She's Holly Hobbie,but an updated modern version.
This is Design My Style Holly Hobbie.
This version of Holly Hobbie was made by Mattel in 2006.
She's 12 inches tall.
There were three dolls in the series,Holly,and her friends Amy Morris and Carrie Baker.
This is Holly's original outfit,minus her shoes.
She has jeans,with fake patches...
Her jeans have an attached faux suede belt and close in the back with Velcro.
She's wearing a ruffled blouse with another faux patch. It also closes in the back with Velcro.
She also has a a newsboy cap,with more patches and a heart shaped button.
Her other accessory is a friendship bracelet.
The Design My Style dolls came with an activity kit that "lets girls create with beads, sequined stickers or tie-dye art for the dolls' fashions and a furniture accessory". I have no idea what their furniture accessory was.
There were also fashion packs sold for the dolls.
Holly is jointed at the neck, shoulders, and hips. Her head can tilt side to side and upward a bit.
Her arms can lift up and down, as well as out to the sides,and they can rotate.

| I have two of these. This girl loaned her clothes to another doll. She was the doner because she didn't have a hat anyway. Her hair is curlier though. |
She has bend knees,but they don't bend very far.
Her leg joints allow her legs to move in some ways that allow for interesting posing.
And she has huge feet.
When I was trying to photograph the poses with the naked one I thought she looked like a fairy or a wood sprite,so she posed fairly modestly in nature.
The modern Holly dolls lack some of the charm of the old fashioned original Holly dolls. But they are cute in their own right.

That's the doll for today. Tomorrow we'll see a Holly Hobbie friend.
