"For my Daughter"
She loves this doll! She lives in New Zealand, spent her time for her masters degree in Cambodia and Indonesia. I purchased a sister doll so, as she says, we are in perfect balance! The quality is top-notch and where else are you going to find this quality and this sort of item but Novica!?
