But... how would I get off her shoes? >_> The company seems to have made it so you can see they are removeable... but not without breaking the strap. So basicaly "lol you aren't removing these."
Yes, they are tough to remove, but it's possible. Just very slowly wriggle her foot, a millimeter at a time, gently but firmly, and she'll eventually pop out of the shoe without breaking the strap. (Though if the shoe's rubber/vinyl is stressed due to age or use, it might break----just be really careful.)
She's such a pretty doll---I just wish they didn't make her original outfit so dark! I know it's super dark in the anime, but....I always preferred her in the more accurate lighter true aqua/teal than 'black-teal.' I recently made mine a more accurate 'Visions Mirror' too with a teeny tiny sculpted lady on the side. (Well, hopefully it LOOKS like a little lady!) :laughs:
Thank you for the tip!
