Abstract

A doll includes a body having a torso, and a bodice or garment member is coupled to the torso. The bodice or garment member includes an outer layer having a plurality of facets configured to resemble a cut gemstone. In one embodiment, the torso includes a recess in which the bodice is located.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A doll, comprising:
 a body including a torso, the torso defining a recess; and   a bodice coupled to the torso, the bodice being disposed within the recess, the bodice including a transparent outer layer having a plurality of exteriorly disposed facets.   
     
     
         2 . The doll of  claim 1 , wherein the bodice includes a backing layer intermediate the outer layer and the torso. 
     
     
         3 . The doll of  claim 2 , wherein the backing layer has an outer surface that is reflective such that light passing through the outer layer is reflected off the backing layer back through the outer layer. 
     
     
         4 . The doll of  claim 1 , wherein the outer layer has an outer surface having the exteriorly disposed facets and an inner surface with a plurality of facets formed therein. 
     
     
         5 . The doll of  claim 4 , wherein the facets formed in the outer surface are offset from the facets in the formed in the inner surface. 
     
     
         6 . The doll of  claim 4 , wherein the quantity of facets formed in the outer surface is less than the quantity of facets formed in the inner surface. 
     
     
         7 . The doll of  claim 1 , wherein the outer layer includes an inner surface and the bodice includes a reflective backing layer, the backing layer is proximate to the inner surface, and the backing layer has an outer surface with a plurality of facets formed therein. 
     
     
         8 . The doll of  claim 7 , wherein the facets of the backing layer are aligned with facets formed in the inner surface of the outer layer. 
     
     
         9 . The doll of  claim 7 , wherein the facets in the outer surface of the outer layer are offset from the facets of the backing layer. 
     
     
         10 . The doll of  claim 1 , wherein the bodice includes a backing layer formed from a metal foil. 
     
     
         11 . The doll of  claim 1 , wherein the outer layer is formed from a thermoplastic material. 
     
     
         12 . The doll of  claim 1 , wherein the bodice is configured to resemble a cut gemstone. 
     
     
         13 . The doll of  claim 1 , wherein the outer layer has a non-uniform thickness. 
     
     
         14 . A doll body, comprising:
 a torso having:
 a torso portion; 
 an outer layer coupled to the torso portion, the outer layer having an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface containing a plurality of facets formed therein; and 
 a reflective layer located proximate to the inner surface of the outer layer, at least a portion of the reflective layer being located between the outer layer and the torso portion. 
   
     
     
         15 . The doll body of  claim 14 , wherein the outer layer is formed from one of a translucent or a transparent material. 
     
     
         16 . The doll body of  claim 14 , wherein adjacent facets of the plurality of facets are angularly disposed relative to each other. 
     
     
         17 . The doll body of  claim 14 , wherein the reflective layer is formed of a metal foil. 
     
     
         18 . The doll body of  claim 14 , wherein the reflective layer conforms to the inner surface of the outer layer, and the outer layer is configured to resemble a cut gemstone. 
     
     
         19 . A doll, comprising:
 a body having a torso; and   a bodice coupled to the torso, the bodice including an outer layer with a plurality of planar facets, adjacent ones of the plurality of planar facets being angularly disposed relative to each other, thereby forming the appearance of a gemstone.   
     
     
         20 . The doll of  claim 19 , wherein the plurality of planar facets includes a first group of facets and a second group of facets, adjacent facets of the first group of facets are angularly disposed relative to each other within a first angular range, and adjacent facets of the second group of facets are angularly disposed relative to each other within a second angular range, the second angular range being different than the first angular range.
