I will add pictures once I have a chance to take some.
Isabelle is a lovely doll, and grabbed me right away, not what I was expecting. She has a lighter lip color when compared to Saige but it works well with her overall coloring.
The darker undertones of her hair look like the same color as the darker undertones of #53. She does have noticeable streaks of lighter hair though, which makes her hair overall look lighter than #53 in person. The wig reminds me a lot of McKenna's in thickness and texture.

I have no problem with the hair pieces staying in. One hook came slightly loose upon putting the hair in two braids but the piece was still firmly in. What I found makes putting the hairpiece in is looking for the loops and holding up the hair while maneuvering the hooks in. Not impossible but perhaps harder for a child. It sticks out somewhat for me, only because the hairpiece lies about 1/8 inch longer than her hair.

I did a few other comparisons with dolls I have around. Isabelle's eyebrows are the same color as #53's.

I also compared her eyes with Rebecca (my only other hazel eyes girl) and I saw no difference in the color. My Rebecca came in 2012.

Overall, Isabelle is a pretty doll, and has all the attributes to make her a success - long, blonde hair that is meant to be styled, hazel eyes, and a dance theme. I think this particular one is a keeper, and I will likely try to get another Isabelle for her wig to make the custom I originally had in mind, since it is a great wig (feat McKenna). If this doll did not have such a sweet face and almost perfect eyes, she would have been the wig donor.
