I have my two Belles on a Liv Sophie body and an articulated Princess body respectively. She works very nicely on a Liv body actually though you might have to add some masking tape to her head knob to get it to work. The Liv body suits her well I think. Disney girls tend to be a little on the petite side compared to Barbie and they look very balanced on Liv bodies. I must admit the new Belle face isn't doing much for me though. I like the older Belle face with the slight no teeth smile better. It's such a sweet face. I'm going to miss it.
I have two Belle dolls. One is a Springtime doll of some sort. She's got a lighter Spring makeup palette of some sort, all soft pinks and greens. The other one was a Christmas Belle and she's just the opposite, all jewel tones and deep wine lips. I have a couple of Ariels, a Cinderella and an Aurora too, but nobody else Disney yet unless you count the 18" Pocahontas I'm saving for a repaint some day. Mostly I tend to grab those at the thrift only if they're articulated. I like to use their bodies.
The Cinderella I got a couple of weeks ago is this year's though I think. She was practically brand new except for not having her shoes. I can't believe I actually found her at that thrift though. Half my life I've shopped there and never yet a Barbie type dolls. Actually make that 3 Belle dolls. There was an articulated Belle too. Her hair was messed up though. I totally forgot about her. She went into the re-root box. She's older, got the half smile, but she's got the normal makeup for a Belle as I recall...
