Hi Randall and all, I liked the Front Row at the Spring Show fashion too. I am notorious for removing/resewing things on the FA. Also, if you can find them, some of the older FAs are really better than the new ones.

Here is a web site that list all the know FAs
The winter one on this page

Looks fabulous on Candi. I have Asian dressed in it, and oh wow! I also use the dress from Speigals Shopping Chic doll (gold lame' tight sheath) frequently on my dolls. Candi does wonders for anything with a knit top. Haven't had time to try it yet, but the Quick change one with the zebra print

will probably work pretty well too. The sheath reverses to a zebra print too.
I usually use the shoes as is, but for my OOAKs I have been doing a lot of shoe remakes, so if you want any info on how to do that, just let me know. I have also doctored up some of the purses. I had one that had a plain black hat box type purse with a leopard print outfit, so I glued a couple of rounds of faux fur I had that were leopard print on it, and it looks great now. I am a firm believer in PLAYING with dolls. Go for it!

P.S. Hit my K-mart yesterday and they didn't have even ONE Integrity doll. I was so bummed.

Thanks again for the tip Pat. I bought two Fashion Avenues today, one called Tokyo beat and one called Front Row at the Spring Show. I liked Tokyo Beat's shirt but I removed the thing in the front (I guess I could call it lining) and the velcro. I really like the dress to Front Row but hate how they just sew across the top of the bows so I removed that stitching and the velcro. Now I need to put snaps in place of the velcro. Hate all the shoes and acessories but once I'm done fixing these peices I think I'll be content. Perhaps I'll make to to TRU tomorrow ... BTW folks, my collecting is taking a new turn and I am going to be selling some of my dolls! I'll send a FS list to candichat with some of them tonight.
