Maryellen is my choice.
Love this little house on the prairie style dress
Prefer Tenney … just because the brim on her prairie bonnets seems to frame her face a little better…
I love Maryellen ‘s hair with the outfit! So cute!💕
Tenney was made to wear this outfit. Maryellen looks good in it too but too matchy matchy with her hair.
I just love it on Tenney.
Maryellen. The cute dress matches her hair.
Tenney was made for this outfit!
Love the outfit on both dolls, but like Tenney’s hair color and freckles just a tad better.
Thank you, Shari and Cinnamon, for the chance to win one of these beautiful dolls! I think Mary Ellen wears it best! The outfit just matches perfectly with her eye and hair colors.
I voted for AG Tenney. Thank you Shari!
Tenney wore it best. Thanks for the chance to win the outfit and the doll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I vote for Tenney, though they both look great. I love her freckles and the way she is wearing the hat. Back in the day, these hats were worn to the front covering the head like hers does, and not worn to the back.
They’re both beautiful in it; (the outfit itself is gorgeous!) but I think Tenney has the edge!
I think Tenney should get the award for the prettiest doll by American Girl! She just rocks this outfit!
(no pun intended XD)
Tenny looks adorable especially with the hat on. Tenny it is. Thanks
Marry Ellen gets my vote. Precious :)
Love this on both of them, but Mary Ellen gets my vote for the green eyes!
Tenney gets my vote. It’s definitely the freckles.
This was a tough one, as both girls are beautiful in this outfit. I love the freckles on Tenney, but also the bangs on Maryellen. So I chose Maryellen, as my granddaughter has just recently started wearing bangs, and I can see her as a little pioneer girl in this beautiful little bonnet. Thank you, Shari, for sharing this beautiful little outfit, and Thank You also, Cinnamon, for this wonderful opportunity to win both doll and outfit. 💕
This dress is so adorable it would look good on all dolls! Just precious!
Tenney wears it best because of her dark brown eyes and cute braid/curls.
I voted for Tennessee her blond hair and freckles is a great complement to the beautiful dress, thanks for the opportunity, I have Felicita and Josefina and the mini Kaye, thanks💐💐💐💐
I like it on Mary Ellen the best. The hair color and green eyes go with the colors of the outfit. Thanks so very much for giving us the chance to win these.
This is a beautiful outfit. I am presently sewing George Washington outfit and I have the Knicker set to sew, This would be a great girl out fit to. Thanks for sharing.
I like Mary Ellen wearing the outfit, but they both look good in it. I think it is the outfit that makes them both look good.
Thank you Shari for the opportunity to win an American Doll. I voted that Maryellen wears it best.
This was really hard- I love Laura Ingalls, and these two dolls are two of my favorites! But I have to go with Tenney in this outfit that I liked best.
This is my favorite Mod Doll Giveaway ever! It’s so hard to choose, but I have to say that Tenney wears it best!
Love this … Think Maryellen wears it the best
I feel Mary Ellen wears the outfit the best. Her strawberry blonde hair brings out the colors in the outfit. I love blonde dolls but this time she didn’t quite make it-they both are beautiful. Thank you Shari for the beautiful historical outfit. Thank you all for such great give aways!
Thanks for the giveaway!! I think Maryellen wears it best!
Thanks to Pixie Faire and Shari for this darling set of country-styled girls!! The outfit looks like it was made for Maryellen’s coloring with her strawberry blonde hair and green eyes, but Tenney does the outfit justice because she looks like she just stepped in from doing chores with her tousled hair and freckles and she’s ready for a cool dipper of water and time under a shade tree with her guitar! Tenney got my vote.
I love Maryellen’s strawberry blond hair, but rhink she’s not quite right for this outfit. Tenny just looks right in it, so she’s my choice. Her hair style enhances the Prairie Rose dress. Thanks so much for creating this pattern and for offering it for this giveaway.
Thanks!!, Sheri for the beautiful pattern. The outfit looks GREAT on both dolls, but I have choose MaryEllen as her coloring goes really well with the fabric chosen for the outfit.
My vote this week is for Tenney – gotta’ love that “sun-bleached” hair and those freckles! Many thanks to Shari and to Cinnamon for this adorable giveaway! 😊
Thank you, Shari! I picked Maryellen, even though I think it looks better on Tenney… Maryellen is my favorite AG doll, and not part of my collection yet!
I think Mary Ellen wears it best! She looks flushed from running home from school on an autumn day to help Mama water the saplings. Absolutely love the combination of fabrics used for this Little House style costume. Makes me want to pull my L.E. Wilder books out of the attic!
I think Tenny wears it best because I think Maryellen’s bangs just don’t sit right under the bonnet or truly fit the time period
Maryellen gets my vote! Thanks Sherri!
Tenney wears this so well! The freckles really tie it all together, and I just feel like Maryellen is lacking something in her ensemble.
I like Maryellen in this costume.
Thanks, Sheri!
I think Tenney wears it best because her curls look so cute under the bonnet!
Thank you Shari! This is gorgeous. I love it on maryellen because it really makes her eyes pop
Both girls look at home on the prairie, but Maryellen gets my vote.
Both look beautiful. If I have to choose it would be Tenney
Love both girls but Mary Ellen with her red hair looks best.
The outfit is wonderful and so is Maryellen.
Maryellen reminds me of my red-headed niece Elisabeth, thus my choice of who wears the outfit better. Darling!
Tenny is my favorite. Love the feckles and beautiful eyes.
I love both girls but Maryellen stands out with her red hair and green eyes.
I think Tenney looks amazing in this outfit. :) She’s such a pretty doll. <3 Thank you for doing this giveaway! :)
The outfit just “pops”, on Maryellen. Thanks for this fun contest.
I vote for Tenney, Maryellen looks great but Tenney steals the show for me
Tenny gets my vote today and Thanks for your generosity.. :)
Tenny wears it best! Love the freckles, she reminds me of Little House on the Prairie in this beautiful outfit!
I love the way that the dress brings out the red in Maryellen’s hair! And the dress is adorable!! Thanks for offering these give-aways!!
Tenny wears it best. Love her yellow hair tumbling down the back of the dress. The colors go so nice together.
I think Tenney takes it this time. She reminds me of Mary Ingalls in her outfit. So cute!
I chose Tennyson for the way the angle shows the brim and top of the hat. Thank you, Shari for such a wonderful give away.
Thank you Shari. Maryellen gets my vote
Braids and freckles doll. Love it!
Love your work.
I vote for Mary Ellen! She looks really cute, I love the bonnet😀. Thank you Shari!
I like Mary Ellen’’s look the best!
I love both dolls but Mary Ellen is my favorite. Shari I love your patterns and will truly treasure Mary Ellen and her beautiful Prairie Rose dress. Thank you also Cinnamon for your kindness in always having a beautiful doll for us to enjoy. God Bless you both.
Thank you Shari
I voted for Tenney, because she looks great in the outfit. But I love how it brings out Maryellen’s green eyes as well.
They both look great and I love the stitching detail on the pockets. Tenney has freckles like me, so I have to pick her. Reminds me of my days civil war reenacting with my Kirsten.
Absolutely love this outfit – they both look terrific. Thanks for your generosity!
Love the prairie outfit. Both girls wear it well, but my vote went to Maryellen. Thanks for the giveaway!
Thank you Shari! I love the historical pattern. I think Mary-Ellen models it best!
They are both so cute! I’ll have to go with Tenney, though, I like the contrast of her hair with the outfit.
I think Maryellen wears it best!
Wow, I love the Prairie outfit, and though both dolls are adorable, I love the curls and freckles on Tenney. Thank you for this look. I am sure to enjoy making the gift of yesteryear.
Thank you for the giveaway! It was very hard to choose but Maryellen got my vote in the end.
Tenney wears it best! She just seems to be the epitome of that country-girl, down on the farm look with her freckled nose and braided blonde hair.
I think Tenney wears it best. I LOVE the prairie girl outfit! She looks like she just walked off her Nebraska homestead! <3
I love the braid and freckles!
The present wouldn’t be as good without having the best of the past. Love love, love the pattern!
Thanks, Shari! I voted Tenney.
Thanks Shari for the beautiful & very authentic-looking period costume. I vote for Tenney since she reminds me of Laura Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie.
My pick is Tenney. They both look so cute but with Tenneys hair and freckles she is adorable. Thank you for the great giveaway.
I voted for Tenney, because I like her old fashioned hair-do. Both dolls look adorable in this outfit!
It’s gotta be Tenney with those adorable freckles. Just spent the day yesterday following the pioneer trail through part of Wyoming. Love this prairie girl outfit. I think I need to make one myself.
Thanks for the giveaway Sheri I like Maryellen
I like Tenney, I like the way her hair looks with the bonnet, but both dolls are cute. Thanks Shari. My granddaughter loves these outfits and I just can’t keep up with them. Maybe I can use my cricut machine to help cut them out. Great job!!
Both dolls look adorable but Tenney gets my vote for modeling this dress. Thank you Shari for offering another one of your beautiful creations!
I think both dolls look great in this outfit but I choose Tenney I like her hair best for the bonnet. Thanks for a great piece.
Tenny wears it best with her cute freckles. Thanks for the opportunity to win outfit…and doll.
I love the outfit! It has some of my favorite colors in it. I voted Tenney because I think it makes her glow and her eyes stand out beautifully! Thanks for donating this outfit, Shari!
Both of the dolls are beautiful. Thank you for the amazing opportunity to win.
Maryellen wears it best – she is lovely with her red hair – the outfit is lovely – great package to win!
Tenney has my vote!!!
I think Tenny’s lips are to bright for this time period. Though Maryellen is not quite the doll for this outfit as well. So… hard to say. Maybe somebody else, like 61 or Rebecca.
Tenney gets my vote. I love all the freckles. It just looks natural with this outfit. Although I love the reddish hair on Maryellen with the outfit. Maybe I just really love the outfit. :)
Although I would normally pick Mary Ellen with her red hair, I think Tenney actually fits the outfit and time period better. She reminds me more of the Scandinavian immigrants who settled in Minnesota.
Tenny, I had an aunt with the same name. (nickname for Christine) And she’s cute!
so dang cute….I want to have a set my size to wear. We have Billy Barker Days here, and the community dresses up in these vintage style clothes and have fun with dances and fair…oooweee
I love Tenney with her bonnet and dress!
Gotta love those freckles! They go famously with the beautiful outfit Shari provided from her collection of timeless patterns. Obviously, I choose Tenney! Thank you Shari for sharing your talent and to Pixie Faire for the giveaway.
I think Maryellen wears it best, although both girls are delightful! I like her hair color with the dress. Thanks Shari and Cinnamon for this opportunity to win.
