I'm not 100% when I got this, but I was thinking 1994, and then I noticed a tag on the Nurse's dress that had a ©1994, so more than likely I DID get this around that year (maybe it was 95') I think 1995 was the last year I collected (till I started again as an adult). The doll is closer to the newest version accept her hair is curly and her arms are bent. I wish it came with a letter from Molly's dad...and/or pictures...but beggars can't be choosers. The overall scale of the package/box seems off to me, not that I would really know... The snow globe seems way too big and out of scale for the doll, more like a mini snow-globe for a real girl. It is nearly impossible to refill the water...although I did manage finally by using a squirt bottle meant for melted chocolate (similiar to this one pics.livejournal.com/chubbypanda/pic/003rxr9s) and holding it as tightly against the snowglobe hole as possible (after using a needle nose plyer to unplug the hole)... remarkably though, when I recently pulled out the globe after it being away for 15 or so years, it was only 1/4 empty. The main reason (as a 10 year-old) that I wanted this was for the nurse doll... I remember wishing the doll had the sleep-eyes. She is in really good condition and I don't think she got much play...although her shoes are missing at first I thought maybe she didn't come with shoes..but then I saw the above reviews and now I vaguely remember the shoes constantly falling off...I'll have to search my barbie bin up in the attic... For the original $16 this seems like one of the better/most reasonable deals in terms of price/quality that AG has offered. I'm not good with grading items, so I will let you decide based on what I wrote above and these images:

I LOVE THIS OUTFIT!!! my only complaint (which I see already mentioned) is the boots are velcro and a little hard to get on, which makes it nearly impossibly to not catch on the tights Mia: Seriously, I would wear this!

I just got the accessories today. I don't have Ivy, so I was upset that the earrings don't come with posts and are therefore useless to me. I mostly got this for the bag though; I was a little annoyed because the flower patch was/is only ironed down in the center, so the petals flip up... I'm going to try to iron it down later, hopefully it'll stick.

I have a PM sam and a Mattel dress. -- I just put it on Sam today for the first time to get her ready for school (dress was bought new last year from AGPNY when Samantha was being retired). The main thing that bothers me is how the bow kind of rides up, facing samantha's chin instead of out wards. sorry that sam is a mess in the picture, I just took it fast to show the bow

I have two of these, one was bought on this site, the other on ebay. Both were sent to me white, both have completely changed colors as others have stated.
C-!!

This was the first item I bought of Mattel! When I saw it at the store I fell in love, and caved. Previously I had been a PM collector. So I think that statement alone speaks for how much I like this outfit . It is so pretty. And as you can see in other's images, it has great detail. - I prefer it with the apron, but that's just me.
My only wish were that the shoes were actually wood, and not plastic. Or (if warping is a fear maybe?), more realistic looking.
I don't know if historically accurate falls in the review section, but to me it is important, so I am curious about the blue color, according to the historical section the paisley print was becoming popular, but I do wonder about this particular pattern and color, which seems a little modern to me. -- I am not a historian though, so I'm not sure.
I rate this A (no + due to the shoes being plastic).

This outfit was featured in the "spotlight savings", and so, even though I do not have a bitty twin, I thought this outfit was too cute to pass up!! I am pleasantly happy with this outfit!! My only complaint is the price (even though i got it on sale for $19), the price of $26 does seem a little steep for this outfit. I think the $19 should be the regulare price. Since this is an all-cotton, pretty straight forward pattern. I give it an A (would be A+ if the price were lower).
