My daughter absolutely LOVES this doll! Since she has curly red hair just like my daughter, she was a big hit!However, Miss Dottie's red hair sheds all over EVERYTHING. My beige carpet in my daughter'r room needs to be vaccumed constantly, and my daughter's tights and blankets need a lint brush roller after every nap.Since my daughter is so fond of Miss Dottie, she is a permanent fixture in our house - we can't send her back. But, the mess is driving my husband and I crazy! The manufacturer should be advised about this problem so that they can correct it in the future.
