>>7800478>At least Meg and Esmeralda looked good They are starting to go cheap on the fabric they use on the LE designer dolls as well.
In the past you would touch the fabric and it was silky soft just like the classic doll dresses. About a few years ago me and another anon in these threads started to notice that the fabric being used on the classic dolls was getting a little stiff, and brittle to the touch. You would think that they would of course use the higher quality fabric for the $140 12" designer dolls, but that simply isn't the case. I touched Esmeralda's dress and was bummed to feel that they were using the cheaper fabric on them. Most if not all of the golden details were printed/ironed on.
They only legit embroidered details on the Esmeralda doll were on her scarf shawl.
