Gabriela Doll and Meet Outfit

I got my Gabriela as a Mother's Day present from my sons-- the 5 year old helped pick her out, the 1 year old just wants to eat her, so he looks but doesn't touch, LOL-- and she is one of the most gorgeous dolls I've ever seen. I'd admired her in the store, but it took getting her home and being able to examine her more closely for me to really appreciate her beauty. The original doll that I got had uneven eyebrows but perfect coloring, so I exchanged her for one with the same coloring and even eyebrows. I thought it was interesting that out of all the dolls I looked at in the store, only about 4 had the darker, bolder face paint that I wanted. I'm not sure if the others were just repackaged #46's or if something else was going on, but there it is. Both the doll I exchanged and the one I kept had lovely wigs, very thick with nice curls.

My Gabby has been renamed Ada and she will be my Addy stand-in so I can't speak to her meet outfit because i took it off of her as soon as I got her home. She has a zip tie and possibly the newer, thinner body fabric, though I'm not sure how I would be able to tell. Her hair is lovely and requires very little maintenance. I've mostly just finger curled it and tried the toothbrush and pencil method for brushing it that I saw online. I may take her to the salon for a hair style at some point if only so i can have someone in person show me how to deal with her hair, LOL. Anyways, here she is modeling Addy's Sunday Best dress. I adore her and cannot stop staring at her. The combination of coloring, hair, and eyes is just too gorgeous. AG really hit it out of the park with this one!
