Melissa arrived very quickly after my order. She is a very beautiful doll, and even comes in very nice packaging, similar to that of a porcelain doll. My first daughter took pictures with a doll similar to this one, so I wanted something for our second daughter to take pictures with as well... and to have her own keepsake doll. I couldn't be more happy with the quality of "Melissa". I find it risky to purchase a doll online, never having seen it in person before, but this doll has far exceeded my expectations. The detail cannot be seen in the pictures, but she is just stunning in person. The butterflies on her dress were the deciding factor for me. My baby shower had a butterfly theme, so this doll was just a perfect match for my perfect little girl.
