    I bought a cabbage patch doll with blond hair, plaid skirt, blue shirt and embroidered jacket. she is adorable, exactly as described, came quickly, and packed very, very nicely for shipping. The seller went to a lot of extra work and time to make the packaging very pleasing including adding some extra goodies, and cards. This doll is going to be very cute in my collection. Thank You
