Help me identify this thrift store girl!

I have my Celtic girls on Liv Hayden bodies or the pale Fashionista bodies. I almost immediately give them a better body when I get one. Hayden is a really good match for them. They're not dead white but they are about as pale as any Barbie gets except for the Twilight vamps. The Fashionista or Sophie bodies work too but they are just a little pinker. Hayden is the closest match and I think they all look pretty nice on that body actually. Looking at her now I realize she looks a lot like a redheaded version of the Princess of Russia that I just got. She's made up a bit more extreme but they look a lot alike. POR is definitely blonde though. Some pics make her look Strawberry blonde but she is not. But make her a RH, give her elf ears and a bit more makeup and she could be the Queen. They're very close.

YAY For Finding Dream Dollies For Good Prices!! I'm really glad for you, Magkelly! She is super pale, though, she's actually much paler than her body(especially in dim light, the difference looks really huge in the evening); she's probably as pale as the twilight girls.

Also, a question: Should I give her dress tiny fasteners or just sew it back onto her? Someone tried to take it off, but gave up because the neck thing doesn't go over her head

She looks to have the same skin tone as POI, so you're not talking Twilight body and in any case you don't want that because those bodies are not articulated at all. Hayden is very, very pale, and almost exactly that shade. It's not so much that Twilight bodies are too pale, although they are paler than the Irish girls actually, but that they are the wrong shade of white for a swap. You might want to try a Hayden first. You can get Liv dolls for $10. Twilight dolls run a fair bit more anyhow. Twilight dolls are a bit more of a paper white than the Irish ones. The dresses on Aine and Deidre were sewn shut. They don't wear their Celtic garb all the time but I did cut them open and add snaps, yes. I hate it when they sew them in. I prefer being able to remove my doll's clothing.
