Entry from: Kathryn (aka Del/Delaney) from delaneylovesag.blogspot.com,
Description: Kenzie (McKenna) is having fun exploring the great outdoors in her new colorful skirt I found in my baby doll clothing box!


AGMarket's Thoughts: I love the angle on this. She looks very "springy". :) Maybe she needed leggings? ;)
Priya''s Thoughts: Really nice lighting!Con: The photo is stretched out, not that pleasing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(everytime this picture comes out so small?)
Entry from: Sparkle Studios on Youtube

Description: I chose this skirt because I love the lime green chiffon material with pink roses on it :) I also love the  three ruffles that complete the skirt and gives it shape :) I also love the way the pink tank top I paired with it brings out the colour in the roses :)



AGMarket's Thoughts: How fun! She looks ready for spring! But, kinda simple...
Priya''s Thoughts: Contrast of colors great! Con: The angle that the doll is positioned at, the angle the picture is taken at doesn't work for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Entry from: Jessie #1

Description: Here are a few shots of my AG, Rachel in a green Hawaiian print skirt with her swimsuit underneath. Me and my grandmother made this to be a strapless dress but when it comes to spring/ summer I though this would be a perfect skirt. I hope you like it as much as I do ;)



AGMarket's Thoughts: Love how you put her in your backyard with the snow, seems like she is "welcoming" spring! The shirt could of been changed though.
Priya''s Thoughts: Bright color of the skirt is really spring! Cons: Photo quality (grainy, not great lighting)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Entry from:
Chloe Blue!
Description: My little model is Kennly here! She is doing a Leap in her exclusive American girl skirt point shoes and homemade leotard! I chose this skirt because I thought the ruffles in the skirt would pop out and I recently got it, I think it's just quite Adollable!




 
AGMarket's Thoughts: I want to know how you made her do a leap. :P I love the colors! Maybe backround could of been better?
Priya''s Thoughts: Pros: The consistent use of purple. Cons: Lighting (photo is slightly grainy)

Description: Why I picked this skirt:
Polkadots are a Fashion trend this spring. Also it has a cute ruffle and is the perfect length for outdoor play! I made this outfit for my little sisters birthday present so I also wanted to incorporate something I made for this contest! Thanks!! I hope I get to the next challenge!




AGMarket's Thoughts: Cute.
Priya''s Thoughts: Pros: Bright colors in outfit. Cons: Angle photo is taken at isn't super pleasing

Entry from: Jessie (#2)

Description: Sophie and McKenna are rocking their new spring skirts as they play with their dogs in their front yard.


AGMarket's Thoughts: Really love these! They are having FUN! WHILE looking fashionable. I have to say they are so cute!
Priya''s Thoughts Great lighting, nice contrast of colors but the way the dogs are arranged doesn't seem right.

Entry From: Katie, Adollable dolls!

Description: this blue, polka dot skirt is made of cotton material.  A matching sash is tied at the top of the skirt.  It pairs beautifully with a white tee, beads, and some strappy sandals.  The skirt was made by me with my own pattern.

Why I Chose This Skirt:  I chose this skirt because the color is a very pretty color for spring and summer.  Blue is also my favorite color.  The style is definitely in right now too.  I also just love polka dots. 


AGMarket's Thoughts: How chic and elegant! But boy, she looks cold! :D
Priya''s Thoughts Pros: Colors of the outfit against the background . Cons: None!

Entry from: Pineapple on Youtube

Description: Saige sporting her "Red Hot" outfit, including a red denim corset for a spunky look, a pair of brown sandals, and a black skirt, complete with colorful peace signs for a pop of color." :D


AGMarket's Thoughts: I love the shirt on this, it goes well and ties everything together. I love the angle and how clear and crisp the picture is! :D
Priya''s Thoughts Pros: Bright colors/patterns . Cons: Would've been nice to show doll's face more

Entry From: Mika

DescriptionI choose this skirt because it really brings out my dolls personality. I mean, JLY dolls are meant to be unique, so, I thought, why not show that with an amazing skirt? It was hard choosing one, but I finally went with this one. The colors are amazing with my doll, Mikayla's, eyes. I hope you liked my entry!

AGMarket's Thoughts: Yay! A releaserain skirt. How fun. ;) Next time, put a piece of paper reflecting her face, so we can see her face more!
Priya''s Thoughts Pros: Colors matching between shirt and skirt. Cons: Angle of the photo, colors are overall sort of dull in the photo too

Entry from: Molly

Description:  My photo is of my A Life of Faith doll Elsie Dinsmore, who is 18 and 3/4 inches...I know you said 18 inches, so I hope this isn't a problem.  This skirt is probably her favorite (it's so hard to choose!) because it has a little apron, which makes it more practical, but the lace makes it more dressy.  It is gathered at the top, making it a very full skirt.  She likes that because she is my Civil War era girl. :)  I'm not sure where I got the skirt--I've had it forever. ;)  Elsie wanted the picture to be taken outside, but today was the first opportunity I had, and it's raining. :P  Anywho, thanks again SO much!


AGMarket's Thoughts: Wow! Yay for different dolls! Cute hair ;) Maybe kinda old fashion?
Priya''s Thoughts Pros: Position of the doll. Cons: Photo is a bit blurry

Entry From: Silence

Description: I chose this skirt because my mom made it out of an old shirt of mine and its one of my favorite doll skirts. I love the print and ruffles, even the colors! Their such neutral colors! 


AGMarket's Thoughts: Cute skirt ;) Love the story behind it! What does she wear with it? We can't tell!
Priya''s Thoughts Pro: Colors used in the photo Con: Angle of photo

Description: Kanani hasn't wore a skirt in a long time, so I kind of forced her to wear one :)
I chose this skirt because the stitches matches her shirt and because I couldn't find any other ones lol :)


AGMarket's Thoughts: Sideways. :(

From: London

DescriptionWith so many different skirt styles now a days it can be hard deciding on one single skirt. Julie loved the high waist while I (London) adored the high-low with a bit of country flare. We decided to use both on the runway. ~ London W. Baker""
