Love the strawberry blonde hair of Maryellen, the freckles on Tennyson are cute too. It was hard to choose.
Love the freckles with this outdoor outfit.
Mary Ellen :)!
They are both adorable but I think the lovely outfit looks best on Tenney. Her freckles are perfect.
Maryellen is my choice. Thank you Shari. Love your patterns.
This one was really hard to choose! I finally went with Mary Ellen. Both are beautiful!
Thanks so much for your wonderful giveaways Cinnamon and Shari. Love Tenney.
Tenney has got this one without a doubt. The freckles make the whole ensem. complete
It was a hard decision for me. I love Tenney’s freckles, but I love Maryellen’s hair and eyes. My daughter is reading Laura Ingall’s books for the first time and this is a very special outfit.
I love the outfit and I have to go with Maryellen as she looks like my great-niece who has hair the same colour.
Maryellen!
What an adorable outfit. I love the detail on the apron pockets. I think it looks great on both dolls, but I think I’ll go with the red hair.
It has to be Maryellen. Her red hair complements her outfit!
Tenney looks right at home in this outfit.
I vote for Maryellen. The colors look so good on her
Love Tenny
Tenney’s my choice in this marvelous outfit. Thanks!
What an adorable outfit! Tenney gets my vote,
I love Tenney. And with that fair skin, she definitely needs that bonnet to wear in the hot sun.
Tenney, for sure. She’s a dead ringer for my French granddaughter .
Both are lovely. I voted for Tenney
My mother’s name was Mary Ellen and have a daughter and gd with red hair so I vote for Mary Ellen. Beautiful outfits
Maryellen wears it best
Oh my gosh, this outfit is so darling! It’s a tough choice but I like Tenney the best. Thank you for the fun giveaway.
I like Maryellen the best!
Tenny is the doll that wears it best! Her freckles are adorable. Thank you Shari for giving away such a beautiful historical outfit!
Darling pioneers! Both dolls are adorable in this outfit, but I choose Maryellen as my favorite in this particular outfit…because of her coloring. The greenish tones in the bonnet makes her eyes pop and shine.
So cute pattern and fabric choices. They look great on both dolls. Thanks so much for all your great patterns.
My granddaughter got Mary Ellen for Christmas and i just love her and her 1950’s look. However, in this outfit, it’s Tenney for me. The freckles and hair style just make me think Laura Ingles! Ladies i adore this prairie outfit. Think ill be making this. I had never thought to do an apron and add some my own embroidery to it. Thx for this pattern
Both are sooo beautiful.
My vote goes to Maryellen.
Gorgeous. We’ve been sewing a ton of prairie outfits.
Although I would love to win Tenny, I think it looks like she has lipstick on, so my vote goes to Maryellen.
I vote for Maryellen.
Tenney looks absolutely stunning in this outfit. What a wonderful design to completely change the focus of that doll. Well done!
I think Tenney wears the outfit the best. With those freckles she has on her beauttiful face, she could not hellp but win! She just looks like she belongs in that era.
MaryEllen is best.
I like the outfit. Both dolls wear it well but my vote went to Mary Ellen.
Maryellen looks more authentic in the outfit. Tenny’s looks to modern.
I vote for Tenney. Both dolls look great in this dress. Thank you, Shari, for sharing this pattern and thank you, Cinnamon, for making this give away possible.
I think Maryellen wears it best
Both dolls look very good in this set of patterns, but I think that Tenney looks best in it. Thimbles & Acorns has some really really neat patterns.
Both of them look cute in it but I think tenneys blond hair goes better with the outfit.
Tenney, those freckles are just so cute.
Tough call, I love Tenny, she wears it best. Thank you Shari for such wonderful gift.
I think Tenney wore it best.
Great outfit but I like Tenney wearing it.
I like it better on Maryellen, although they goth look nice. Thank you.
My vote is for Maryellen, the colour combinations fit her look so well. This is a pattern that will adapt so well to the styles I like to make for my granddaughters doll who I called Lucy-Louise.
Thanks Shari and Cinnamon. Tough choice, but I chose Tenney because of my friend of same name (and those cute freckles).
Love the outfit on Maryellen. Thank you for your gift of design, you are so gifted.
Beautiful
I love Maryellen in this lovely dress! The red really lights up her eyes!
I think Tenney looks better. I’m not sure how many girls wore bangs in the 1870’s.
Thank you so much, Sheri
I like Tenny; the blonde hair and red dress go so well together.
Tenney
I chose Tenney—I love both, but Tenney looks especially cute in this outfit, and with the braids.
Both dolls look lovely in this outfit, but I especially love Maryellen’s strawberry blond hair and green eyes with the color of this outfit. Thank you for the chance to win this doll and outfit!
They’re both so cute, but I think Maryellen’s hairstyle is more like what it would be back then so that is my pick. Thanks Shari and Cinnamon for another great give away.
Tenney is too cute! Love her freckles!
I like Mary Ellen the best.
Tenney is getting back to her country roots..
I love the freckles and bonnet on Tenney. The outfit is so sweet. Thanks for all your work
Tenney looks the best.
Both dollies and the outfit are beautiful! Difficult decision, but I couldn’t resist the freckles. I vote Tenney! Thanks so much!!!
I love the outfit on both dolls but Tenney models it best.
Love both of them, and love the outfit. But, MaryEllen is my choice. Thank you, Shari and Cinnamon!
I like MaryEllen’s coloring best with this adorable outfit!
Thank you Shari for this timeless classic…………..reminds me so much of the Little House on the Prairie program. I love both of the dolls in the outfit but Maryellens Hair makes the outfit just pop.
Tenney
Both are adorable but Tenney’s freckles are a win for me.
I love Mary Ellen!
They both look so beautiful! I think Tenney because it brings out her freckles. Thank you Shari
The girls look like the are just about to go to school on “Little House on the Prairie”. Thank you Shari. I voted for Tenney. Although the green scarf shows off MaryEllen’s eyes, there’s just something about Tenney in that dress that’s perfect.
How cute!! Laura Ingalls Wilder would be so proud. I love it!
Such cute outfit. Love it on Mary ellen
I think Maryellen wears this outfit best. I am partial to red heads, though! Thank you Shari for such a cute outfit.
Shari, the outfit is gorgeous. I really like how the fabrics you chose blend together so nicely. Both the girls look lovely in it but my favorite is Tenny!
I really love both girls as they both wear it well!!!! Their just missing a little basket!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!
So cute! Laura is what got me into sewing when I was a little girl!
Thabk you shari f9r that beautiful outfit. I seriously cant choose. Theyre both so beautiful in that outfit. With Tenney the outfit brings out her cute freckles and with Maryellen it highlights her beautiful strawberry- blonde hair. But if i must coose i qwould say that i like Maryellen most.
Tenney wears it best.
Such a lovely outfit! Love it! I esp love it on Tenney!
I love it on both, but especially on Tenney!
I think Tenney looks the part with her cute freckles. Thank you!
I love Mary Ellen. Love the outfit.
Shari’s work is, as always, gorgeous. The colors are at their best on Maryellen, to my mind. Her strawberry blonde hair just pops and her hazel eyes look green in it.
Thanks for such a great giveaway. I think both dolls are adorable, but Tenney has an authentic prairie look.
Love Tenney in this outfit! Thanks Shari.
I like it best on Tenney
Tenney is my choice, no prairie lady would want bangs down on her face to get all wet with sweat while going about the numerous chores every day.
Tenney
Thanks for this. I like both, but I think Tenney wears it best.
Another darling outfit! Always love the patterns and inspiration! And the wonderful giveaways. I love Tenney in this outfit!
This was a very hard choice the pattern and fabric are fabulous on both, but I decided my heart twinged just a bit more for Tenny. Plus my DGD would love Tenny!
Maryellen!
I love both of these girls this is a hard on for me, but I am going to say Maryellen wears it best. Thank you
I vote for Maryellen. I like her best.
