Tenney. Her lip color just happens to be perfect with the dress. :)
I chose Tenney.
Looks wonderful on both dolls, but I love Tenney’s freckles.
Thank you Shari for such an adorable prairie style outfit. :~)
I vote for Tenney , but both are so cute.
Maryellen!
Tenney’s freckles just “go with” this “Laura” outfit - hmmm, perhaps they are cousins? Would love to sew this! Thank you so much, just makes me smile :-)
Tenney looks adorable in this outfit.
I have to go with MaryEllen. Love her strawberry hair and hazel eyes.
I think Tenney really shows off this outfit, but either one looks nice in it. Thanks for the chance to win!
Mary Ellen wears it best
Tenny is an adorable pioneer!
Loved both of them in the outfit but I loved the freckles on Tenney!
I love the outfit! I voted for MaryEllen but it was a very difficult choice because it was cute on both of them!
Can’t help it, Tenney’s freckles, brown eyes and long blonde locks got me. She is adorable in her outfit. Thank you shari for your design.
I vote for Tenney. Thank you
Love this!!! It’s hard to choose they are both beautiful!
I think Tenny wears this beautiful historical outfit best! Thank you, Cinnamon and Shari, for this adorable give away!
Tenny, those freckles!
Tenny, those freckles!
I absolutely love them both! But I voted for Tenney because her freckles make her look like she spent time outdoors on the prairie. What a gorgeous outfit! I may try to make a matching one for my grand-daughter and her AG doll (unless I win a free Tenney in the beautiful outfit!)
They are both so pretty, but I think Tenney wears it best.
What a stunning outfit—thank you, Shari! I love how the bonnet frames Tenney’s hair and face.
Tenney is my favourite, thank you Sheri.
I like Maryellen the best.
Thanks Shari. I like Maryellen best.
I think Tenney wears it best. Mostly because it is hard for me to see Maryellen out of her period! The dress is so perfect Shari! Thank you!
I just love Tenney, and her freckles. I have to pick her.
They are both very cute in the dresses. Because I have a friend named MaryEllen I pick the MaryEllen doll.
I like think the outfit looks better on Mary Ellen; her strawberry blonde hair, and overall looks closer to the era that the outfit represents. Plus her name sound old fashion too! : )
They both wear it well, but Maryellen’s natural lip color make her look more like a girl of the time. Thanks for another great outfit.
I love the period piece that was chosen. The prairie look is one that I really like. Tenney looks like she just came from the American frontier and her freckles to prove it.
Hard choice both look gorgeous. But I’d have to go with Tenney due to her adorable freckles adding to the prairie girl look.
Thank you Shari. I think Tenny wears it best.
Historical outfits are my favorite type of patterns.
I voted for MaryEllen because I like her red hair and green eyes. Thanks!!
Oops! forgot to say Maryellen gets my vote. Thank you Shari and Pixie Faire!!
I love this outfit. It reminds me of the Little House on the Prairie books and tv show.
Tenney looks like a prairie girl to me. so Cute love the bonnet
Thank you for this adorable outfit Shari. My vote to Tenney whose freckles compliment your outfit so well.
Tenny has my vote All the freckles are so cute.

Thanks Sherri for the outfit. I think Tenney wears t best, she has cute freckles and her hair looks more like they wore it than.
Tenney looks so perfect! ☺❤
A big thank you to Shari for such a great outfit, It reminds me of my Grandmother in the south. Tenney wears it best and I just love her freckles.
I think Mary Ellen wears it best. Her strawberry hair just brings out the red print of the dress.
Both girls look darling in the outfit! But my heart goes to Tenney! Thankyou Sheri Fuller!
Tenney wears it better. Thank You Shari.
Marion
Thanks!
Thanks!
I pick Tenny, I love the outfit. Have to admit it’s the freckles that grabbed my heart.
I voted for Maryellen. Her hair and her eyes make the outfit just even more perfect. I love the red and green colors. Thank you Shari, I love your patterns and would love to win not only a beautiful outfit but a beautiful doll. Thank you Cinnamon and Pixie Faire for the continued generosity.
This was a very difficult choice, but I have to choose Maryellen with her strawberry blond hair and hazel eyes—very unusual!
I voted for Maryellen. Her hair and her eyes make the outfit just even more perfect. I love the red and green colors. Thank you Shari, I love your patterns and would love to win not only a beautiful outfit but a beautiful doll. Thank you Cinnamon and Pixie Faire for the continued generosity.
We vote for Tenn. The outfit blends with her hair color
They are both adorable but I particularly love Maryellen’s look as her beautiful green eyes and red hair set off the colors in her green bonnet and red dress. Thank you for the giveaway!
I Love Tenny in this outfit!
Maryellen looks absolutely adorable with her red hair!
I think the Tenny looks the best in this outfit but its really hard to tell. They both look so adorable! I love both!
I like Tenney
They are both so cute. It is so hard to choose. The red hair of MaryEllen reminds me of my Grandmother.
I think the Tenny doll wears it best!
Maryellen for sure! So darling! Thanks for the giveaway, and God Bless,
♡Rosabelle♡
I love it with Tenney’s freckles and blonde hair!
I vote for Tenny
Tenney’s freckles clinch it!
Thanks for the contest.
Sherri & Cinnamon, thank-you. This is a difficult choice! I prefer Mary-Ellen, but my daughter says Tenney, so I guess Tenney gets our vote this week.
Thanks, Shari. I think Tenney wears it best!
This is such a hard choice this week, but my vote goes to Tenney. This outfit reminds me of the clothing worn at my town’s Heritage Days.
Tenney is my choice. Between the freckles and the blonde braids she reminds me of Mary from Little House on the Prairie. Just totally adorable! Thank you Shari for this adorable historical outfit and thank you Cinnamon for another delightful opportunity.
Many thanks for the give-away. My vote goes to Tenney! I am just used to Mary Ellen as a 50’s girl!!!!
Thank you Shari for the stunning outfit! I can’t decide which doll I like best, they both look adorable!!!
I just found Pixie Faire and LOVE the site! Both dolls are gorgeous but I think Maryellen wins this time!
Both are adorable but I pick Tenney….I think it’s her freckles!!
They’re both so cute; it’s hard to choose!
My vote goes to Maryellen because the twinkle in her eye reminds me of Laura Ingalls’ slightly rebellious side.
Love Tenney in this. Perfect for a country girl!
I think Tenney wears it best. She seems to be more authentic looking, since bangs were not around until the 20th century. They both look cute in the outfit, though, it’s a very cute one. Thanks for the chance to win, and good luck to everyone that enters.
Love Tenney’s little braids and curls – looks like something mom would do for her prairie girl
Tenney- Her freckles are adorable.
I think Mary Ellen wears it the best. Great costume.
I love the freckles with the bonnet, so very cute. I have to go with Tenney. Thank you Shari for offering the giveaway, the outfits are so well done.
Maryellen- love her hair and eye color with the colors of the outfit
If I were marketing the pattern, I would post both dolls as displayed in the contest. The intent being showcasing the pattern and that it looks splendid on a variety of dolls. If I had to only choose one, my vote goes to Tenny. Her freckles remind me of a country girl who has been in the sun. Her complexion & brown eyes would blend well with any fabric the consumer would choose while Maryellen’s red hair accents the chosen fabric for this particular photo.
They both look so adorable wearing this prairie outfit. I can just hear Tenney’s Mom telling her to make sure that she put on her bonnet so that she wouldn’t get anymore freckles. Maryellen looks just like the rambunctious little that would go chasing after the boys and wanting to play marbles or leap frog with them.
I vote for Maryellen simply because I love red hair so much!
Maryellyn! She is the perfect “Prairie Girl!”
Maryellen wears it best!
I like the Tenney doll best – however, both are beautiful. The Tenney doll has the perfect coloring for the outfit, the hair, eyes and freckles just really make her look authentic for this time period.
This outfit looks super cute on Tenney!
I think they both look good but I would have to vote for Tenney
Thank you for your generosity! I think Tenney is just stunning in this beautiful outfit—it just suits her to a tee!
Beautiful dress and bonnet! I’m voting for Tenney, because I feel her coloring stands or nicely with the outfit.
Tough choice! The colors really “pop” on Maryellen, but I choose Tenney because the outfit looks more authentic on her!
Mary Ellen I believe looks the best in this outfit.
Love her red hair..Mine was a nice color red like that
when I was young.
So adorable! Love Maryellen with her green eyes and hair color.
Such a hard choice! Both dolls are beautiful in their prairie dresses. But I am always partial to girls with freckles since my granddaughter and I have them. So I have to vote for Tenney. Thank you, Shari, for the lovely dress and thank you, Pixie Faire, for the giveaway.
