I love Maryellen in this outfit
Marryellen, would be my choice. Thank you.
Once again, thank you for this opportunity. I love the colour of this dress on Maryellen, it matches her hair. The dress itself is a beautiful design and suits both girls well.
Maryellen wears this one best!
Thank you Laura! I love the dress. The color choice draws my choice to Maryellen. Its just so sweet on her.
I voted for Maryellen. Her style and coloring is suited to the dress. Thank you, Laura for your beautiful workmanship in making the dress.
I chose Maryellen ~ the beautiful dress really compliments her coloring!
Beautiful dress, thank you Laura!
It is a tough choice, the dress is lovely on both dolls. I chose Z but it wasn’t an easy decision!
I chose Mary Ellen due to her beautiful strawberry blonde hair and how it make her cheeks glow. Thank you Laura and Pixie Fire for the lovely clothes and dolls.
I think Z models the dress best. I like how the orange looks with her dark hair. Thank you so much, Laura!
Maryellen looks like sunshine on a fresh cut cantaloupe in this dress <3
We voted Z, she looks so exotic in that dress.
The dress is beautiful and both dolls are lovely, but I feel the dress looks best on Maryellen—the colors of the dress are for her.
And thanks to Laura for making such a lovely dress!
I voted for Maryellen. She is just my favorite. Thanks!
I like the way MaryEllen is high lighted by the color of the dress.
What a cute dress ! doesn`t matter what doll wears it
They both look so lovely but I think Z pulls it off just a touch better. The light color really makes her dark hair shine!
I vote Maryellen. It looks better on her coloring…even though I kinda want Z Yang!
I just love how soft and pretty this dress looks on MaryEllen!
going with Z!! love her dark hair with it!
the detail on the neckline is beautiful!
thanks!
I love the color of the dress and how it goes with Maryellen! Thanks so much for a lovely dress.

Love the details on the bodice and sleeves of the dress Laura! Thanks Cinnamon for showcasing such talent!
Such a beautiful dress! I like it on both dolls for different reasons. But I think it suits Maryellen best!
Thank you Laura for providing a beautiful dress for my choice, Maryellen
Mary Ellen wears the dress best.
Thank you for another opportunity to win a doll and the adorable outfit. I voted for Maryellen.
I love this dress on Maryellen. She looks super sweet in it!
This dress is so precious. It complements both dolls very nicely. I especially love the color play with Maryellen’s hair; so I voted for her. Just beautiful! ?
The dress color matches perfectly wit maryellens coloring☺
I love the contrast of Z Yang’s dark hair with the light dress. So pretty!
Maryellen, despite her bangs :)
I think they both look adorable in this but I have to give it to Z, her hair looks so nice with the orange. Thanks Laura!
Thank you Laura! I voted for MaryEllen. She looks more authentic for the time period of the dress.
The color of the dress suits Maryellen best. Thank you for all the giveaways.
i think z is better looking in the outfit
MaryEllen wears it best.
Maryellen models it best. The dress is absolutely perfect on her. Thank you so much Laura. I just love this selection.
This dress is beautiful Laura, Thank you. I think MaryEllen wears it best.
Maryellen is perfect, and thanks for all the give aways.
Both dolls look ever so lovely, but my vote goes to Maryellen, because of the way her hair complements the dress so perfectly.
I think Maryellen looks beautiful in this dress, It looks like the color of the dress was picked specifically for her.
Oops, I meant prairie, sorry!
I think Maryellen looks like the PERFECT little prarie girl in this outfit!
Thank you for another opportunity to win a beautiful doll and outfit. I think my vote is for MaryEllen this week. Congrats to this weeks winner!
Thank you Laura! Love the dress! I voted Maryellen, because I think she looks better for this time period over Z.
I thought both dolls look great — but the color really matches MaryEllen’s hair so I chose her. I love the pattern — thank you, Laura!
Hey, I have to go with Maryellen…love how her hair matches the dress!!!!
thanks
Thanks Laura! I vote for Maryellen because her hair goes with the color of the dress so well.
I’m not certain if it’s the colour of the dress, but Mary Ellen looks better in this dress!
The dress is stunning Laura!! And I think Z Yang wears it the best!!
Love the dress ! They both look great in it . But with the coloring i think Z Yang wears it best .
What a tough decision,lol. I vote for Maryellen because I love how the color suits her. What a beautiful dress Laura, thank you for being so generous!
I think Z looks best, the light peach colors in the dress contrasts the darkness in her eyes and hair. I would love to have this doll so much as well, she looks so much like me! However I am 15 and currently not working so I cannot afford her.
Maryellen thanks!
O wow this one was really hard to choose because both girls wear they dress awesome. But I ended up choosing Zyang. I love both dolls and the dress is gorgeous. TFS
Beautiful dress! Thank you Laura.
I think Maryellen looks best.
Definitely Mary Ellen…
As great as this looks on Miss Maryellen, I have to say Lady Z rocks it best! Either or, it’s tough to choose.
That dress is gorgeous & that colour!!!! Wow. Looks amazing in Maryellen- which is kinda surprising with her strawberry blonde hair! Gorgeous!!!!
I think that both are positively adorable models for this very cute dress, but I voted for Z Yang. This was a multi-racial country as early as the 1600s and most races shared a similar dress code. When I look at Z modeling the dress, I see a younger version of Phillipa Soo. As somebody who is actually saving up for the Maryellen series, I am voting for Z Yang. She reminds me of one of my favorite actresses, who portrayed Eliza Hamilton on Broadway. (I know the fashion timeline is off by about thirty years, so forgive me.)
I thank Laura Griffith for her generosity and for sharing her talent, and Pixie Faire for their generosity. Good luck to all and have a good day :)
Gorgeous dress!! I think Z looks so pretty in it!
I think miss Z Yang wears it best because of the contrast in her hair color to the color of the dress. The combination works beautifully.
I voted for Maryellen! Thank you so much!
This is a stunning dress it reminds my of “Anne Of Green Gables” 1985, Maryellen looks just like her, but I vote for Z Yang. Thank you so much for sharing, both girls look beautiful in your dress. #ModDollMonday♥♥♥
Cute dress. Voted for Maryellen
Love the doll (Maryellen) and the dress!
I think MaryEllen wears it best I also think her coloring looks the best with this dress
How can I choose???? They are both lovely. But, if I must choose one, I choose Z.
Beautiful dress. I vote MaryEllen, but it’s lively on both!
Mary Ellen gets my vote! Her hair color just seems perfect for the outfit. Both very pretty dolls though.
Both are beautiful always hard to decide … my choice goes to Maryellen
I voted for Z. Her dark hair makes the beautiful color of the dress really pop, while I feel Maryann looks a bit washed out. The dress is really lovely.
the hair color on Mary Ellen matches the dress best….
Maryellen looks absolutely lovely in this dress — the coloring brings out the highlights in her hair.
I really appreciate the wonderful patterns you create. I like Maryellen best in this design. I agree with what someone else said, Z looks like she is playing dress up.
I love Maryellen in this dress!!
I think Z Yang wears it best! Thanks for the contest!!
I believe I like Mary Ellen the best in it. Thank you Laura.

Love the dress on Z Yang!
It is amazing how good Z looks in the dress. Really like the dress.
I agree with Toni, who said, “Maryellen is suited to the color, pattern and style of dress. She models the dress to advantage. Z …look[s] out of place like a dress-up costume.”
Love the choice of pattern and fabric. Love how it looks on Mary Ellen❤️❤️
