Z wears it best! Her dark hair looks better with the color of the dress; Maryellen’s blends in too much but both are beautiful :) Thank you for having this contest!
What a lovely dress and fun giveaway! Both dolls look wonderful in that dress but I think I’m partial to Maryellen’s pretty hair and eyecolor with that dress, very Little House On The Prairie-ish.

I voted for the Z Yang doll, because she’s different from all the dolls I have. I prefer her strong coloring with the bold orange in the dress.

I love how Maryellen looks in the dress. She models it the best in my opinion.
Such beautiful work, and sew inspiring! I love this dress on MaryEllen as her coloring suits this dress perfectly. ❤️
Thanks Laura! I think both dolls look cute, as usual, but I thought Mary Ellen, with her historical background, looks like a closer match. Plus her hair looks great with the color of the dress. Though I do think Z looks pretty stunning with her dark hair against the lighter dress. But she’s so modern, that’s why I chose Mary Ellen.
I think Maryellen looks prettier in the dress it goes well with her color of hair

Mary Ellen is my favorite, her hair coloring accents the outfit color, making the outfit really stand out.
Beautiful dress – looks like both dolls went through a time machine! I like the contrast of Z’s dark hair and eyes with the dress.

Thank you for a lovely giveaway.
Mary Ellen wears it best. Love the dress!
This is such a gentle dress. It can easily be overpowered, as happens when put on Z Yang. My attention is so drawn to her dark hair that the pastel dress becomes secondary.. Maryellen’s coloring beautifully complements the dress. She should be the one to wear it.
I love this dress!!! Thank you Laura and Cinnamon! I like the dress on both dolls, but since I do not have an Asian doll, I pick Z.
Both are beautiful but I think Mary Ellen looks best in this dress!
Thank you, Laura! I think Maryellen wears the dress best.
Oh! I love this dress in peach! So very pretty! Because of her darker hair color, I think Z Yang wear it best, but Maryellen is also very pretty in it with her long wavy hair! Thank you for yet another great Mod Doll Monday!
I love how Z’s dark hair looks against the pretty peach color. Thank you Laura for sewing such a beautiful dress!
Z rocks it and thank you!
The workmanship is beautiful on this dress and I think it looks best on Z Yang with her dark hair and light complexion.
I think Maryellen looks very cute in this outfit.
It looks best on Maryellen. The dress is stunning with Maryellen’s hair.
Thanks for awesome giveaway. Laura did a fantastic job. It is hard to choose which one looks best they both look great, but I would have to say Maryellen is the one that wears it the best, it really shows off her hair color.
Thanks so much Laura, MaryEllen wears it best! :o)
Mary Ellen. The color of the dress matches her complexion and freckles
I definitely think Maryellen looks the best. The colour of the dress really suits her hair colour.
Maryellen reminds me of Mary on Little House On The Prairie., that’s why I like it on her
It matches Maryellen’s hair color the best. Thank you for offering these wonderful gifts! Someone very fortunate will win!
Both dolls look lovely in the Sarah Hale dresses.
MaryEllen’s haircolor looks great with the color of the dress. I think she wears it best.
It really compliments Maryellen’s hair color and style!
Maryellen is the right choice for this dress, with her hair coloring and hazel eyes, it sets off the peachy fabric perfectly! Thanks again .. Pixie Faire, Cinnamon, and Laura for all the wonderful freebies.

Maryellen wears it best!! I love her coloring with the beautiful fabric of the dress. It just looks like her!. Beautiful.
