*This outfit was worn by Kirsten in the book Meet Kirsten*.
I have the PM version. It has held up well, except the little velcro pieces around the wrists have just about stopped sticking.

This is one of my favorite Kirsten outfits because it comes with the dress/apron/spoonbag/bonnet... all the colors just blend so nicely. My dress is from 1996-97... its held up very well, but Kirsten doesn't wear it too often so maybe thats why

This is the dress my Kirsten has on. The colours are great on here, but it fits a little snugly (as in, when she's wearing her camisole the velcro won't stay shut) and the velcro snags in her hair.
Sure, it's pretty, but not very practical. Also, the material is very thin. So, a B- for me; I can see her wearing it a lot, but only with grumblings.

Kirsten's meet dress is very pretty. I love the soft blue and scattered flowers. It reminds me of a meadow with a blue sky overhead. I have Kirsten's original meet dress from when I got her in 1987 and it has become well worn over time. My mom had to wash it and now it has a soft, broken in feel. The velcro has worn out and doesn't stick very well. I wish the collar and cuffs were really removable the way they would have been on a real dress from 1854. They don't get as dirty though! I this dress and think it is very pretty. Grade: A   |

I love Kirsten's meet dress - so simple and pretty! I especially love how the deep blue (but not too deep blue) dress brings out her crystal-blue eyes! The only problems I have are: 1. the sleeves sometimes wrinkle a little bit, and 2. the dress has stretched out a bit in the torso area. Other than that - great, practical dress for Kirsten!

I find this dress to be a pretty dress. Mine is from 1994. It feels thin, and I was not expecting the way the sleeves Velcro. I worry about breaking for some reason. I do think the bonnet and apron go nicely, but Kirsten has prettier dresses.
Overall I think a B is sufficient.

I'm not sure if this is a good place to put this or not, but I couldn't find a comparison shot of Kirsten's Meet dresses and thought it could be useful! While my lighting leaves a bit to be desired, the patterns show up well:  The dress on the left is a West German dress, circa 1986; the dress on the right was made in Hungary, circa 1994. |
