Addy Doll - Beforever (BF)

Addy is definitely one of my favorite Beforever dolls! I actually think that I like her better than the Mattel version. I got mine last Christmas, and I love her so much! At first, I didn't really connect with her, but after awhile she has become one of my favorites! I was a bit hesitant because of her hair, but really, it's not hard to take care of at all! I'm not a fan of the texture. I think AG could have done of better job. I think it feels plastic and fake. It frizzes easily, and is super puffy, but easy to style and looks nice when styled. I was scared to take out her meet hairstyle because it was so adorable, but opted to do so thinking I could put it back in the same way. I was wrong. I cannot get it back to the original look! I am glad I took it out though because I love styling her hair and she looks great in so many different hairstyles! My favorite is two french braids. Awhile ago I also braided half her hair into tiny braids, and I loved it! You can do so much with her hair like that, and it looks great! I wouldn't recommend leaving her hair down though, because it could become a mess. I got a pick to style her hair at first as AG suggested, but found it easier to just use a brush like I would for any other doll. That hasn't caused me many problems and I'm glad. So really, her hair isn't very hard to take care of if you leave it up all the time and brush thoroughly when styling.

She also has a really cute face. I like it better than the Mattel version. Her eyes just look super full of emotion, and they are a bright, shining brown. I love them. Mine has a head problem as well, but it doesn't bother me much. Her head just happened to get really loose all the of sudden and I have to constantly retie her neck strings after awhile of play.

Her earrings are super cute and look great on her! I do wish they were removable though, because it's very hard to style her hair, because it keeps getting stuck in the hoop earrings! Sometimes I'll style her hair and then turn her to the front only to realize a piece of hair got stuck in her earring and I have to redo the style all over :I They are adorable otherwise!

I love her outfit. The blue looks great on her and the dress is great quality! I do miss her old pink outfit though and I do think this dress is a little fancy for a girl who just escaped slavery. Her undergarments are really nice! I feel like they are a slight different matierial and better quality than Marie-Grace and Cécile's. Same with her socks. I like them better. Her boots are also amazing and go with many different outfits. I love the matierial and they feel so nice and expensive. Again, not for a girl who just got out of slavery. More like something Harriet would wear.
