Sonali gets an A+ from me, and I'd give her a higher ranking if possible. I am absolutely in love with her.
Her face mold is beautiful, and looks a lot like an eleven-year-old Indian-American girl I know. Her nose is wider and flatter than other dolls, a little like Addy's. Her lips have the pronounced curve of Josefina's, but it doesn't give off the chipmunk look. The coloring on her lips is a dark sort of wine color. It's really pretty. Her eyelashes are gorgeous, too. They're curved a little at the end. This is probably my favorite face mold next to Jess's now.
I don't know if this is just my Sonali, but she seems a little chubbier than other dolls. I haven't had any issue with clothes fitting her, but I thought I'd mention it.
She has some of the prettiest hair I've ever seen! It's smooth and extremely curly. She comes with the pamphlet on caring for straight-haired dolls, but I still use hair picks when dealing with her curls, because there's so many. Someone I know said it looks like a darker version of #24's wig, but I think it's a little curlier. The wig is very thick - I've styled her hair a few times, and haven't seen the wigcap show on any style yet.
As for her meet outfit, it's pretty cute. I can certainly imagine a ten-year-old wearing an outfit like this. Her jumper is knitted, and separate from the t-shirt, as has been mentioned above. The buttons are real and come undone, which pleasantly surprised me. I really like the t-shirt, too. It would look really nice with plain jeans. It's hard to get a good picture of the shirt's actual color, but the fourth picture down posted by curiouser is pretty accurate. It looks a lot paler in most pictures, but it's actually a lime color. The jeans have cuffed bottoms (they're capris), with elastic at the bottom of the legholes. It's a cute style, I have to admit, although I wouldn't wear it. There is no snap or velcro on the pants - just a stretchy elastic band in the waist. I can imagine this would cause problems getting the pants onto a PM doll. I also don't care for the embroidery on the jeans (I'm sick of embroidered flowers on everything AG makes), although it is well-done. The ballet flats are adorable, and much better made than they looked on the website. The material isn't plastic-y at all. The detail on the strap is really nice, and the shoes look good for mixing and matching.
In my opinion, Sonali is one of the most unique dolls made by AG. I just love her.
