How it works
Think of a subscription box, but for young girls who receive regular letters in the mail that continually build out a "story."
The letters are brought to life by the Dear Emily companion doll. Each doll is thoughtfully handcrafted. Her soft cotton body and hand painted face give her a sweet, china-doll like demeanor, making her the perfect companion for both cozy reading or any adventure. She is approximately 16 inches tall and arrives in dress and a simple undergarment.
Each doll comes with her first letter addressed to a "dear friend." Young girls then have the opportunity to register their doll with her new, given name, and thus all subsequent letters will arrive addressed to "Emily," "Matilda," "Anne," and so forth.
Over the course of six letters, the doll's penpal invites you into discovering life in Victorian England, providing inspiration and impetus for girls to creatively develop the world of their Dear Emily doll. ​​

Common Questions
Is my daughter too young?
​
Dear Emily dolls are geared for girls between the ages of 6-12. Children grow and learn differently, and because of that a six year old girl with parental assistance may enjoy the letters as much as a nine year old girl.​ The doll is not suitable for toddlers.
How do I care for the doll?​
​
Her hair may be softly finger combed and then braided for everyday use. Her body is not washable, but a damp wash rag or gentle stain remover stick may be applied if doll skin comes in contact with dirt or certain foods.
