Polly is kind of big in proportion to the 18" dolls, but I think she is adorable anyway. If she had been made a bit smaller, she would have fit into the cradle better (like in the Felicity movie) and been more the correct size for a newborn. The cradle is very sweet and looks so cute next to the Windsor chair. I can just see Felicity sitting there working on her sampler and rocking the cradle from time to time! Lin
