Glittering Gala Evelyn Weaverton
I didn't preorder any East59 dolls since I wanted to see FR and NuFace collection. However, these dolls arrived just before those collections were revealed. IRL pics looked very nice, so I decide to get this Evelyn (and maybe later Captivating Cocktails Constance). The sculpt of this doll is probably the only reason why I got her. The contour of her chin is exceptional, as well as her cheekbones. She reminds me on Elise a lot! Wouldn't it be marvelous if she was introduced as Mademoiselle Jolie? Or Elise's sister?
East59 dolls have new bodies (I will share my thoughts on that in next post). I would prefer if they were on Monogram or FR body, I need those fuller thighs.
The first thing probably everyone noticed is the new box. It is very well made and it has magnet closure, just like older boxes had. The inner part is made of plastic (do not know what to think about that). I really hope FR and NuFace dolls will have similar boxes, current ones are pretty boring. The missed opportunity here is the inclusion of story cards.
Makeup/Hairstyle: I just love short haired dolls, this one even have widows peak, so I really love the look. The makeup is really lovely. I usually want to add something, but this one is perfect. Her eyebrows are the ones I prefer, straight and mean looking. Although in the storyline Evelyn is a good girl, she looks pretty malicious to me - poor Constance :) Now, her head is pretty big, in fact it looks out of proportion with her body. I think her jaw is too wide. That is my only complain.
Outfit/Accessories: I wasn't impressed with her outfit when she was announced, I think other girls got better outfits. The dress is too busy for my taste and she comes with plastic shoes, which are good only for a beach or something similar and not gala night. The necklace and earrings are very, very pretty. However, the dress and jewelry together just look too much. Now, if the dress came without sequins, I think I would like it much more. It is all about transformation for these East59 ladies, and this Evelyn is no exception. You can add the train to the dress and make it an evening gown. The train is actually very nicely made, but I have some other ideas for it... Evelyn comes with two pairs of long gloves. The exciting thing about them is they are made of different fabric than the ones we got in the past. They are easier to put on and you will not tear them. The fabric they used is similar to the one they use for tights.
Overall: If you like this type of body, I would highly recommend this doll to you. The accessories add so much fun to the game and Evelyn here is a classic beauty. However, if you prefer taller bodies, I would suggest to look for the head and the outfit.
