Thanks everyone,

Both dolls look lovely in this unique outfit But I chose Tenny. thank you for such a wonderful gift and presentation. My great Niece would love this beautiful doll and outfit.
They’re both so pretty it is hard to choose, but Maryellen has a little more sparkle. So she gets my vote.
This is a beautiful little doll with an adorable outfit! I love them both.
Tenney gets my vote. But both are adorable.
This was a really hard choice. Both dolls look very good in the Laura Ingalls dress and bonnet. I first read the Little House books when I was in 3rd grade in 1962. I didn’t own any of the books but relied on school and a rare trip to the public library. The details in the books are amazing. I remember reading The Long Winter at school during a reading break and was amazed to discover that it wasn’t winter and snow outside when time to stop reading! The books are so good. I made sure my own daughter had a set to read, 35 years later! I love the pattern and chose Tenny.
Definitely MaryEllen … gingers rule!
Thanks Shari :) I think both models are gorgeous but Maryellen’s hair distracts you so I would say Tenney models the outfit best.
Beautiful dress and both dolls are great, I think Tenney’s got it though with all those freckles, and the big brown eyes. Just wears it better!
I think Maryellen looks great in this beautiful outfit!!!
Tenny brings back memories of Little house on the prairie. A show I watched with my three daughters growing up.
I vote for Tenney! She’s like Mary on Little House on the Prairie! 🙂
Tenny is so adorable in the outfit and the freckles just add to the look.Reminds me of little house on the prairie’s women.
They are both adorable, but Mary Ellen has such beautiful eyes. I also love the historical outfits.
Love Tenney’s adorable face!
I think Maryellen looks best. Her red hair and green eyes make the colors in the outfit pop.
Thank you
Tenny for sure. Love the freckles and hair
They both look great in this color but Tenny is much like Laura and wears the prairie dress best.
My choice is Maryellen. The outfit is lovely.
Tenny, Those freckles just highlight the beauty of the outfit.

Yes, have to agree with many others – Tenny looks like she has been out on the Prairie with her blonde hair and freckles. Thanks to Shari and Pixie Faire for the many contests and freebies!
Love them both but Mary Ellen’s red hair wins over the freckles by a narrow margin in my book.
I think Tenney looks the best in it because the bangs on Mary Ellen takes away from the bonnet.
They both look adorable in the outfit but I chose Tenney.
I think Tenney wears it best. Love her hair and face…thanks
Maryellen wears it best and Shari that outfit is grand. Thanks to both of you for making this a great entry even when I do not win.
My vote goes to Tenney. I think it is because I can see all of her pretty face. She suits the outfit very nicely.
Tenney has a great face for a bonnet. It looks very natural on her. Thank you Shari!
I love both dolls in this gorgeous outfit! I voted for Tenney because I love that loose curl of her hair and those adorable freckles.
Love the coloring on Mary Ellen. She gets my vote.
Tenney looks like she is living in history on the prairie, where the wind blows the prairie grass and makes it look like waves for as far as the eye can see. I think Tenney wears it best. Thank you Shari and Cinnamon.
Thanks Shari for such an adorable historic outfit. I love the outfit on both dolls but voted for Maryellen.
Tenney is my choice, she looks like she’s been out walking the prairie with her freckles

I think Tenney in this case. I love her hair!
I have to say they both look adorable, but Tenney with her freckles edges ahead. Adorable pattern, thank you Shari!
I think Maryellen wears it best with her strawberry hair. The outfit is nicely detailed and the color choice is perfect.
Love Maryellen the best with her red hair and hazel green eyes – really compliments the outfit! Thanks for sharing the outfits and the chance to win!!
My daughter’s first AG doll was Kirsten, so I have to vote for Tenney, but I love Maryellen too! I’m a bit partial to redheads, having several in our family tree.
Tenney wears it best with her braids and freckles!
I love this outfit, Little House on the Prairie was my favorite show as a kid, I always wanted to have a dress like this! Both girls are beautiful, but Tenney just somehow looks like she belongs in that dress! Thanks!

Tenney looks so authentic (no bangs)(and cute) in this wonderful historical outfit. Thank you once again ladies for offering this wonderful outfit as a free gift for some lucky winner. Good luck everyone.

I think Tenney’s freckles and curls add to the look, so I think she wears it best. Thanks to Shari for helping with the giveaway!

Love both
