Party Stripes Cami on Polyvore

Party Stripes by alison-boyd-rasmussen featuring a striped shirt

Just for fun--here's a fashion set from Polyvore based on Tonner's Party Stripes Cami. In case you want to cosplay with a Tonner Doll, I've made it easy for you!

I've recently discovered Polyvore, after avoiding it for many years, for fear of yet another social website that would be a time sink, and it turns out I was right! But I just love it. Come follow me on there, and join the fun!

Tonner Mainline release - Cami & Jon

Tonner has released the remainder of its mainline dolls, and surprisingly, there were no additions to the Tyler Wentworth line. I like much of the Cami & Jon collection, and the prices are quite low.

Above, it's Party Lace Cami, a pretty blonde cameo skin tone with blue eyes. She's wearing a black lace cocktail dress with peach lining, nude panties and black sandals. $149.99, LE300, shipping 5/2/2014.

Party Bold Jon is reminiscent of the old Jaq head sculpt with her brown eyes, mink hair and honey skin tone. She's wearing a dress with a stretch knit bodice and cotton striped skirt, nude panties and sandals. $149.99, LE300, shipping 5/2/2014.

Party Stripes Cami has red hair, green eyes on the cameo skin tone. She's wearing a striped shirt, green stretch knit skirt and panties, with black strappy sandals. $149.99, LE300, shipping 5/2/2014.

Party Print Liu Liu has a wigged raven bob, hazel eyes on a cameo skin tone body. She's dressed in a floral chiffon dress, and includes nude panties and tan sandals. $149.99, LE300, shipping 5/2/2014.

New release from Tonner Doll Company

Tonner Doll Company has released the remaining pieces of its Fall/Holiday collection for 2013. Here's the first portion--several photos aren't yet available.

From the American Models collection, there is a new Fairytale Basic doll for $299.99, LE300. Arrival date is to be announced. Her photo is shown above. She's wigged (including the blonde wig shown and an additional short brown wig as well) with inset hazel/green eyes. Additionally, there will be another doll, Constance, in a blue and silver brocade princess style gown with chestnut hair, inset blue eyes and the lily skin tone, LE200, for $449.99, with a shipping date to be determined.

Four new basic dolls have been added to the Cami & Jon collection. Resort Stripe Basic Cami is available as blonde or mink, plus Jon and Liu Liu are also available. Each is $119.99 and include removable wigs, acrylic strappy sandals, and painted eyes. The stands are sold separately.

One dressed doll, Spring Frost Cami, is absolutely gorgeous. She's wigged with brown eyes, and includes a gorgeous brocade dress with fringe trime, a twill lurex coat, nude hose, and beaded jewelry. Her shoes are really cool, too. She's limited to 300 and retails for $209.99. Shipping is TBA.

Two outfits are also available. Above, Summer Lace is limited to 300 and retails for $99.99. It will ship on October 25. It includes a feathered taffeta hat, and chiffon and open lace dress, beaded earrings and faux leather shoes.

Below, Chelsea Chill is a nautical inspired outfit for $99.99. Shipping is TBA on this LE300 set. It includes a black bodysuit, black and white skirt, fuchsia coat and black faux leather shoes. It also retails for $99.99.

A new basic has also been added to the Precarious collection. Precarious White Basic wears a black removable wig and has blue painted eyes with applied lashes. She has a white knit dress, white strappy sandals, panties, sunglasses, and is limited to 500. Her ship date is TBA. Her stand is sold separately.

Two new items have also been added to the Tyler Wentworth collection. Chase#5 makes a new appearance--I believe she is a resculpted version of Shauna, as that is what the model below, Warm-up Basic Shauna, is called. She's limited to 500 and retails for $119.99. She looks a lot like her, too, including gorgeous flame and chestnut blended hair in a traditional wrapped ponytail. Shipping date is to be announced.

Above, City Tweed also uses this new sculpt. She has blue eyes and a non-removable mink wig. She wears a tweed coat dress, black petticoat, gloves, tights, beaded necklace, and faux leather shoes. She includes a stand, is LE300, and retails for $219.99, with her shipping TBA.

These items are available for preorder now. I suggest you check out Dreamcastle Dolls.

New Cami & Jon and Antoinette by Tonner

Several fabulous new additions to the Antoinette and Cami & Jon line have also been announced by Tonner Doll this morning. If you haven't yet discovered these doll for your own collection--the quality is just fantastic, and many of the outfits look just smashing on other fashion resin dolls, such as Sybarite and JAMIEshow.

I'm starting with my favorite, Shimmer. She uses a delicious honey skin tone with side glancing brown eyes and brown rooted hair, pulled back in a bump ponytail. Her facial screening reminds me a lot of Flourish (real life photos coming soon!), and her outfit will look fantastic next to Soho Sheer Cami. It's a draped lamé dress with laced up shoes, and gold beaded earrings. She's limited to 250 and retails for $174.99. I think she's amazing!

Manhattan Mood is an outfit which retails for $79.99 and is limited to 300. This mod style chiffon dress has open shoulders, and includes a white slip, black lace tights, silver earrings and a rhinestone necklace. Also included are the gunmetal grey faux leather shoes.

My oh my, I think I hear Sheilah from San Diego! New York Night is indeed a beauty. (She really reminds me of the original Cinderella sculpt for some reason--it's the outfit--it's a modern day Cinderella!) She's limited to 300 and retails for $159.99. Blonde hair, gorgeous green eyes, and cameo skin tone, she is dressed in a gorgeous white taffeta dress with light blue and silver overlay, petticoat, a white belt with rhinestone buckle, lace bolero, and white fingerless gloves, and silver shoes. Adorable!

Definitely Downtown is a new Gina head sculpt, limited to 300, retail $179.99. She has wigged brown hair with red highlights, green eyes, and the Tyler skin tone. She is wearing bronze faux leather pants, a white faux fur coat, gold stretch knit top, chain belt, and brown shoes.

Always Some Place To Go is a limited edition of 300, retail $99.99. This outfit includes a beige lace mermaid style gown with multi-colored lace accents and beaded details, rhinestone bracelet and earrings, and beige open-toe pumps.

Perfect Morning Jon is limited to 500 and retails for $119.99. She has rooted brown hair, blue eyes and the honey skin tone. She is wearing a one-piece jersey shortsuit with white taffeta bow belt and black elastic shoes.

Perfect Morning Cami also is limited to 500 and retails for $119.99. She has blue/grey eyes and red hair on a came skin tone body. She is dressed in the same shortsuit as Jon. This doll will also be available as a brunette and as a blonde with blue/grey eyes, with photos forthcoming.

Soho Sheer Cami - better photos

Soho Sheer Cami, a photo by alington on Flickr.

A few "real" photos of Soho Sheer Cami from Tonner Doll Company - and you can see a few more photos on my Flickr photostream.

She is really a gorgeous girl. I just can't express how thrilled I am with her hair! I adore her soft curls in the perfect shade of blonde. She reminds me so much of the Gold Label Cami I didn't get when I had the chance a couple of years ago.

Her facial screening is neutral and smokey, with eyelashes only at the sides. I really like how it's been done. I might add a little Liquitex to her eyes and lips, but she has a really nice shimmer to her lips already.

Her jewelry - just fabulous.

And again - she's sold out from Tonner Direct, so if you are hoping to add her to your collection, pick her up from your favorite dealer soon. Here are a few who still have her in stock:

Dreamcastle Dolls
Angelic Dreamz
Cherished Friends
Two Daydreamers
Toni's Collectibles

Soho Sheer Cami IRL

Even more lovely in person, Soho Sheer Cami by Tonner Doll is in stock and shipping. She is apparently sold out at Tonner Doll, but she is still available from many dealers, including Dreamcastle Dolls, Angelic Dreamz, Toni's Collectibles, Two Daydreamers, and Cherished Friends.

She retails for $169.99 and is a limited edition of 300. She has blue grey eyes, rooted golden blonde hair with gorgeous soft curls with not too much gel (my iPhone photos are of the doll just out of the box), and she uses the Cami/Cinderella sculpt an a Cameo skin tone Antoinette body. 

She is wearing a two-layered dress: a silver lamé tank dress beneath golden chiffon. Her jewelry is gorgeous--a multi-strand necklace with beads, beaded earrings and a bracelet. And her fantastic buckled boots zip up in the back (so no tears or broken buckles when putting them on!).

You can see a few more candid shots on Flickr, but I'll try to do a for-real photo shoot soon, too. I just love her wonderful summer look!

The Flamingo

The Flamingo, a photo by alington on Flickr.

The souvenir doll from the Flights of Fancy Tonner Convention banquet, The Flamingo, uses the Cami sculpt on an Antoinette body. She's limited to 300 dolls, and she has blonde hair in a braided up-do and blue side-glancing eyes.

She is my very first Cami, and I could not have been more pleased to add this girl to my collection. Pink, glittering tulle, ribbons, feathers, and just a touch of pale blue on the underskirt make this off-the-shoulder gown a true princess dress.

Gold strappy heels, pink rhinestone stud earrings, and a feathered headpiece complete her look.

Check out more photos of her on Flickr.
