Barbie Divergent Tris doll head swap with Disney Belle Beauty and Beast doll

It has been a month since I posted anything. I have had some not doll related things to do called work. I did work on a Disney Belle doll a little bit when I could. I washed a ton of glue out of her hair and it's still stiff. I liked the style so I left it a little bit stiff to hold the big curl. I touched up her color and gave her a Divergent Tris Barbie body. That way she can pose well and wear Barbie things. The skin color looks good with the doll head. I pierced her ears too. 
The Divergent Tris body is very poseable. I love the delicate Barbie hands on this doll. Her fingers are not all together like Made to Move. I tried a bunch of Barbie shoes on her to make sure she wears lots of Barbie things. Her old body could fit a few of the Barbie shoes but not all. It seems her feet were wider.
 The hairline is still a bit harsh. I think I would like to work on it more. I added some little wisps to the sides, using false eyelashes. 
 I really love the French braid and big curl. 
 I love the Barbie hands that have some separate fingers. I noticed even Made to Move has the hands with fingers all together. 
 Barbie heels fit the doll well. She can't wear flats but that's okay. I like her.
 The Divergent doll body has shorter looking feet. I did notice a bit of difference in her feet and the other Barbies I have. Some shoes look like her feet got trimmed off. I still like her. 

I noticed the legs are strung together inside with something that looks like a black rubber band. I really loved this, because her range of motion is really great. I always wondered what's inside Barbie's legs. This is one I can see. It rained a little while I was working outside. I got little drops of water in my pictures. 
Her old body I tried to fix.
 Her knees are wide apart when sitting no matter what I did to her legs.

Now that I found the body I want for my Belle, I want to continue to dress her and call her Belle.
