Well, my SIL loved the beaded sweater. It was a bit big in the back so she opted to use snaps instead of buttons so she could cinch it in a bit more. I will make adjustments on the next outfit.
On my SIL's doll forum, it's delightful how life stories are spun around the beautiful dolls in great clothes, usually with a healthy dose of good humor thrown in. So in that vein, I send this picture to you all, with the caption: "Lana graciously stops to chat with the paparazzi amid the cherry blossoms in Philadelphia". The pic should be here (I think I finally have this down-- I HOPE! LOL):
