Fashion dolls really are modern day goddess icons. I think that the fact that they remain so popular with adult collectors is that they connect with ideas about femininity and beauty that are a deep part of our consciousness.

This dress makes a great high fashion basic with its simple silhouette featuring an exaggerated hip. With a bit of added embroidery she is a modern echo of an ancient goddess.There are many striking details out there to be discovered and added.
