Thanks everyone,

Thank you. I think Maryellen wears it best. It looks beautiful on her.
Maryellen great with hair color.
Maryellen definitely. The dress goes so well with her color hair. It looks like it was made specifically for her. So pretty!!
Both look beautiful. I had to flip a coin! Mary Ellen it is.
I voted for Maryellen.
Would love to win this doll to save it for my daughter for when she grows up, I voted for Z Yang I thought she wore it best.
I chose maryellen as the winner, she is so adorable in it!
Weeeell…….Z. Maryellen looks lovely too, but since I already have her, I pick Z-such a cute li’l Asian girl! Thank you to Laura for sewing the stunning dress
Hard choice as to who wears it best…I think Z’s coloring is the best, but I prefer Maryellen’s hair style. I ended up voting for Z.
I love Z, she’s a gorgeous girl, but I really like how the colors of the dress compliment Mary Ellen’s hair and bring out the green in her eyes, I had to vote for Mary Ellen.
I like it on Z Yang the best!
I have to give my vote to May Ellen just because seeing Z Yang in it makes me think of the Opium Wars.
Another wonderful giveaway. The dress is beautiful.
Maryellen wears it best!
I voted for Z, with my young daughter’s help. I never could have decided, since they both look so stunning in this dress. This inspires me to keep working on my sewing skills in hopes of making the pattern. Because I will be so disappointed if my daughter and I don’t win. I think she will be more mature about it than I will.
Both wear the dress BEST, but I prefer the contrast of hair color of Z Yang with the dress as it makes the dress style and fabric “pop.” This inspires me to make the dress now as I purchased the pattern a while ago and have fabric now. Thanks for the chance to enter!
