Kit's Beach Pajamas and Slippers were introduced in 2000 and retired in 2011. They were reintroduced under the Kit's Birthday Collection branding in April 2023.
Early description: A popular look in the 1930s, beach pajamas were styled after the costumes of Hollywood stars. The nautical flags on the pocket of Kit’s pajamas spell out “I love you” in code. Red slippers and a hairbow complete her look. $20
Birthday Collection description: A popular look in the 1930s, beach pajamas were styled after the costumes of Hollywood stars. Kit can sail off to dreamland in this nautical-inspired set. Includes: Sleeveless one-piece pajamas with a white bodice with blue satin trim, a blue sailor collar with a knotted tie attached, and blue wide-leg bottoms with decorative white buttons on both sides of the waist. The bodice features a pocket on the left side with a graphic of three nautical flags representing I, L, and U in code—to signal “I love you.” A red ribbon tie-on headband. A pair of red slippers with red pom-pom accents and red trim. $34
I could have sworn that there was a thread already started for these, but I didn't see one. How odd, when americanmommy did something for all the other Kit items!
I will have a picture posted tomorow, probably. I want to do it in daylight, but I didn't get home from my dad's house (where I was recuperating from anasthaesia) until after dark. On the bright side, my package with the pyjamas and photography set was waiting for me. Yay!
Okay, now to business:
Kit's Beach Pajamas, KDO
$26
A+
The pajamas are a silky fabric and one piece. They veclro up the back, and the sailor's collar is split and attached to the pjs at the back, and the velcro. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well (my pain meds feel like they're struggling to kick in), but I was curious about whether it would be a flap or not, and it isn't a "true" flap.
Anyway, the blue is a beautiful Crayola-crayon blue, very rich and bright. The trouser part of the pyjamas has wide, flared legs. Very comfortable and chic, just like you would have seen movie stars wearing.
My hair ribbon came wrapped around a small card, like you cna do with embroidery threads or yarns, and it's the first of the hair ribbons I've received that is like that. Very, very nice!
The slippers are just darling. They're a faux-leather and bright red, and just like a pair of slide-on shoes, or stiff ballet shoes where the top part comes up higher over the foot. On that part is a big red pompom on each - again, SO cute. If I could get another pair of these I might take off the pompom and add small red beads or sequins to make them dress shoes.
As of right now, I don't have a single complaint about the set, but I haven't put it on my doll yet. She's still chillaxing with her new Pepperminsticks clothes, and I can't bear to undress her yet.
These would make a really fun slumber party outfit - something that a modern girl could wear out and about without looking like she's in her pajamas, but still very comfotable slumber party-ish. (I'm not the only one who had slumber parties and walked up the road to the 7-11 for slushies at sunset, am I? )
