We're often asked, "What doll would you recommend to give someone who is just starting?" Well, here is the perfect doll to introduce a young lady to this potentially life-long hobby. Why? She's small enough at 14 inches for a young lady who herself is still growing. She's all silicone, as opposed to cloth bodied, so more likely to not get damaged by 'not-so-delicate' play. She's beautiful, with an appealing expression. Her one piece romper outfit is not so difficult to maintain as some of the flouncy dresses with layers of over and undergarments. And she's poseable and self sitting... easily displayed by even the youngest collectors.
