I ordered Cécile and Marie-Grace during the 25% sale that AG recently had. When I got them here, I fell in love with both instantly. However, I noticed right away that Céce looked a tad off- her eyes seemed closer together, her face narrower and her nose more defined. I compared her with my Sonali and looked at photos of other Céciles which confirmed my suspicions further.
My new Cécile came in today, and I couldn't be more happy with her. She is gorgeous! I am so glad that I made the decision to exchange her. Here is my old girl and my new one to compare:
My Cécile with Sonali. Notice that her eyes seem to be closer together with a seemingly narrower face than Sonali.
A closeup of both of their faces. In this photo you can (hopefully) see that Cécile's nose seemes to be more defined and Sonali's face seems to be wider.
Eyes closed. At first I thought it might be the lighter eyes creating an illusion, but this does not seem to be the case.
A photo of my doll with the stock photo from the American Girl website. The doll on the AG website and other board member's dolls seem to have the same mould as Sonali, but mine appears different.
