Paris Chic: Cute Dress Up game

Paris Chic App for iPhone
     Remember the application I reviewed a while back called Emily's Wardrobe?  This application is very reminiscent of that.  However, it is not made by the same people.  This is an application brought to you by the creators of Chibi Me.
     The artwork is very soft and cute.  I really enjoy the look of this application.  With the exception of some of the clothing.  You can see in the screen shots that some of the clothing is very... poorly done.  For example the blue coat you see to the right.  If the clothing folds and outlines are black or dark brown, but the colour is baby blue, it stands out and looks tacky compared to the soft detail of the other items..  The lines are too hold and take away from the look of the item.
     Alright, art critique aside... This is a cute dress up application (Paper doll).  So let's go over the basics...
     When you begin the application you'll see the loading image to the right and music will begin.  A very peppy tune.  When it;s finished loading you will be on the main dress up page to the left.  She will always begin with that outfit on.
     Starting from the bottom left and moving our way up and around, I will now go over the buttons.
     Wallpapers:  this will change what the background, behind the doll looks like.  Swipe across the bottom to browse the available papers.  There are 17 wallpapers.  Some have furniture and such printed onto it.
     Knickers: There are 13 pairs of under garments.  They all look exactly the same.  they simply have different colours.
     Face: There are 30 faces.  They are divided by eye colour.  The available colours are black, purple/violet, A reddish brown, Brown, Blue and 'dots'.
     Socks:  There are 11 pairs of socks and tights.  You also have a remove option for you to remove the socks/tights.  In case you'd rather not have any on.
     Hair: There are 10 hair styles.  I feel like more hair styles could have been added.  Many are just the same style with another coour. There are 5 actual styles.  The colours available (Not in every style) are brown, blonde, pink, black.
     Outerwear:  There are 9 coats as well as a remove button.  There are 4 different coat styles.  Some with multiple colours.
     Bottoms: There are only 7 bottoms available.  One pair of denim trousers and a few different colour skirts.  There is a remove option here as well.
     Tops: A remove option and 15 tops.  There are 9 styles, some with multiple colours available.
     Accessories: A removal option is available here.  Sadly only one accessory can be added at a time.  So you can't have glasses and a scarf.  it's one or the other.  There are only 10 accessories. Three necklaces, a pair of hair clips, sunglasses, 3 scarves, A pair of earrings and some glasses.
     Hats: Oh course there is a remove option again.  There are only 5 hats.  Most are all the same hat with different colour choices.  There are 2 unique hats.
     Shoes: A removal option is available.There are 12 pairs of shoes.  Sneakers, slip on shoes, boots.  No pumps.
     The music note button is a Music Toggle.  You can turn the music on or off with this button.
     The Heart takes you to a screen that shows you the website URL.  It's a bit... dull looking.  I think they could have done more here.
     The Diskette is a Save function to save the outfit to your device.
     The little bird can share your creation via Twitter.
     The Dice give you a random outfit.
     The last button is the Shoppe option.  There is one free pack available here.  Some of the items I mentioned in the counts were from this pack as I installed the free pack before counting.  There is also a "Cute Pack" (56 items), Halloween Pack (35 items) & Cute Pack 2 (65 Items).  Each pack costs 99 cents.
     This is a cute and simple application.  I don't entirely know if I consider those add on packs to be worth 99 cents each.  It doesn't look like it took long to draw the clothing as they aren't shaded at all.  But the look is very unique.
     The application is free so if you like paper dolls you might enjoy this.  I liked the soft colours it had.  Not sure if i'd consider this to be Paris Chic fashion, but it's cute, nonetheless.
