I think Mary Ellen models this outfit the best. She has that country-ish look about her that makes the dress fit her image perfectly. Love the curly blond hair with the bangs.

Z is simply beautiful in this color, and the dress design is a winner itself!
Maryellen is adorable, but her hair and the dress are too similar. I like more contrast, so Z gets my vote.
Thanks for another awesome Monday!

Maryellen’s hair color brings out the chosen fabric. Of course, as usual, it looks good on
both of them.

Maryellen – my vote

Beautiful Pattern, but I find that the print and color of this fabric overwhelms the style of the dress. This pattern is on my list to get. I didn’t even recognize it. I’ve seen this in other prints, quieter, subtler colored prints that show off the tucks and make the dress look graceful. Made up in this print makes it look like a plain bodice with a gathered long skirt and sleeves. That being said…I choose Z because the color washes MaryEllen out. Sorry if this seems negative . . . I recommend looking at this pattern on the Website – it’s really beautiful – as are both these dolls. I even like the fabric – but not for this dress. :-o

While I like both of them this is such a hard decision. I like the dramatic effect of Zs dark hair with the coloring of the dress but I think Maryellen pulls it off better so my boat has to go with Maryellen
