I recently purchased Ruthie's holiday dress when it was $19 on the daily deals. I thought people would be interested to see it on Kit (Kit's red holiday dress is on backorder at this time until Jan. ) My Kit is a Pleasant Company doll, but the Mattel dress seems to fit ok and it looks cute on her. The headband is a little wonky, but I know it was made for Ruthie's hair vs. Kit's- I pulled it a bit forward over her ears, so her hair would drape a bit better. It's a great little dress!

Congrats on getting the school outfit! I love this outfit as well, and am thinking of getting another one for Felicity to wear at Pumpkin Hill Academy. I love Molly's school out fit, but this one is more classic of what I think of as a school uniform for a Catholic school. I too, use the black stockings with this outfit vs. the white ones.

actually, I have seen these foods replicated in Colonial Williamsburg, so it wasn't surprising for me. Eating these at Felicity's tea lessons would have been the way to teach her gentile manners as a lady in the 18th century. The way they ate at parties and balls, was much different than today- take in mind the fork was a relatively new fangled invention. Sugar was expensive so the cakes and flummery was a way to show off your wealth- hence the tea caddy with Felicity's tea set. Many tea caddies had pride of place- this was the revolutionary era when tea was taxed.

I'm not sure that the bed is that historically accurate. It's the 40's and ln war time, I would think they would have had a plain metal bed like Kit's myself. I have never really liked the bed, but definitely love her table and chairs.

The laptop accessories are really cute. The clings come off of their paper backing and stick to the screen, or 'cling' there. The bunny is cute, but the leash is on to stay- I don't see myself using the bunny that much except for scenes, etc. The laptop does fit snug into the bag, but I liked the quality of the bag very much, and also the letter and envelope fit into the bag too. I do not have Lanie yet but will probably buy another set because it would be cute to have the dolls working on their computers in a classroom/library scene.
This set works well with other dolls such as MSD-sized ball jointed dolls, I can take pics of my bjd with the laptop, which she is busily blogging on now..lol.
I agree on one thing- in previous years they made the mini laptops as calculators, but it is a very realistic prop and I would buy it again- A for quality and price.
