She's the Disney Animator's Collection Sleeping Beauty Toddler doll. (Could that name be any longer?!)
You may have noticed that in the first picture she's holding something in her hand...sort of. It's her friend the owl,as in the movie. The Animator's dolls come with a small stuffed toy. Ariel has a Flounder, He doesn't really sit on her hand very well.Rapunzel has her chameleon,Jasmine has her tiger. You get the idea. The owl doesn't fake sitting on her hand well at all. He has a plastic loop on his back to hang him from her wrist by.
I love the Animator's dolls,so I was really excited to find this girl at a Goodwill store. She was a bit more expensive than I would usually pay for a used Animator's doll. Most of the ones I have found at Goodwill were about $3,and yard sale ones were even less. But this girl was complete with all her clothes,shoes,socks, and her owl. So, I was grudgingly willing to pay the $6.99 for her.
These dolls can tilt their heads a little, and look up...
...and down.
Her outfit consists of a one piece dress/corset combo...
...with faux lacing up the front,and eyelet lace trim on the skirt...
It closes in the back with Velcro.
Underneath it all she has painted on underwear.

To finish off her outfit, she has black Mary Jane shoes and white anklets. Her shoes are rubber,and slide on.
She also has a grosgrain ribbon headband. It has elastic at the back. When I got her she had a ponytail. Her hair needed redone anyway, so before I washed her I took her ponytail down. It was then, just before I threw it away, that I realized her ponytail elastic was actually her headband! Fortunately I realized in time, because I always throw away old used hair bands I get on dolls. (Yuck.)
See those bangs? Those things were a challenge...which I didn't win. They are LONG. They probably reach down past her neck. When I did her hair I needed to curl those things. Unfortunately my house is bereft of curlers. Not a one in the place. Ironically, I had just bought Ivy TWO PACKS of curlers, but she took them to college with her. I'm not much on doing hair, as I have said many times. I am really bad with hair. So I would have done bad enough with the curlers. But without, I did a pretty sorry job of it. Luckily I had left enough conditioner in her hair that her bangs stuck in place a bit. For a while.
At one point during her photo shoot her bangs got hung on the sweet pea pods and,well...
But by now they are really starting to droop anyway. She's starting to look like Chrissie Hynde.
The rest of her hair turned out very nice though. It's quite long, with curls.
There's also a long curled piece at one side, which is not supposed to be tucked back in the headband with the rest of the hair.
I didn't do too badly with that.
You'll notice my finger in the photo above. I found she was harder to balance and make stand than the other animator's dolls I have.
Speaking of the other Animator's doll,you may have seen some of mine in previous posts. If not, you can find my Goodwill rescue Merida HERE,my mini Animator's Alice HERE,my review of Frozen's Kristoff HERE,my Goodwill rescue Elsa HERE, and my Anna HERE.
Those bangs. They started out so nice. Oh well. They really needed a curling anyway.
That's the doll for today.
- See you tomorrow for another doll.
