Review: Maryellen Larkin

Hello! Today, I’m going to do a review of Maryellen Larkin, American Girl’s 1950s doll.

Let’s begin with her outfit.

She comes with a lightweight aqua shrug.

The letter M is embroidered on the left shoulder.

It has a diamond pattern.

Maryellen comes with a striped sundress. It has a sweetheart top with an aqua bow at the neckline.

A matching blue bow encircles the waist.

The pleated skirt goes just past her knees.

Her shoes are strappy black Mary Janes. They secure with Velcro.

A large hairbow is tied around Maryellen’s high ponytail. The bow is attached to a hair scrunchie.

Onto the doll herself. She has light skin and the classic face mold. My Maryellen’s face looks childish and innocent.

She has feathered eyebrows and hazel eyes.

Her hair, describe by American Girl as strawberry blonde, has more than one color woven into the wig: orange-red and several shades of blonde.

She was sideswept bangs.

When you take Maryellen’s hair out of it’s original high ponytail, it comes down to just above her waist.

It curls easily.

Overall, Maryellen Larkin is a gorgeous doll with easy-to-style hair. Buy her from American Girl HERE for $115.
