Custom Truly Me 90 American Girl Doll

Image
  Several weeks ago I bought the TM90 on sale (in another post ) so that I could make a custom mini me. However, when she arrived, she was a lot darker than I had expected. I learned that her skin tone is 10, which I wanted 5. So I ended up making a mini me with a tlc Blaire (in another post ). And so I decided instead to give her Evette's wig and outfit and add blush and freckles. I absolutely love how she turned out. I think I'm obsessed with freckles because so far, every single doll I have now has freckles. 😬 TM90 TM 90 Closeup Evette's wig and added freckles Evette's Outfit After buying Evette's wig and clothes, I paid $142 total.  The TM90 doll was on sale for $64.  I paid $30 for the wig, $5 for the boots, $18 for the dress, $25 for the jacket, purse, and sunglasses.  I did sell the blue wig for $20, so the adjusted price paid is $122.  Evette brand new with the accessories sells for $195 with shipping on ebay, $142 without the accessories.

These were the three things I needed to complete the collection.  Since last month they had a 50% off sale on nearly all of Courtney's collection, I bought it all!  I just needed these three.  So I asked on a facebook group.  Many people were willing to sell one item to me for a lot more than the original retail price.  On ebay, some listings were $50 for one item!  One sweet lady reached out to me and offered all three for the retail price.  I basicall
