2016 Fashion Royalty Collection–A Delicate Bloom
Better late than never right?! Some collectors were beginning to wonder if we were going to get a new release or not. Granted, the reveal is a bit later than we have had in years past. One thing I was not remembering, however, was the fact that the WClub 2016 did not start until February of this year. Some have pointed out that this reveal halfway into the “club” year is about right. Time and collector sales numbers will finish the thoughts and stories on that one. In my opinion, revealing this collection 6 months into the club year is a bit late. That fact does not stop me from appreciating the product nor making purchases so there you go. If I am not totally satisfied with the delay in the reveal, I am satisfied with the delivery time on these babies. They are all available within the next couple of months so no long wait times. On the downside…They are all coming DUE FOR PAYMENT in the next couple of months. This is not good for the wallet.
Note: “Eye Decals” I have marked which of these dolls are using the new eye decal application method under doll tech specs for those who are interested. For me, this new method is ok for now. Some collectors are very averse to this technique being used and I wanted to make sure everyone had the information before they purchase. For me, I am willing to give this technique a chance. I also respect people’s consumer choice and for many this is important information to have before they purchase.
For those readers who are not WClub members, you can find most of these dolls on Integrity Toys dealers sites. Be aware, WClub members had this information days ago so if you want any of these, contact dealers ASAP. Some may already be sold out.
Important note from Integrity Toys: The dolls pictured in this release are prototypes. Final fabrics, colors and textures may vary slightly. Images of dolls used in this post are property of Integrity Toys, Inc. and under their copyright.

Love the lace overlay and added beading to the lace! I am also really loving the chunky jewelry design. All in all a very elegant look. For some reason, this Natalia left me without a clear “ must have” which is weird. I totally go for the elegant and refined and this dress has it. The doll just left me “meh” though and not sure if it was the simplistic hairstyle ( more on that later) or the pale skin tone on a character that I prefer as sultry Latino. Love the jewelry though so may have to find that in the secondary market. As I write this I also realize that some of my lack of excitement over this one may be the use of black. I feel like IT overdosed on it’s use of black last year and here it is again…albeit as secondary colors but still…it’s black!

YAASSSSSSSS! Now we are talkin’. I saw this caramel tressed Kyori and felt the wallet open ( a chorus of angels may have struck a chord as well). I love the soft pastel color pallet!! Not a whiff of black here. I love the embroidered leather ( ok not real leather but still) and the edgy refinement of it. It feels forward and still elegant. This feels like Jason influence to me and I like it. Also, whoever is heading up the jewelry and accessory department at IT…HATS OFF!! Here we have another new design in earrings and its fabulous! Love the grey purse and sunglasses. The lavender shoes are EVERYTHING! Me likes. I am hoping Dania’s grey gloved hands of last year’s club doll will match this one.

Ok…so I have to admit my first thought on this one came straight from the “I’m a Mom of a 16 year old girl” and it said “ That skirt does not satisfy the fingertip rule”. Then I started paying attention to the details and felt better. First I looked at the doll. Gorgeous Dasha with beautiful smoky eyes pale blond hair. Stunning. The jacket is really quite detailed so I told the “mom” in me to sit down and reflect. I think this one will be amazing redressed and I have plans for that jacket ( maybe not with the skirt 
)

This one will be through IT Direct not dealers people. What did I notice about this doll first? The price!! Alain explained that this was done as tribute to the “basic doll” that IT has done in years past. I don’t know that there is anything really “basic” about this beauty. The price alone certainly has many interested. One pet peeve however…and this is the photographer in me but…the right eye on this lady is off ( left eye pupil is forward looking, right eye it is off to side). I am expectant and hopeful that in production this item is fixed. WClubbers, look for emails on how to acquire this one sometime in October.

A redheaded Luchia?!!! I’m in!! And she has cream skin tone. Me likes! The dress is very interesting. Feeling a little Valentino here but I have not researched so have no idea how close I am on that one. The yellow purse is certainly a pop of color in this one but I may switch that out. Also, while I love the industrial jewelry in this collection, I would go for something softer with this gown. Grey pearls maybe? Don’t know but will have fun trying things out.

Yes, yes…this gown is almost in retinal searage territory. My first question was…”Is it yellow or green yellow?” I am thinking it is more in the yellow category but photographs can be deceiving. Either way, I find myself admiring this one which surprises me because I am NOT a yellow fan. I ADORE the embroidery on this one and the fact that it is an homage to the house of Oscar de la Renta endears this one to me. I am also loving the auburn haired Eugenia with the pink/coral lips.

First of all…giftset with Elyse…no brainer for me. 1) Love, love, love the soft palette on this facial screening. I believe Jessy Ayala is in charge of all facial screenings now so..Jessy..LOVE! 2) How adorable is this lingerie set?!!…the bows…the bows..you had me at the bows 3) A Marchesa inspired gown!! 4) Another nod to the house of Oscar de la Renta. Sign me up, I’m in. I am not a huge fan of the high/low skirt with a suit but it’s not a deal breaker for me. If they had just had a pencil skirt in the same fabric as the jacket, this set would have been close to perfect for me. This was the first one in my shopping cart people…the very first.
But wait…there is more! There is always more with Integrity Toys. More, as in…event doll!

**Need to be WClub member to purchase this one**
THUD! Holy Cow collectors! I don’t think my fingers hesitated one single moment before hitting the “BUY” button on this one..and from what I am seeing from other WClubbers…they feel the same way. This one may be up there as one of the largest edition sizes in the history of the WClub. Edition size will be driven by WClub members who order and I know many are ordering multiples of this one. ( one per membership and many members have multiple memberships). Where do I start?! The dress…oh my word the dress! Pale peachy pink with beaded lace overlay. Ahhhhhh!!! –another chorus of angels is singing here. That adorable pink bow clutch! I am even liking the industrial necklace with this gown. I and many other WClubbers will be looking forward to the Winter ‘16’ delivery of this one. Please oh please let it be before Christmas!!! ( not likely but a girl can dream).
One final note that needs to be made about this collection is the very paleness of it. While I love that they gave us colors other than black in this collection ( yes, they really do listen to their collectors), they did not have any skin tone diversity in this collection. The yellow gown alone would have been stunning on an Adele. It left many collectors asking “where is the diversity?” A very valid question and one I hope Integrity addresses.
More Reveals..ITBE 16 inch and MLP ❤ coming up…….
Reigning Grace Revealed!
Back in April, Integrity Toys broke with tradition and released a sketch of a doll that was purportedly an indication of the theme for this year’s convention. See original blog post here.
This was the sketch released…..and here is the actual prototype…
Reigning Grace
Eugenia Perrin Frost™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
2015 Cinematic Convention Upgrade
Release Date: Approximately Early October 2015
I admit…I was one of those that paid attention more to the sketch than the reference to the movie on this one. I was thinking Eugenia was going to be brunette. Well “Duh” Rebecca…the actress this design was channeling was Grace Kelly! Grace, is blonde. Guess I should have known. Other than the fact that this is the third blonde in a black dress from IT this month, I LOVE her. Even though I am kind of disappointed in the blonde version ( would have preferred raven on this one), I am still buying. I will immediately switch out the silver necklace for pearls but the dress is out of the park gorgeous.
No information was released about skin tone on this one but she looks to be either Japan or Cream to me. Will have to wait and see.
Dusk Falls at Integrity Toys
For the past couple of years, Integrity Toys has sponsored a contest during their annual convention. It is a fashion design challenge. The judges for the competition are Jason Wu and his design team from Integrity Toys. The person who wins the competition has their design produced by Integrity Toys and it is offered up for sale in the following years collection. Pretty cool right? This past years convention design competition winner was Julia Leroy a very talented designer and photographer. She holds a masters in design so it is no surprise that she would bring those skills into her collecting. A most excellent design Julia!!! Thank you so much for sharing your designing talent and creativity with the collecting community.

2015 Fashion Royalty Collection Revealed
This past Saturday, Integrity Toys revealed 4 separate doll collections to their WClub members through the increasingly popular webinar. I wish I could say that things went well as years past but this year a few technical glitches meant that a portion of viewers did not get to see the webinar live. I was one of the lucky ones who had good video and audio during the entire thing but the messages on the forums right after the webinar brought to light that many attendees did not have that experience. Integrity Toys handled the situation about as well as anyone could. They acknowledged the issue, apologized for the problems and were very quick to get the recorded video out to those members who missed it within an hour after the webinar. Not only that, they had recap emails with pictures in WClub members email boxes within minutes of the webinar ending. Just goes to show, tech issues are not relegated to Mattel alone. Integrity Toys handled their situation better in my opinion though. People were still able to purchase product.
First collection up for review on ITFDS is the 2015 Fashion Royalty Collection. Vaughn Sawyer, senior designer with I.T. presented the line and explained that the direction from Jason Wu and inspiration for this years FR line was based on debutantes and socialites of the early 60’s. Chic, elegant, sophisticated were some of the buzz words used. I would also throw in subtle and understated in the mix to describe this collection. All good words in my opinion and right in line with what I like to collect. This collection is cohesive. Some may call it too subtle and understated…I would not agree but see their point.
Also, For those of you who are not WClub members and have not been in contact with dealers regarding these dolls, run don’t walk to your IT dealer and get on the list for anything you want. The grapevine reports that many of these dolls are rapidly approaching sell outs.

Love that they are including gloved hands with some of these. Also, it is amazing how little details just fill in the story. What do I love most about this navy and cream herringbone sheath? I love the little navy collar and the amazingly detailed designer belt in miniature. Don’t even get me started on the adorable shoes and bag. Also, this collection brings in a new set of sophisticated jewelry. Thanks I.T.!! Isha’s hair is braided according to Vaughn.

Do you love cloche hats? If so, this was your collection. It was definitely a highlighted accessory and shows up in multiple offerings. Plaid also seems to be a favorite print. Was plaid a 1960’s socialite/debutante staple?? Have no idea. While I love Natalia and was overjoyed to see her in a different hairstyle ( no blond waves!!), this outfit left me kind of “meh”. Then…they had to throw in the hot pink purse and shoes along with enamel earrings and silver ring. The accessories were the tipping point. I’m in.

More cloche hats and plaid people. I love the rose and khaki colors together. To me, the previous Natalia and this Eugenia say “Ladies lunch”. I adore the crossover ponytail that shows up multiple times I believe in this collection. Perhaps an influence from Jason’s past runway shows.
Hair from Jason Wu’s Fall 2013 runway show. ( picture is hilarious as woman in front of model gives off a Kilroy was here vibe LOL!)

To be honest, not a fan of the plaid coat but…am willing to go with it to get this chic black satin blouse with tone on tone black plaid pencil skirt. The light blue purse with little aqua accents and silver accessories puts this well into “what I like” category. I am hesitant on the lip color and am hoping it is not as purple in real life as it appears in photo. If I am wrong, a lip repaint will be in her future. Otherwise stunning face with beautiful eyes and gorgeous ash blond waves.
Fine Print
Elise Jolie™ Dressed Doll

Skin Tone: Cream
Hair Color: Red Amber
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
OK…first off…my favorite face mold is Elise. One of my favorite coat fashions is a shawl collar camel coat. This Elise is a redhead and she is carrying a cream color Birkin for pete’s sake. Game over….had me at Elise. The rest is just rich yummy gravy. I could go on and on about the camel gloved hands too. This was my favorite of the collection and the one “must have” for me of all the released doll information on Saturday. I believe Vaughn called this hairstyle a “tucked bob” in the webcast and this Elise is back to her original pale skin tone.
Fame Fable
Kyori Sato™ Dressed Doll

Hair Color: Bombshell Blond

Love the platinum blonde tresses on this version of Kyori. While the previous ladies revealed could all be doing “ladies lunch” this lady is all about dinner. She is all about dinner and perhaps an agenda after dinner. The sexy plunging neckline and clean simple accessories spell CHIC. The detail on that clutch is beyond amazing.
Timeless
Adèle Makéda™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
Limited Edition Size of 700 Dolls
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Early August
Suggested Retail Price: $135.00

Head Sculpt: Adèle 3.0
Body Type: FR 2013
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: Dark A-Tone
Hair Color: Black
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
If Kyori was chic and sophisticated dinner, this Adele would be frothy Cinderella princess gala evening. My first though and that of many others in the WClub was this was a direct channeling of Lupita N’yongo and her blue Prada gown from the 2014 Oscars. Indeed, all you would need to add is a silver headband to this Adele, and you would have Lupita ( well…you would need plunging neckline too). ADORE this Adele. Head to toe, a winner. Vaughn shared that this dress is all one piece for you redressers out there.
Perfect Reign
Tatyana Alexandrova™ Dressed Doll

Skin Tone: Japan
Hair Color: Honey Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Wowza! If Adele is the Cinderella of the collection, this Tatyana would be the Anna Karenina. No sweetness here…just sophistication and haughty Eastern European cheekbones LOL. LOVE the face on this one. Paired with this beautiful honey blond instead of black hair, she is a knockout. The redress potential on this one I predict will be very high. Can’t wait.
When IT does a webinar, they invariably offer up an event doll to club members. As this is Integrity Toy’s, 20th year and the 10th anniversary of the WClub, a special giftset was offered to WClub members.

The reception of this giftset has been lukewarm at best. Many are complaining of the high price point for this and I can see where they are coming from. Frankly, the polka dot dress doesn’t live up to the sophisticated look of this line. I much prefer the black and white polka dot gown we received on WClub luncheon Elise from 2012 Tropicalia convention. This particular Veronique has a very different look to her. She has cream skin tone which has never been used on a Vero before. All this being said, I think this might be one of those sleeper dolls. You know…the one that people pan at first then when it ships and people start photographing, people say “ Oh my word, I had no idea she could look that good!”. Time will tell.
Poppy Parker collection up next in a minute.
The Last WClub doll of 2013
Helloooooooo subscribers! No, I did not fall into a hole although it kind of feels like I did. I have multiple blog post devoted to what I have been up to coming up in the next week and there will be pictures. Suffice it to say…things have been a little crazy Inside The Fashion Doll Studio for the past two months.
Now that I have given you that little teaser, I need to share the photos and information that Integrity Toys released about the last WClub doll for 2013. They saved a beauty for the last one. If you are WClub member and have not purchased this one yet, you need to be quick. Your window of opportunity closes tomorrow December, 16th at 11:00AM EST.

I love the facial screening on this one. It is very neutral and soft…definitely my preference. I adore the accessories, especially the shoes. The dress…well…I will add my comments to what some of my fellow bloggers have already said and say it gives off a very generic pink label Barbie feel. Maybe it will improve upon in hand inspection but I am just not feeling it. I think I would have been much happier with a hemline that wasn’t asymmetrical and tricked out in ruffles and tulle. To me, this lady calls for something way more sophisticated and classic. Just my humble opinion. Does it mean I am not purchasing this one? Oh please….now what do you think? LOL! I believe the key word here will be REDRESS.
2012 ITFDS Favorites
At the end of each year, a flurry of photos floods Flickr and doll boards with groupings of collectors favorite dolls for the year. I always have these grand ideas of doing a group photo too and never seem to get around to it . This year, I had a flash of inspiration and decided I was going to MAKE the time to do it…so.. here it is. I was inspired by this years Vanity Fair Hollywood Edition.
In no particular order, my favorite dolls for 2012 are
1) Glam Addict Giselle
2) Gala Gown Silkstone Barbie
3) Fame by Frame Imogen
4) Lilac Frost Poppy Parker
5) High Profile Eugenia
Inspiration photo…..
HP Eugenia…More Redressing Fun
My camera and I don’t seem to be able to get enough of this lady in red so I have a few more shots to share from a day of redressing fun. My favorite set out of the three redresses is directly below. I love Hilda’s dress and the fact that Ms. Eugenia is waiting to enjoy a glass of wine and perhaps a picnic as if to celebrate the autumn season. Fall or Autumn ( however you call it) is one of my absolute favorite seasons…it means the holidays are right around the corner. I love the smell of leaves, the vibrant colors of the season and those crisp foggy mornings where shafts of sun ( if we see it at all in the Pacific Northwest) fight their way through the foggy curtain. It’s a dreamy sort of light and feel and I just adore it. Hope you enjoy the photos.

High Profile Eugenia…The Redress
Given that I saw old Hollywood when I saw this lady for the first time, it can come as no surprise that I went for glamour when it came to redressing her. When it came to a brunette with cherry red lips…there was only one color I wanted to go with…RED.

I was not one of the lucky few who was picked to purchase this lovely lady. I was, however, one of the lucky few blessed with knowing someone who wanted to sell theirs. You know who you are and I love ya! This lady just screams old Hollywood glamour…I see Eva Gardner, Jane Russel or even Sophia Loren
