Our Generation Viola 18" Ballet Doll

We didn’t have this long (2-3weeks) before the zip tie that holds the head/neck in place, snapped. My 5 year old was extremely upset as you’d imagine, seeing her baby she has taken care of, now be headless. Traumatizing for sure. be careful for potential complications

Such a pretty dolly. Viola has a very gentle friendly face. She kind of reminds me of Effie, but not as shy. Some of the OG dolls have a ‘chipper’ expression, which is charming, and some have a softer look. It all adds to the impression and diversity of personality, which I love. We actually purchased two Violas. One for my daughter’s friend, and one for my daughter. That’s how much I like her. Viola’s eyes are brown around her pupil, rimmed with green. Her green sweater accentuates this nicely. Her little brown shoes are easy to take off and put back on, and offer a nice sturdy base to help Viola stand unsupported. My daughter was able to do this without help from me. A couple critiques: Viola has very pretty bright warm tone blonde, swirled up in kind of a sock bun. It’s very cute from the front, but a little messy at the back. I noticed that on both dolls upon removing from the packaging. Our daughter’s friend opted to take her hair down immediately, which resulted in nice long wavy hair. Unfortunately, I had a hard time taking Viola’s clothes off of her. My daughter, being 3, likes to dress and undress her dolls. Her green sweater comes off easily, and goes back on with no problem. But her tutu bodysuit is a really tough removal. I think I’m going to end up breaking the threads along the neckline because it’s so tight around the arms as you pull the garment up or down. These threads probably should have been stretchy. Also, the tutu part itself is sew on crooked. It makes the tutu asymmetrical, and does not look intentional. I really like OG clothing and accessories, but this piece seems kind of cheap, unusual for this brand. Viola’s socks are a sheer pink tulle and have gold glitter hearts on them. They’re so cute, but they shed glitter immediately! I have a baby crawling around the living room right now who is sporting some glitter accents! This is to be expected when it comes to chunky glitter. If you’re glitter-phobic, I reccomend that you maybe brush and tap some of this excess into the sink before you hand her over for play time. All this aside, Viola is a sweet dolly with a friendly little face. She seems quiet and serene, and I think she’ll fit well with the pet rabbits and foals the dolls have. I also think a pair of glasses would suit Viola nicely. With her complexion and personality, I would be inclined to choose ‘perfect score’, with glasses included and its plaid overalls dress. For casual days, I can see Viola wearing ‘ready to roam’, with its khaki joggers and cute white linen looking top. This particular outfit would look extra cute with Viola’s green sweater, and the brown shoes she already comes with. I wish OG had pet birds, because I could see a girl like Viola having a pair of love birds or a little parrot. Who knows, maybe that’s on the horizon? What I do know is my daughter has lots of fun times ahead of her with her new dolly friend. I highly recommend Viola.

Our daughter just recieved this doll for her birthday and was so pleased with it. She turned 11 and has been playing with Our Generation dolls for several years. I was glad to see this on her list this year, and that her imaginative play lasts a bit longer. The doll details are fanastic, made well, with high quality.

My daughter absolutely loved this doll

Omg this doll is too cute!

Brilliant doll! My two year old loves it. Super well made and great quality.

LOVE the doll and her clothes. But her head is VERY loose

Looove this doll! Shes so pretty. Only thing that was super annoying was how her hair came… it isn’t all in the bun, so im sure it will all come out and be messy soon, bc its not very secure. None of the product pictures show the bun looking like this

Super cute doll. Her bun did fall out pretty quickly but not a big deal. My 2 and 4 year old girls love playing with her.

the hair was all messed up and looked used. disappointed

Beautiful doll and very well made

Great buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful doll. The attention to detail is perfect.

This doll was just so gorgeous i didn’t care if she was on my 3yr olds Christmas list lol i love her outfit and the detail! I got her alot of stuff to go with her as well. Love this brand! Quality detailed products and not crazy prices!

I bought this doll for my daughter for her birthday and she LOVES it (tooo much!)

love and the perfect gift for my niece.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 4 year old loves this doll! Her arms and legs bend - she is a nice size doll, I was expecting her to be much smaller so that was a nice surprise. She sits nicely in my daughters doll stroller as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My five year old LOVES this ballerina doll. She couldn't wait to unwrap it from the box and start playing. She adores all things dance and dolls so this Viola Our Generation doll really fits the bill. It has cute details with the pale green ballet sweater, pink tutu, leg warmers and high bun. Her face is sweet and delicate looking. The arms are posable and the body is soft which I really like- it doesn't make the doll seem so heavy to tote around. I am very happy with this Viola ballerina doll!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This doll is really sweet. My almost eight year old absolutely loves it. She was thrilled when she opened the box. The doll has several cute details including sparkly sequin socks, a removable shrug, beautiful bun and gold headband. She immediately was carried around the house, renamed Clara from the nutcracker, and did a number of grand jetes. We highly recommend. I think any kid-o or dancer would be thrilled to receive this sweet dancing doll.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed about this doll was all of the little details. The hair is slicked back in a perfect ballet. The green ballet shrug gives a contrast to the pink leotard and tutu skirt. The doll has a soft body and the eyes close when you lay her down. My favorite part of this doll is that you can move the arms to make them into the port de bras ballet positions!!
