Regal Estate Agnes Von Weiss From Oz

I may have mentioned several times previously that Agnes is not a favorite sculpt of mine. I've tried them all but have never been able to warm up to any version except Firefly, also from Oz.
This is the most beautiful Agnes yet. She comes dressed in an elegant and conservative-looking suit of black and beige. I have removed her patterned black tights which, in my opinion, interfered with the delicacy of the fashion and did not fit well in the shoes.
I was worried about removing the hair net but her hair is done well and isn't over processed or stiff.

The jewelry is a twisty cluster of blue/black beads. Earrings are gold colored metal with a bluish rhinestone. I love the clear vinyl shoes and they definitely did not fit well over the tights.


Remove the jacket and a beautiful little black dress changes everything. She goes from day to night. Gorgeous!
Agnes Regal Estate was $195. There was no charge for shipping due to the W Club free shipping coupon. She was a little pricey for a doll with few accessories and a basic outfit but she was a convention souvenir and I definitely have a place for her in my collection.
