The 18" Gabriela doll has warm brown eyes that open and close, and curly dark-brown hair. She has a huggable cloth body, and her movable head and limbs are made of smooth vinyl. She comes with the Gabriela paperback book, plus her signature outfit." Retail value: $115
Beforever Melody: According to American Girl® Melody has deep-brown eyes that open and close, and thick black hair. She comes in an authentic 1964 outfit including, a bright blue-and-green houndstooth A-line dress with a blue cowl collar, a blue bow on the chest, and blue bows on the side pleats, a blue ribbon headband with a bow for her hair, underwear, socks, and shiny blue patent shoes with bows on the toes.

I love Gabriela’s curly hair! I vote for her
Girl of the Year Gabriella wears it best – no doubt! She looks so lovely in that color!! The dress it gorgeous! I want it in MY size!!!
I think Melody wears it best. The dress looks like it is from her time. Thank you Shari and Pixiefaire for another wonderful giveaway.
The dress looks great on both girls but Melody’s 60’s hairstyle goes best with this dress!. I had that same hairstyle in the 60’s!
Gabriel looks like my great grandaughter . She is beautiful. Eileen
Gabriela’s hair makes the outfit!
Both beairiful, however I like Gabriela better!
I think Melody wears the dress best of all. I like her sleek smooth hair style. She has a confident pose and is ready to go shopping for more Pixie Faire styles. I had a dress just like hers and I loved it. Even made it myself. I learned to sew at a very young age because my mother was a seamstress and taught me.
I think Gabriella looks so good in it ! Looks so cute with her curly hair
I think doll the year Gabriela models the dress best because of her curly hair super cute.
I like Gabriella with the curly hair which I think adds to the look. Love this outfit!
Melody’s flip is adorable and goes with the wrap dress.
I think it looks best on Melody.
Gabrella wears the color better like the hair style also
I vote for Gabriella. Love her curly hair!
Love this on Melody.
Melody get the nod from me, she is sleek and totally modern.
Tough to choose!
I’ll have to say Gabriella. There’s something about her hair with the outfit that tipped me in her favor :)
I had to flip a coin, they both look great! Melody wins!
Gabriella
Thank you Shari, for the lovely outfit! I believe Gabriella sports it best – with her generous curls and lively personality. Happy Easter _!
Gabriella is most beautiful. The dress looks like her style for sure. Both dolls are beautiful, but I am partial to Gabriella.
Sleeker look with a simple dress. Beautiful dolls. Thanks for sharing Shari.
I think Gabriella, beautiful eyes and hair, she is oh so charming!
I’d have to say Gabriella. I just LOVE that hair, but more importantly, she gives off a “this outfit is ME!” feeling.
I think Melody’s hair style reflects the sleek, modern touch much more than Gabriella.
Melody, gets my vote-it just has to be, as those bangs are simple and suit the lines of the dress just perfectly IMHO
I think Gabriella is the winner and thanks to Shari from Thimbles & Acorns for the outfit, which is darling.
My vote is for Gabriella. Thank you Shari for doing this. I love fridays.
I think both girls look fabulous in this outfit. This outfit goes nicely with Melody’s era, but I think Gabriella looks great in this outfit. I love the way her hair looks with the headband. My vote is for Gabriella
Both are gorgeous but think I like Melody the best. Agree with another person who said her hairstyle went better with the simple lines of the dress.
Melody would be my choice. I think that her hairstyle looks nicer with the simple, clean lines of the dress.
Love it on both dolls. If I have to choose, I choose Gabriella. Thanks so much for the give away and cute patterns. #thimblesandacorns
I vote for Melody
Melody looks like she is from the 70’s and that seems to me the right era for her and the dress.
My vote is for Melody.
Melody’s simpler hairstyle accords better with the lines of the dress. Gabriella’s curls are so fussy that they overwhelm the dress, especially in the delicate shade shown. Might be a different story if the dress were in a more substantial color.
Hard to decide – but I think Melody
They’re both adorable but I think the style fits Melody the best!
Melody! I made myself a similar dress when I was a pre-teen in the sixties.
Memories…l I think I like Melody in this outfit the best.
I think Melody wears it the best. So adorable!
Melody wears it best but they are both beautiful
I like Melody, she wears this so well.
BF Melody
Beforever Melody
Gabriella looks the best.
Tough choice. Both their hairstyles suite the feel of the outfit so I close both.
Gabriella….I love her hair and the headband….and of course the dress makes it all happen!
Gabriella’s tresses just go better with that dresses. (Sorry, couldn’t help myself!)
Shari, what a beautiful dress! But of course, its Thimbles and Acorns and your styles are fantastic. THANKS for the giveaway!
I think Melody wears it best!
The dress style is reminiscent of the 60’s and both dolls wear it well. While Melody has a hair style that compliments this look, Gabriella looks beautiful wearing the outfit and proves that a great style never goes out of fashion! Gabriella gets my vote!
I think Gabriella is the best!
I think Melody looks adorable in the outfit!
I have to admit Gabriella looks best in it
Hmm..tough choice-they both look lovely but I think I like the bright green on Gabriella!
I like the outfit best on Beforever Melody
I like Gabriella the most.
Beforever Melody has a retro hairstyle that better complements the 60’s dress.
I Voted for Gabriela Because that is my Youngest Grandaughters Nama and she Brings me Luck so we will see I love The Doll Gabriella she is so Beautiful as is Melody

Gabriela looks so nice in the green!

Tough decision, but I really like Gabriella in this instance. Her hair and features make her look so retro in this dress!!

My heart belongs to Gabriella. So cute and so like my sweet little gal who would love to own her!
I think both dolls are beautiful, but Melody’s hair suits the era that the dress is from. Thank you Thimbles & Acorns!

Gabriella wears it best . But they both look beautiful .
The outfit is lovely and I love the way Gabriella’s curls fall over her shoulders.
I have never one a thing.
Kind of a hard choice, both dolls look amazing!
LOVE THOSE BANGS! GOT MY VOTE, BUT THE OUTFIT IS ALSO A WINNER. SO MANY DIFFERENT MATERIALS TO CHANGE THE COSTUME TO FIT THE OCCASION.
I love the outfit on Gabriella! Thanks, Shari, for offering such a cute outfit!
Melody could be me 50 years ago!!! Love her, plus I had a dress very similar to this one. Too funny!
I vote for Melody. Both are beautiful but I think the style fits Melody better.
I really like Gabrella, she gets my vote.
I LOVE it on Melody
Both ladies bring a style of “Pizza” and I hope it ends up being a tie. I vote for GABRIELLA only because she is a little more contemporary with her stanza. How do you vote for one or the other when both are as darling as the other.
I love Gabriella with her curly brown hair.
It looks perfect on Melody.
Mélody ;;; même si Graziella est jolie également…. Ne me faites pas craquer…. sinon j’engage une procédure d’adoption pour les deux..
Melody
I like it on Melody the best.
This looks good on Melody and is the era that she would wear, but I vote for Gabriella. She makes it look completely different and kind of artistry. Both dolls are wonderful. Thank you for another amazing giveaway.
Gabriella for the win! She looks totally ab fab in this.
I just love Gabriella’s wind-swept curls with that headband! Both are great in the outfit but Gabby’s got “the look” this week!
I love the Melody look!
both dolls are cute and wear the outfit nicely.
Both look very nice but Gabriella gets my vote. Thank you for the chance to win.
They both look great but I love it on Gabriella.
Definitely Gabrielle. She reminds me of my niece with that great hair
Melody is my choice. She looks the era and I agree her hairstyle is fitting to her look. I know seven granddaughters of mine would cherish her…….
Gabriella models it the best.
