Sisterhood Boutique™ by the Alexander Doll Company, a New
York-based company that continues to draw on the tradition, elegance
and innovation of Madame Alexander® dolls. Ivy Rose™
is a "first" for the Alexander Doll Company.

Ivy Rose™ doll collection hopes to unify women who like
creator and founder, Rochelle McAllister, desires a purpose driven
lifestyle and a natural appreciation for fashion and style.
The three dolls from
the 2009 “Pretty As Is” collection include the 2009
Ivy Rose™, Ivy, and Rose. Like the first Ivy Rose™
doll created in 2008, each aspect of the 2009 collection has been
meticulously considered as each doll is hand-crafted by Alexander
Doll Company. This exquisite heirloom doll is perfect for sorority
sisters, gift giving, and doll collectors alike. Ivy Rose™,
Ivy and Rose, celebrates the diversity of beauty with in the sisterhood
of women. “Pretty, takes on many forms. The bonds we honor
and the ties that bind us help us to realize pretty is physical,
mental, and emotional and as created-beings we are Pretty As Is™,”
says McAllister as she created the collection’s concept.

About The Sisterhood
Boutique™
The initial concept for The Sisterhood Boutique™ came about
when Rochelle McAllister was preparing to apply to business school.
The process of preparing essays allowed her to dream big and to
realize her passion lies somewhere between the world of fashion
and the universe of femininity. McAllister seeks to build a company
that combines her personal affections with her eclectic and entrepreneurial
spirit. Through The Sisterhood Boutique™ and the dolls we
create, McAllister’s aim is inspire the next generation
of women entrepreneurs. Additionally, it is her hope to collaborate
with other women who like her, in addition to being purpose driven,
also and have a natural appreciation for fashion and style. We
actively seek to build business relationships with liked minded
individuals.
McAllister is currently
a first-law student at Howard University School of Law. She received
her MBA from the Goizueta School of Business at Emory University
in 2006 and her Bachelor’s degree in Finance from Oakwood
University in 1998. Ms. McAllister was initiated into Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority, Inc. on January 26, 1997 and currently resides
