A lot of things about this doll reminds me of Japanese fashion dolls. The golden hair is the fine, supershiny fibers used in Japan, and the skin is the same delicate pink color often used in those dolls. Her hair is cut in a classy chin-length bob with a rooted side part. Ashley has simply painted teal eyes. Her eyebrows are thin and straight. Her eyes have neutral shadow and her lips are a soft mauve. Her face is slightly rounder than most fashion dolls produced for the domestic market, which is also reminiscent of Japanese dolls. Her silver button earrings are removable.

Ashley is 11 inches tall. Her body sports a combination of features seen elsewhere. Her arms are fully jointed at shoulder and elbow, allowing a wide range of poses. The elbow joints are somewhat awkward looking (see photo below). She has a simple twist waist. Her legs have a slightly arched heel, similar to Teen Skipper's, and have three sturdy clicks. Her feet are close enough in size that she can wear most Teen Skipper shoes and some Barbie shoes. Overall her proportions are similar to those of a Mattel doll, with slightly bigger hips and waist and a somewhat less pronounced chest. One word of warning: the shoes are banded on tightly, leaving marks on her ankles, so she should be deboxed right away!
