This Tonner Doll Company 2005 Candescence Sydney outfit was obtained without the doll, as part of a trade, and is a limited edition of 1,500.  Candescence includes a silky gown in butter yellow and heavily-embroidered white, a pair of hose, the original strappy white sandals, and three floral hair ornaments.  It was made for the old Articulated body, and is shown here on Buster, my headless standard-bust bendy-wrist Stunt Tonner.  It has a few flaws, including that there isn't any jewelry-- although I think I have the bracelet, the elastic has died-- and while the shoes seem to be in good condition, I was too leery of messing them up to put them on Buster.  There are also a couple of stray threads right at the neckline of the bodice that don't appear to do anything, but I didn't try to remove.  However, the gown itself is spectacular with game attempts at pattern-matching on the skirt, and I did turn the three flowers into hairpins using straight pins (though on most Tonner dolls, I'd recommend inserting them using pliers), so those are still useable despite being snipped free of the original hairstyle.  Candescence will come in a padded envelope, but I am willing to upgrade to a small box at the winning bidder's request-- provided the winning bidder is willing to pay any difference in shipping.

Please let me know if you want the probable-bracelet.

I am selling this item as a favor for my aging mother, who is trying to pare down her collection.  Her items also come from a smoke-free, pet-friendly home, but I do not always know everything about how she stored or displayed her collectibles (and she doesn't enjoy doll organization quite as much as I do).  Be sure to look closely at all the photos and read the descriptions closely; I will try to be as detailed as possible.


Any stands, stools, or chairs are not included and are for photography purposes only-- unless otherwise stated above.

All items are from a smoke-free, cat-friendly home.  For your safety, if you have allergies, please assume whatever you're buying from me has come into contact with cat hair and/or dander.  Penelope and Theodore don't specifically target the dolls, but they DO target flat surfaces, tall furniture, and whatever I'm doing that isn't paying attention to them.

Due to one too many lost sales, bidders with a feedback score between 0 and 10 must contact me within 24 hours of bidding or risk having their bid canceled.  I'm happy to sell to new members!  Just let me know you're a real person and not a bot, young child, or particularly clever pet.

My guaranteed shipping day is Tuesday.  I may be able to ship more often, but if all else fails, your order will ship the Tuesday after you pay.  Payment is due three business days after auction close by 5pm Pacific time, and I will open an unpaid item dispute at that point-- unless you contact me before then to make other arrangements.  (I'm happy to make other arrangements, and I would rather wait for your deposit to clear or cancel a sale on your say-so than file an unpaid item dispute after three days of radio silence, so please do contact me if you need more time.)

Yes, I do combine shipping whenever possible!  No need to request it, just wait for an invoice after all my auctions for the day have closed.  Rarely, I may not be able to combine large items into one box, and I will let you know if this is the case. 

Monster High diaries will NOT be shipped with tracking or insurance unless purchased in quantities of four or more, so that I can continue to offer them with free shipping.

Total purchases costing over $150 will be insured at no additional cost to the buyer; if your purchase is less than $150 and you'd like insurance, please let me know before paying.  International packages can't always be insured.

I'm always happy to ship internationally if I can, but any additional import costs (such as VAT) are the buyer's responsibility.  I will not falsify customs forms.
