Yes, the key to putting on long fingerless gloves is removing the hands, AND squeezing the hand into the glove from the other side, where the four fingers are supposed to go. This way, the fabric slides into place very smoothly. Works only with fingerless gloves though, the regular ones just lay around unused Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656382290522929215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-79476294922891268332014-03-13T19:48:55.999-04:002014-03-13T19:48:55.999-04:00Hey Emily, if you look at Evangeline's family ...Hey Emily, if you look at Evangeline's family tree on the wildeimagination website it mentions that the big hands are a family trait.Alice Anne Faithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-47191312136742543372014-03-09T18:25:11.462-04:002014-03-09T18:25:11.462-04:00I have several Evangeline dolls and Parnilla.

I have been a fan of this doll for a while now, as I love the blend of high fashion, gothic mystery and the refinement of Tonner's sculpting. Despite the current taste in the doll market for monsters, I agree with you she remains unique. But I am really disappointed by the look of the newer versions.

I wasn't sure about the new body but it seems fairly posable. I am a little concerned about the inability to stand tho since I don't own any doll stands and she doesn't come with one. Considering the hefty price I don't see why they can't throw in a stand that retails for $15.<inviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022664354273140208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-12156471249026902562012-10-19T06:40:17.068-04:002012-10-19T06:40:17.068-04:00Thanks Emily, you're amazing :DThanks Emily, you're amazing :D<br />Dailey_Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740086073795347394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-36723862624688263262012-10-18T19:04:30.246-04:002012-10-18T19:04:30.246-04:00Thank you!
