About two months ago, I rescued a Bitty from a resale shop. I never meant to keep her, but of course DD had other ideas. She came with the Beach Set romper, sand pail and shovel that was released in 1996'ish, so I figured she dated to at least then. Softer eyelashes, but not blonde like ONB. Brown hair and eyes, looked a lot like our babies when they were small. She's our Rebecca Rose.

Fast forward to last week, when I received a Bitty from a lovely HB member. I had decided that Becca needed a friend, and I wanted another brown hair/eye combo. Sarah Marguerite is just adorable, although I need to do some touch-up paint on her eyelids. However, when she sits next to her sister, the differences are amazing. See photo below to see the coloring differences. Even the size & shape of their heads are slightly different! Becca is in the teal romper, and Sarah is in pink.

So can these differences be accounted for by the age of the dolls? Has the coloring changed that much? Or do I have two different versions of Bitty here and don't even realize it?

It's very interesting to see the differences, at least to me it is (but then, I am easily amused).
