Guide Review
Tyler Wentworth has taken the fashion doll market for adult fashion dolls by storm.  Tyler is 16" tall, made out of high-quality porcelain-like vinyl.  Tyler's "story" has her as a fashion designer in New York City, and many of the themes for the outfits revolve around that persona.  Tyler is produced as a basic doll that you can buy separate outfits for (dressed as you see above, or in a swim suit) or as a dressed doll in a complete and generally limited outfit.   The outfits are of the highest quality and incorporate luxurious fabrics such as cashmere, silk, camel, embroidered and beaded fabrics.  You won't find very much in basic polyester for your Tyler dolls.  Although dressed dolls can be expensive--many are over $150 each--the basic dolls can be purchased for under $80 and the outfits are available for generally between $40 and $100.  The current "basic" doll features bendable knees and elbows.  You can also buy patterns for your Tyler doll. And, there are several additional characters in Tyler Wentworth's world that can share outfits with Tyler, including Sydney Chase (an "older" character) and Esme (an African American character--a model!)
