I got Lydia on December 29 to be my 1770s girl. I love how she has pincurls and a center part. She's perfect for the time period. I noticed that her body is really squishy, like a PM doll, which I like. She's not as wide as them, but as soft as them.   I also have Mia, who also has hazel eyes, and I noticed that Lydia's eyes are darker, and they look really dark and almost brown in some pictures.  Their hair colors are also pretty similar, but you can tell Mia's is more red and Lydia's is more blond. Sorry for the weird lighting on this one, but you can kind of see.  |

I have a question about the tights. I'm not sure if this is the right place. You said they are thick. Are they pretty durable, and would you say they snag on velcro easily?

#15 is a doll that I've wanted for a long time. I just got her today, and I really like her. Her name is Francesca, and she is Italian. I really like her hair. The length and the texture are very nice. I put her hair in braids, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out. Even with the two layers, I was able to braid it to the end with very little pieces sticking out.   Watching a scary movie  |

I got my JLY 33, Cathleen, with my Christmas money on December 26, 2011 at the AGP in the MOA. I wanted her ever since I first saw her when she came out. Every time I look at her, I'm amazed at how beautiful she is. I really like her feathered eyebrows. I like how her hair color changes a little depending on the light. I haven't had to do anything with her hair, and I love how it stays so curly. Her hair is thick and I was happy that it's just as curly as the stock photo. I originally was going to buy JLY 37, but they were out of stock. I then remembered 33, who I also really wanted. The worker at the AGP said how beautiful her face structure and complexion is, and I thought, yeah, yeah, they're just saying that to sell her, and she'll look the same as my other dolls. I was surprised because she was right. There's something special about this doll that makes her really beautiful that I can't describe. I give her an A+! ETA: More pictures!  You can see how long her hair would be if it was straightened.  I really like her as a 30s girl! Attachments:

I got my JLY 23, Charlotte, for Christmas in 2009. She's very cute! I chose her because she's very versatile and can look good in a large number of historical eras. I really like her highlights. There are only a couple cons about her. They are both about her hair. One, it isn't as thick and long as it looks in the stock photos. Second, it has layers, and it's very difficult to braid her hair. I guess this shouldn't be a con, because it's just a preference thing. Otherwise, there's nothing bad I have to say about her. One thing I really like about her is that I consider her a "classic" JLY doll, because she's been around for awhile (2004), and she's hasn't changed much, if at all. Also, she seems very popular, and like I said before, she's very versatile. I give her an A+! ETA: More pictures!   Ballet is her favorite hobby.  Watching TV with Angelique (#11). Attachments:

I got my JLY 11, Angelique on February 22, 2011. How I got her is kind of interesting. I actually got her because of this thread. I never noticed this doll until I looked at the reviews on here. I got her new from Ebay, and she was wearing the I Like Your Style Outfit. I was really surprised at the amazing quality of her hair. It's the most silky hair I've ever seen, and it's very thick. Mine has very little, if any, layers, which made me happy. Her hair also has a little flip on the end, but not as big as 23's. I was scared that her skin would be too light, but it's perfect. She's a little lighter than Kaya. Like another member said above, she's very versatile. She can wear almost any style. Overall, I'm extremely happy with her. I would give her an A+! ETA: More pictures!    Attachments:
