This has been addressed with eBay, and a topic on the Facebook page. Mel has also reached out and is aware. Please know these are not rare, new, sample or young designer outfits, only dyed (albeit good) by them, with fantasy storylines. As you can see they have made a nice profit.

Dyed outfits are beautiful as Sandra and Harry Klein among others have done to perfection. But never passed off as anything but what they were. Just be aware

I saw these and just shook my head.

A dye job may be well done, but it can still look truly dreadful on a doll ...

I was just as shocked looking at closeups of the doll faces and seeing some very crude repainting.

She's gone so far as to make fake Ashton Drake certificates. I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt until this.

having the prefix to their bogus number be a "JS" clearly the demarcation of a Jamieshow Gene.

It’s her initials actually

Glad to know this isn’t going under the radar.

What got my attention was “Georgia” msg

The implication this was student design was wrong. Trish and Joan were so involved with those kids, and now that documentation,
files etc are not around, it could very well be passed off as such. That got the ball rolling. The seller is very persistent she has done nothing wrong, and I personally was just jealous of her photos. eBay will handle it by Wednesday.

All she has to do was accurately describe what she is selling. But, that isn’t worth $200-$400, so she hasn’t. This is the same with all fast moving collectibles, like Funko and autographs, but dolls also have appeal on emotional levels, and people use that. Just wrong.

As mentioned above, Sandra has done fantastic copies for collectors, and sells them as such, which is the way to do it. She is a gold standard for that.

They do some similar stunts with Madame Alexander clothes as well.

People don't know, and there are few current references available with which to check.

Thank you for this post, Lori. You are performing a valuable service.
