Harrods Disney Store LE Aurora Set #071 - Blue

Thanks to a wonderful friend of mine in the UK, I was able to add the glorious Disney Store LE Aurora set from the Harrods store in London. This is set #071/100.

 

I had already thought that the global versions of LE 5000 pink Aurora and LE 4000 blue Aurora were beautiful and well made, but the Harrods set does actually surpass them by leaps and bounds just with the subtly added details. I was entranced by the fabulous deboxed pictures of the Harrods dolls by DRJ1828, which revealed that the Harrods dolls were given much fuller skirts with more chiffon and 8 velvet panels (as opposed to the 5 satin panels on the global edition dolls), and of course the Harrods dolls have a plethora of more gemstones on the skirts and flowing sleeves. The velvet panels actually add an amazing amount of texture and depth of color to these already lovely gowns. The skirts actually look even more like flowers.

 

The differences between the Harrods LE Aurora dolls and the global editions are probably not significant enough to justify purchasing the pricey Harrods set for most Disney collectors, but for fans of Aurora, the Harrods set is really a must-have. Also, the usage of more varied fabrics of brocade, satin, chiffon, and velvet do bring the Harrods Aurora dolls a step closer to the past glory of the earliest Disney Store LE dolls: LE Snow White and LE Tiana.
