Josefina wearing the inline skate gear. We are the original owners of this outfit, and it has held up well. It is a fun outfit, and was quite well used at our house. I give the outfit a solid A!

I found this by chance on eBay looking for a different pink bitty dress, and fell in love. I think it works perfectly as a 50's-style dress for #21, Marcy.

The fabric is really nice--it has some texture to the weave, and enough weight to hang nicely. Marcy is wearing it with a petticoat underneath. The sleeves have little bows, and there are tucks at the waist and hem.

I can't speak to any of the other pieces in the set, as I only have the dress, but it gets a definite A from me.

Okay, so apparently a dresser trunk is actually a thing:

I always assumed AG had just sort of compromised and made a trunk with drawers for efficiency, I had no idea there were real late 19th c. trunks that were originally built that way.

I really like this outfit for Kit!



I took some close ups of the pieces.











The parts are well made, and the mitt and ball are very real looking. The only issue I had was with the hat. I bought the outfit on ebay, so I wanted to wash each piece. I thought the hat might bleed, and it did. It doesn't look so bad though, and at least I know it is clean! I give this outfit an A, it is solid Kit!

Here are a couple pictures of her chair in a room setting. I love the colors, and the fact that the ottoman top lifts off for storage. 

I like this dress quite a bit, although I'm not sure the color is right for Saige.  The band around the middle goes all the way around the back which is a plus.  There is also a bit of tulle around the bottom of the lining layer which is a nice touch. The boots are realy cute, I like that they're low cut which makes them different from all the other AG cowboy boots. The necklace is pretty and will look good with many other outfits. Overall this is a great outfit, a solid A.

The sweater sleeves aren't full-length on BB either. The sandals are a little tight, but they do fit my doll. They velcro in the back, which helps to put them on.

It makes a difference in the length of the sweater whether or not the sweater is pulled up higher or lower on the neck.

I got these skates as part of the winter swap at the end of last year (even before I got Caroline) and this is really a very superior set, albeit with a few minor issues. The skates are very heavy and quality - another reviewer mentioned that the skates in the book were new, but those were made for Rhonda, and Caroline had had hers for awhile so they would probably be a bit worn like these are. The shape is just like ice skates in period drawings with the little swirl at the tip, and a doll can stand in them easily while wearing them. I think the blades are kind of oddly thick though and don't actually look like they'd cut into the ice, and I wish that the faux buckles had been a little more realistic and less plasticky, but they are still nice.

The boots were really tiny and only fit on my Agnes Lydia over her thinnest stockings. I think they've stretched out a bit but they were tough to get on, even for me (and I usually don't have much problem with doll shoes). They are made of a nice material and I think Agnes Lydia is going to get them to go with her burgundy winter dress (Caroline isn't shown wearing these in her books).

The mittens seem a little bit fragile. They look really nice on the doll (and their earth tone coloring seems realistic) but there is not much stretch to the cuff and no elastic, so I'm a bit nervous stretching them over the doll's hand. Like the shoes, though, they look very nice when they are finally on.

I'd give this set an A and take off the plus simply because of the few tightness issues I noted. Still though, I would definitely buy it as it is a lovely piece for Caroline's collection!

Here's more pictures of Genevieve!

Ordered it from Ebay and it's more beautiful than the photo. A+

If you are not sure about this outfit because of the price, it is definitely worth it. The outfit is made out of a material similar to a bathing suit. The colour is very different in person than in the magazine. It looks much better in person. The skort is a charcoal grey.

The cleats are really well done and a nice size too They fit on a little sister doll who have bigger feet then mattel AG's.

The face mask is adorable although I am not sure why the writing is orange?

The bouncy ball is also orange. I haven't played lacrosse since highschool and don't remember what the ball was like but somehow an orange bouncy ball seems a bit odd.

The handle on the stick makes it really easy for the doll to hold. I wish AG would make more handles for other things like this.

I haven't tried the mouthguard stickers since the doll I bought this for doesn't have teeth

The hair elastics are a little lower quality than AG has made in the past in fact they remind me more of the OG elastics.

My DD has this outfit and bought it for her future Saige (she is saving up for her). She mostly has had it on Cécile.



This picture is posted in the review section. I think the dress looks great on dark skinned dolls. It really pops.

I think the lining on the dress is nice as is the little bit of tulle on the bottom to puff out the skirt. The necklace is one of their nicer necklaces. The boots are killer. As much as I hate this color of boot for Cécile and MG, I love it with this dress!

Who wants more pictures?

Note: I have seen two sets of tables and two extra chairs. The two extra chairs matched one of the tables but the other table & chairs were a distinctly darker stain. Unfortunately I never took pictures of them together.

This was always my favorite table set. I like that it works for a wide range of times and I like wooden furniture in general. Though I could get dolls to sit in the chairs I tend to be frustrated with how the dolls look sitting in any chair, which is part of why I sold it.

You can't actually seat four dolls in this configuration, but it looks cute. Shown with back leaf down and front leaf up:


In case anyone cares how the leaves stay up (note that one of the leaf-holders is missing on mine, you can just see one here):
