, which is slightly more than last year, I believe. She will be released in late summer of 2014--approaching the IT convention, I'm afraid.

She has platinum hair with rooted eyelashes and uses the Japan skin tone. Her outfit includes a pleather skirt, sheer blouse, cropped tweed jacket, and black fishnet stockings. Accessories are multi-chain necklace, cross earrings, pink platform shoes, black fingerless gloves, and a black clutch.

At the webinar, Touch of Grace was voted fan favorite. She's limited to 300 and retails for $140, with a late summer delivery date. She is a Japan skin tone with rooted bright auburn curls and hand applied lashes.

Her outfit includes a sheer blouse with oversized sleeves, pleather bustier, slim fit pants, bow-trimmed pumps, and heirloom jewelry (a necklace, ring and earrings), and an embroidered purse.

I think the cutest name in this collection is Player Slayer. You can totally tell the designers were having fun. I love this doll! She retails for $140 and with an edition size of 300.

She uses the Japan skin tone with golden blond hair with light brown low-lights, and gorgeous blue eyes with applied eye lashes. She wears twill pants with gold buttons on the legs, a torn sleeveless shirt with faux leather strap details, a faux fur coat, gold platforms, hoop earrings, bracelets, brooch, chain necklace, and carries sparkling sequin purse.

Front Row is the last, but not least of the collection. She is David Buttry's favorite because of her gorgeous hand-me-down coat, which makes another appearance this release (in Poppy Parker's line). She is limited to 300 and retails for $140, with a release date of late summer.

She uses the Japan skin tone with a raven up-do, gorgeous green eyes and applied lashes. She includes a magnificent gold trench coat, which she has had relined in her signature color--purple. Additionally, she is wearing a two-piece top and skirt with gold lace overlay with pleather raglan sleeves, a faux corset-style belt, short black boots, gold earrings, bangle bracelets, cat eye sunglasses, a necklace, and a purple and gold clutch.

Coated in Glamour - via Polyvore

Coated in Glamour by alison-boyd-rasmussen featuring a leather jacket

Like Pinterest, I only intended to spend a couple of minutes on Polyvore before I dropped down the rabbit hole... but I just love that site! Here's a fancy version of Integrity's Coated in Glamour Tulabelle--in case you wanted to try out her look for yourself. You've gotta admire the dress--for $1,920 from Harrods.com. It's on my wish list for my own wardrobe this year! 

I realize that there are lots of ways to make this outfit less expensive, but that was not my intention for this set. I wanted to make the ideal outfit for Tulabelle--and for a RL IT doll--and I think I came pretty close!

Camellia

Camellia, a photo by alington on Flickr.

One of my current favorite and versatile dolls at the moment is Soom Rosette Camellia. She is a slim mini BJD from Korea. She wears a small wig (about a 6/7), and she can wear many different clothes.

Here, she is wearing Tulabelle's Coated in Glamour dress and belt by Integrity Toys. I did have to remove her hands to fit them through the sleeves, but that was easy to do. Her shoulders are a bit large for the coat, however. The purse is also from that same outfit.

Her shoes are by Iplehouse, and the wig is by DollHeart.

Camellia has had a faceup by the talented GamerGirlLexi of 16-BIT Faceups on Den of Angels. I think she's very sweet. When I get up the nerve and patience, I'll add some eyelashes, too.

Chloe in Tulabelle

Miss Chloe (Fairyland Chicline BJD) in Beauty White resin is dressed in the fashion from Violet Femme Tulabelle, a brand new line from Integrity Toys. It's a great new contemporary look, I have to say--down to the shoes.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the shoes on over the adorable tube socks (which are just over the knee and super cute), but the outfit is still really fun without the socks, too. The shoes have a zip on the inside, so they are easy to put on and take off.

The shorts are a perfect fit--which is great. I think it's a great casual option of this size of doll--and you should check out all the terrific fashions available for Tulabelle. She has a fantastic wardrobe!

Evelyn of Treasure Dolls is one dealer who offers splits of these dolls--so if you'd rather not purchase the entire doll and just want the fashion, you can do that in advance. However, once you see Tulabelle, you might change you mind. She's adorable, too.

You can see a few more photos on Flickr.

Tulabelle is available for pre-order!

Integrity Toys has previewed a new line of dolls in the 16" size, called Tulabelle. This doll uses the Poppy Parker Fashion Teen body, and dolls are limited to 300.

Two basic editions are available for $115 each, and they will deliver in early May. Above, it's the brunette Violet Femme, in a chic and sporty asymmetric skull tee, black shorts, silver hoop earrings, ringed socks and high-heeled sneakers.

J'Adore is the blonde version of the basic doll. She's wearing a printed tee, pink miniskirt, pink stud earrings, and socks with her platform sandals.

Four dressed Tulabelles are also available to pre-order for $150 each. Yeti to Wear is a blunt-bang raven girl in skinny pants, super-high platform boots, a lace blouse, purple faux fur vest, embroidered clutch, earrings, ring and two necklaces. I think she's adorable.

Pomp and Circumstance will deliver in early May. She has a medium blonde partial up-do, and lots of terrific accessories--dangling earrings, black ring, beaded necklace, "Love" tote bag, two pairs of shoes--black flats with silver toes and gorgeous metallic red heeled loafers, and sunglasses. Shes wearing red skinny pants, a white blouse with black trim, and a leopard print coat.

Coated in Glamour has an estimated delivery date of June 2013. She is dressed in a belted white-washed gold cocktail dress with mesh overlay, pale blue jacket, and fishnets. She has really cool accessories, as well: a metallic green clutch, long silver earrings, ring, two bangle bracelets and black boots.

Last but not least, and also with a June delivery date, its the platinum ponytail Trend Spotted. An acid yellow polkadot skirt is the trademark of this look, and she's also wearing a sporty short-sleeved pink collared tee, lime fishnets and a black faux leather jacket. Her fabulous accessories include amazing multi-colored boots, two bangles, hoops earrings, brooch and blue purse.
