Madelon's Ballet Belle Review, an Our Generation Outfit.

Madelon recently purchased Ballet Belle a new outfit by Our Generation. Today she is sharing photos of how the outfit fits her American Girl doll

Here is a close up of the lace over lay!

With out the tutu

Two layers of the tutu....

A view of the back...

I love the leg warmers and the shoes, which are not done up at the back on the American girl but are a closer fit on the 18 inch Our Generation Doll for sure!
Thank you Madelon for sharing your review  with us today!

Maryellen's New Yellow Dress a NJ Fun Find Of Madelon's

Some dolls are pretty in pink but Maryellen is stunning in yellow! This is a dress that Madelon bought for her dolls while on vacation in New Jersey over the last few weeks, the same designer that did her bubble fish dress.

 This sweet yellow dress has great details and I love the way it hangs. The thing I love is the ruffle and the buttons down the front!

The fit of the dress at the waist is lovely! The pleats are perfect!
Thank you Madelon for sharing this lovely fun find! It is always wonderful to find doll clothing hand made by true artisans who clearly know and love our 18 inch dolls.
