It really is something special. The fashionable clothes she is wearing and product guide which tells you all the other Designafriend products you can currently purchase attached. My daughter is thrilled by this purchase I made and hours of role play will follow. We look forward to purchasing more Designafriend dolls.'

Lovely looking doll, bracelet,charms and clothing sets are beautiful and good quality although I feel the doll itself is cute light and feels delicate for the price I expected it to be more posable and durable plastic very thin which is a real shame etc. Love the outfits though . Wish there were girls outfits to match the dolls .'

Not only are they good quality and value, but they reflect modern life in their different character stories (such as travelling, blogging) and also diversity in their looks (they aren’t all blondes with blue eyes and white skin). Well worth building up the collection.'
5/5 Lizzib 'Good quality doll, good price, very much wanted'

5/5 Sophie24 'Lovely doll. It comes in a lovely box and good quality'
4/5 Sugarplumfairy 'My daughter wanted a "American girl doll" and this is similar as far as I can tell but much more sensibly priced. There is a vast selection of dolls, outfits and accessories to collect. What I liked about this doll was the soft body and the gorgeous silky hair. Most dolls hair in my experience is a nylon and ends up a matted mess but this dolls hair feels real!. The only negative is that the shoes dont stay on but apart from that it's lovely and was a big hit with my 5 year old.'
