For a long time I've felt like the Wellie Wishers were too expensive for their size/articulation, but recently I found a few Kohl's gift cards that I'd accidentally hidden from myself, and I figured oh what the heck. So I have a Wellie Wisher now! I'm actually really enamored with this little gal. I love my Hearts for Hearts dolls, but Ashlyn feels sturdier and her little face is so lively and lovable. Her having darker skin and freckles is what made me choose her over the others! Her hair is super silky, I keep petting her head lol...I am considering adding a bit of under-curl to the bottom though because I'm not crazy about how stick straight it is.

My Melody is a bit different because she has a small gap in her bangs. She's probably not a doll I would have picked out at the store, but now that I've spent some time with her, I wouldn't want her any other way. Absolutely the cutest doll AG's made in a long time! ETA: Here she is with my gorgeous Cécile. They look very different to me! Besides the obvious eye and hair differences, Cécile's skintone looks a bit more golden to me in person. The different eyebrow placements also make them look very different to me. I'm glad I have both. : )

Here is a very quick picture of Donna wearing the version that was sold on Cyber Monday '15. It's missing the overlay and the sequins along the bottom, and there is no "Isabelle" tag to be found. I think it's a darling little neutral dress.

I bought this outfit solely for mix-and-matching, but here's Chrissa wearing the whole thing. This outfit is like the spiritual sequel to the Star Hoodie meet outfit that we all got tired of (even having a very similar name). I think almost every aspect is improved, though. I love hoodies for fall, and this one has a very cute and unique cut, and is made of surprisingly cozy material. I'm happy that it's not too thin. The collar is pretty cool...from the front it looks almost like a scarf tucked into a shirt. Here you can see that it's longer in the back, and it closes like the Star Hoodie did, only this time the velcro goes all the way down! So instead of having to pull the whole thing over the doll's head, you just have to stretch the hood part over her head and then put it on like a normal top. Yayyy! The leggings are cute and retro-y, and I love that they're full-length instead of carpri! AG actually describes them as "extra long" but I would just call them normal length. Not quite sure why they included a faux fly detail though. Is that a jeggings thing? Shouldn't they have faux pockets too then? Huh. The shoes aren't my favorite. They're cute and the glitter is the non-shedding kind, but they have slightly rounded soles for some odd reason (I don't know if you can tell from the photo, but trust me), so it's a little hard to balance the doll in them. I didn't get a closeup of the headband, but from the stock picture I had assumed it was going to be braided colored hair, but it's actually stretchy braided fabric and is very easy to put on. One of my favorite headbands in a while. I'm not crazy about the whole look together...it looks a bit too childish or maybe too pajama-ish? But for the individual pieces I'm very very pleased. I think this one's well worth the money.

I just got this outfit for my Bitties and I love it. It's so snuggly and well-made! The poncho especially is made of very, very soft fabric. On my newest addition, Tesla: Here's a closeup of a shoe. As mentioned above, they're cute but they're kind of like felt that's pilled. On the big girls....ehhh.... ....not so much. However, the shirt alone is great quality and pretty colors, so I can see using it as a mix-and-match piece. Chrissa even likes the hat. (I tried telling her that she looks a bit awkward-90'sy in it, but she doesn't seem to care.)

This outfit looks a bit blah in its stock photo, but I picked it up when I was at AGP today because it's so sweet in person. I like it, it's simple without being so simple I could make it myself. Plus, hey, another pair of boots! Headband is also very nice, stretchy and soft.

Hehe, I put my #58 in the Weekend Fun outfit, too! Beautiful Mara: I am at a loss for words for how gorgeous this doll is! It's really hard for me to stop staring at her. I've never disliked the Addy mold, but it took having it around in person for me to really fall for it. Her expression is so sweet. I'm still getting used to the wig. I'm a bit scared to really mess with it so far, and she's mostly been on display. I can say though that up close the curls have an almost frizzy texture, and when you pull them straight they go down to her waist. Stunning doll! If you're on the fence, get her! : )

I don't know if the wig changed over the years or not, but my doll is PM, and while the front layer appeared shorter when it was in its standard braid, when you take it down and part her hair, that section is actually longer.

Here's Leslie's current 'do.....I think this wig is very fun to style (with a bit of patience)!

I've been pining for Chrissa ever since I saw her in person on my first trip to the AGPNY! She's a really beautiful doll, and underrated I think. Some dolls are less photogenic than others, but that doesn't mean you CAN'T get a good picture of them, it just means they're a bit more of a challenge! And I loves me a challenge! : )
I added some freckles to my Chrissa just to make her look a bit more distinct from my other dolls, but she was gorgeous without them, too. And I wouldn't call my doll's wig thin at all. I guess just different Chrissas have slightly different wigs.

I got this outfit for my 18" girls, and I'm very pleased with how nice it looks on them. Please excuse my room's green lighting. Here's CJ wearing the Seaside Outfit, with Promise in last year's Sea Breeze Outfit for comparison. They look cute together, but don't match as exactly as I was thinking they would. Most notably, the blue in the Bitty outfit is more of a basic primary blue, the stripes are further apart, and each stripe is actually two colors. I'm not crazy about hats on my dolls, and this one in particular makes the whole outfit look younger, so here it is hat-free: The top seems like a comfortable size on them. It's not skin tight, but it's also not too loose like some Bitty shirts and dresses tend to be. The shorts are great and fit perfectly. The bow is very crisp and sewn down. The blue line around the collar is raised and is a nice detail. Here you can see what I mean about the stripes being two colors. The anchors along the bottom are real embroidery. There's just the three of them across the front, they don't go onto the back. And here are the shoes on my Bitty's feet. They're too small to wriggle onto an 18"er's foot. They're cute I guess, but not really my style...I think it's cute that they're all soft though, like shoes that you really would put on a baby. All in all I love this one. This is one of my favorite outfits I've bought for a while. It's light and summery and sweet, and now my dolls finally have a pair of shorts! Yay!!

I don't have much to add review-wise, except to say that I also adore her and her cute soft widdle curls. Here's mine hanging out with CJ:

This is Beatrix. I plan on giving her a haircut soon, but this is her straight from AG: I admit she looks quite a bit like #28 to me, but she's killer adorable, much cuter in person.

This outfit is so very precious. The romper is lightweight and fits pretty snugly. Donna is my thinnest doll and it took a bit of tugging to get it up over her tush. I'm not sure if I would be able to get it on one of my PM's at all. I'm not crazy about the hat, but there isn't much to say about it. It's a nice deep red, and it's also pretty thin but it's cute. Adorable little buttons: The stripes are a nice cornflower blue color. The lighting in my room isn't the greatest, but it's a nice flattering calm kind of blue. Shoes: They're very cute and they fit well. They were a little tricky for me to get on because the white straps like to go under the doll's foot, but otherwise no complaints. They're white on the inside, too, so no staining yay! It comes with a very simple, stupid-looking red charm which is a flat square bead with "SMART" written on each side. Uh, lame much? But whatever. I don't know if this is worth its $28 tag exactly, but it's a great-looking outfit and I love the colors. Great detail but still simple and clean looking. I think it's going to look great without the hat and paired with black or blue shoes, too. Grade A from me.

#15 is an incredibly lovely and unique doll. I was so happy to finally find one for my very own! I insta-bonded with Leslie as soon as I took her hair out of its funny looking braid and parted it to the sides. I love that you can part her hair any way you want, because I wanted a doll with a center part, and even though AG offers very few of those, I was able to make my own! : ) Her skin tone is barely darker than the light skin tone, in my opinion anyway. I mean, she's clearly darker, but not by much. Her hair is huge and amazing. I just haven't had the heart to leave it in any up-do for very long because it's just so gorgeous left down. It's pretty sad that Addy is the only doll still available with textured hair, and that she's likely to be archived as soon as they release a new African American historical, because the hair is really different and fun to work with....I'll be sad to see it gone for good.

I've been wondering for a while why there was no review for this outfit...does seriously no one have it? It's so cute! I got it for my 18"ers. I especially love the hat, and it feels like it could work for Kit/Ruthie as well.

I'm not quite sure how to follow that gorgeous doll in the post above this one! : O But I thought I'd share a few shots of my sweet Kirsten. She's from around 1994 and she doesn't have a body tag. Only thing I don't completely love about her is the bangs. I like them, but they're huge and they really bring out the OCD in me when I spend forever getting them to lay just right. ^-^

I adore this set. I love how every piece is good for mix-and-match, the bright bold colors, and how it isn't particularly girly! There is absolutely nothing currently available for a doll who wants to be a tomboy. D:

Here's a new photo of my #36, Donna. Figured I better fix this post since Donna's getting a new wig soon! I love everything about this doll. We've been great friends for more than seven years now!
