Tough choice! I vote for Z Yang, for the striking combination of dark hair with the orange/coral dress. Mary Ellen is “ok”, but a little washed out.

I love the dress on either young lady—but especially on Maryellen. The vivid orange/peach hue really brings out the color in her cheeks and gives her a peachy fresh complexion. Great give away to a lucky winner.

Maryellen reminds me of when I was young with hazel eyes , fair skin and blonde hair with red lights in it, and the dress reminds me of a by-gone era that I wished I could enter. The colonial dress is delicately detailed, and would be lovely in a solid colour as well. I’d love to make it in a soft wool crepe as a fall dress.
