I like the look on Z Yang better
I like the look with Maryellen—-the color coordination of her hair ad features with the color of the dress is perfect!
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 Yang with her lovely dark coloring brings out the pretty color of the outfit to.
I love it on Maryellen.
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!
I prefer Maryellen. Z seems so severe and sad. Thank you for the dress.
Maryellen’s hair color brings out the chosen fabric. Of course, as usual, it looks good on
both of them.
Maryellen – my vote
I think Mary Ellen wears the dress better because of her red hair. ?
Beautiful dress, but it looks better on Maryellen.
I choose Maryellen, such a beautiful dress, thanks Laura!
I forgot to say thank you to Laura for giving away this beautiful outfit!
This is such a sweet dress! I think it looks best on Maryellen.
I think Z looks beautiful in this color! I love the dress on both dolls!!
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
Thank you Laura for the wonderful give away! The dress looks amazing on Maryellen! I love her in that color.
I chose MaryEllen for wearing this best although it was a difficult choice as Z looks stunning as well. The calico print size is perfectly suited for 18" dolls!
Both girls are adorable, but I prefer Maryellen.
How could you ever choose? They are both adorable.
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!
These historical dresses are so cute! Thanks Laura for the adorable dress giveaway.. I love Maryellen in this dress, but it would be cute on any of the girls with long hair..
Thanks for the contest!!
They both look lovely in this beautiful dress. So hard to choose but Z looks the best.
Both dolls look so pretty in this beautiful dress but I love that Mary Ellen reminds me of my daughter
Z looks lovely. Thank you for the pattern.
Thank you, Laura. The dress is beautiful. I think Maryellen wears it best because she looks like my grand girl who wears everything ‘the best’❣️
MaryEllen
I must say Miss Z is rocking this dress.
I think Maryellen’s hair matches the dress nicely ! Thank you.
Definitely MaryEllen! Her coloring looks perfect with dress. Such a cute dress.
Love Maryellen.
I love the look on Mary Ellen. The style and color are perfect on her. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the giveaway! I like it better on Z, it clashes with Maryellen’s hair!
Z Yang looks great. Thanks Laura.
Thank you Laura for the giveaway. I think Z yang looks adorable.
Love the outfit and doll
Thank you for donating such a beautiful dress! I think it looks best on Z yang with her brown hair and cute beauty mark!
They are both beautiful!! It’s really hard to choose this one!
Maryellen, she looks like she is an Ingles girl from Little House on the Prairie!
I absolutely love that look on Maryellen. Color is perfect!
Maryellen’s red hair looks great with this dress. So pretty.
I really like how Z looks in the dress . Her dark hair and beautiful dress color just pops. Thank you Laura Griffith for making such beautiful dresses for Mod Doll Monday.
MaryEllen looks more like a country or prairie girl.. Z would look better in something more modern and trendy
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
What a gorgeous dress! I think it looks best on Z Yang. Very striking.
Both models are wonderful. Miss Z displays the dress better, because the lake gating is more dramatic with her darker hair.
Most definitely MaryEllen! It looks awkward on Z for some reason.
MaryEllen. I don’t think the style dress suits Z Yang even though I love the orange with her dark hair.
I agree that the dress style looks better on MaryEllen!
I love this dress on MaryEllen. Thank you,Laura, for the beautiful dress give away.
This Dress was made for MaryEllen! The fabric is perfect for her coloring.
I love the contrast of Z’s dark hair and the dress!
I love the delicate look of Z Yang in the peach dress!
Love the dress
MaryEllen looks so darling in this dress! Makes her eyes just pop!
Love the patterns you share! Thanks!
Love the dress. It looks good on both but I picked Maryellen.
I think Mary Ellen looks best, but I decided to vote for Z anyway!! The dress is beautiful no matter who wears it. I’ve made a couple of them and it’s a great pattern.
Lovely dress!
I think Z looks really cute in this outfit!!
Love the dress. The orange just makes this dress perfect!
I love the way this dress looks on Maryellen! It complements her red hair beautifully. Thanks for your lovely contribution, Laura!
MartEllen gets my vote this week
Thanks, Laura- what a gorgeous dress! I particularly love it with Maryellen’s peaches and cream complexion.
Maryellen – her coloring goes so well with the dress!
Maryellen wears this dress the best Dress doesn’t work for Miss Z. Maybe it is the style or color. Anyway Maryellen looks the best.
Maryellen looks amazing. She looks like she walked right off a tv show in that dress. Love it. She has my vote
Beautiful dress. The dress works well with Maryellen skin and hair coloring.
Thanks Laura! I think MaryEllen wears it best
Z is so pretty in this?
MarryEllen gets my vote today. Although I’m partial to brunettes, her hair colour compliments the dress colour.
Without a doubt MaryEllen wears it best. It’s perfect for her coloring.
I normally like the dark haired dolls the best, but I think MaryEllen does this dress justice. I love it on her. Thank you for the possibility to win.
Laura, this dress is absolutely beautiful! I love how it looks on Z!
I chose Z!
I like Z Yang. TY to all.
Both dolls are gorgeous.. but I have to vote for Z. Her black hair just contrasts beautifully with the darling dress. ?
I think Z wears it beautifully! Her hair and eyes with this dress look wonderful!
I love the dress on Maryellen! I am also a fan of Laura’s pattern, thank you Laura for contributing this lovely dress to a lucky winner!
Think Mary Ellen wears it best. I’m thinking the color suits her better. Thanks Laura.
I like the dress best on Mary Ellen. Of course, I like Mary Ellen’s hair and eye coloring best too. She reminds me of my precious little red-head granddaughter.
That adorable dress is perfect on Maryellen.
I choose Z, They are both adorable though. Love that dress! :)
The dress color just fits with MaryEllen
I love Z wearing the dress!
Gosh oh Gee, this is a hard one. You did a great job Laura. I was watching a movie recently and yours matched the style of one the dresses the actresses wore. Guess I will pick Mary
Ellen because the actress was blonde. ; )
Maryellen is the better for this color and style of dress.
Love the color. The dress looks good on Maryellen with her hair color.
Z Yang looks adorable in the dress.
Gorgeous dress Laura! Love it on Z with her dark hair.
Maryellen is suited to the color, pattern and style of dress. She models the dress to advantage. Z is a cute girl, but the dress wears her, look out of place like a dress-up costume.
I voted for Z. think her dark hair sets off the color of the dress.
What a great dress! I think Maryellen wears it best.
Mary Ellen for sure, she has that beautiful and more historical beauty <3
Z ! Loving that dress
Love the dress and i think Maryellen wears it best.
I love Maryellen’s hair!! It matches the dress perfectly!! (And I already have Z)
I choose Laura.
She is just a natural orginial early settler girl. The light orange and white make the blue eyes pop. Z Yang is adorable but I would like to see her in a different design. Thank you for the new design. It is so pretty.
Both are great. But I choose Mary Ellen. Thank you so much.
I vote Maryellen. They are both pretty dolls. I love Maryellen’s hair and the coloring of the dress. She looks like she could be from that era. Laura, thank you for such a wonderful dress. And Pixie Faire for a wonderful giveaway.
