I love the colors in this set! Everything is great. The bows are shapable and the dress has cute details. It fits well and I thought I got my money's worth.

This outfit was released in 2015 and retired in mid-December 2023.
Modern-day girls from the Nez Perce tribe often dress in beautiful garments for pow-wows. This one features: A modern-day fringed dress accented with turquoise fabric and colorful embroidery, plus a woven belt and rows of satin ribbon trim, Turquoise boots with embroidered details, An embroidered hair comb with embroidered feathers
This came out in Summer 2015 with the wave of new BeForever beds, pajamas, accessories, and matching girl pajamas.
Included in the set is a fringed dress, boots, a belt, and a hairpiece. Standard for Kaya. Everything fits well. I just wish it had something else with it. But as the outfit sold for $42 alone, I got it in the holiday deal of pajamas and outfit for $40 total. That was a damn good deal and made the outfit so, so worth it. And I love that they gave Kaya another outfit.

It's cute and nice, and honestly kinda versatile. The colors are soft and different from typical AG. For a collector who won't rough around the tulle a bunch it's pretty. I still worry about snagging. The original price is ridiculous, there's not even jewelry that came with it. On sale though, it's much more comparable to other AG outfits.

Dog. I really like that the leash folds up. But other than that I don't have much critique, I don't buy AG pets.

Bought this because I am a completist. Unless it was on sale I would have never looked twice.

Like most of Grace's collection, this set is cute but underwhelming and maybe not worth the price. I finally bit the bullet when her sale right before the holidays was happening.
It includes a red knit shawl, blue heart-shaped sunglasses, and black boots. There's nothing wrong with anything, the price was just too high for too little. Most things can be worn with everything in her collection.

I am very underwhelmed with this outfit. But as I missed out on it with the drum, I decided to get it before it went away forever.
The boots and vest are very stiff and the dress material is the satin-y stuff that snags and really irritates me.

I'm just glad they didn't leave out Kaya from the hair-things.
I got this at St. Louis right after it was reported they sold out online. I was worried it wouldn't return. Look, it's already the new year and it hasn't. For 20% off it was a decent set. It includes two bright yellow satin ribbons, two plaques, and a headband. Everything is tie-able. There is no velcro. There are instructions included on how to put all of it in her hair. There is not much you can do with this set besides what the instructions tell you. I feel the other hair sets for other characters have more playability.

Grace has a bunch of little hair accessories. Retailed for $22.
Includes 4 bobby pins, 6 pony tail holders, a bow clip, a plain black headband, a clip bow made of hair. I wish it came with something to store everything in like Mia had. The hair bow is very crunchy to keep it in place, but there were still fly-aways and I would wonder how it will stand up to play in the future. It is hard to make it look good on Grace's actual head.
I tried to recreate the pics of hairstyles that AG had online, but they didn't turn out that well.

I knew I couldn't miss out on this year's full outfit, so I bought one.
I love the color on Kaya, it's very happy. The outfit is okay quality though. The satin-y fabric is very willing to snag, even on the no-snag velcro. I worry about the fringes unraveling as well. The vest is made of the same material as her original Jingle Dress' shoes, and those have become cracked and flaky. I hope the vest will not do the same thing over time. Standard hair comb. I really like the dress as a stand alone thing. The boots are nice, but aren't flat on the bottom. They have no separate soles. Just more of the same fabric.

I like that everything in this outfit is at least somewhat stretchy. It was great for the online PWP after Thanksgiving for $14.
You can fit the sweater up her legs and body. I don't like doing that, but it's better than over the head. I worry about velcro and knit though. The leggings are standard. The boots are a bit of a pain to get to go over the leggings, but not horrible. I wish they had hard soles. The headband is bland, but I like the stretchy type headbands.

I missed out on some of last year's LE outfits and didn't want to do that again. I'm glad the price point was better. I paid retail for this. Initially I thought it was going to be pretty bland, but it's gorgeous! The box has a special LE 2015 sticker on it.
The longer length is beautiful on Sam. The lace is well done. The bow lays well. The shoes are at first sight, rather dull. But work well with the outfit. The close with velcro in the back. Be sure not to snag the tights, even if it is no-snag velcro. The tights are very smooth. I like the hair bow because it sits in Sam's hair properly, but I worry about the elastic in the ponytail holder. The basket is plastic molded like wicker. It is heavier than one thinks and my Sam, who has fairly tight limbs cannot hold it without her arms falling down. The flowers are all the same but stack nicely in the basket.

Nice dress. Simple and elegant. Mine was purchased 2004-2005. I hate that it has heavy velcro. It snags the tights and the ribbon around the back. The fabric holds its shape in a full, poofy skirt way. Tights are basic. Ribbon makes a nice big bow.

Cute, but meh. This is not a super top outfit for me. The quality is pretty good, but the style is lacking. I would think I would enjoy the separates, but no. The shirt is tacky, you can't wear the leggings as pants without looking ridiculous, and the apron has to go over her head.

I really, really, realllllly wanted this travel set regardless of if I had Grace. It's so great! I love to travel and therefore my dolls love to travel.
I got this during the 20% off sale in St. Louis as soon as I heard it sold out online. The details are great and it is well worth what I paid for it. I enjoy that the silver parts are all metal. The little pieces are nice. It's stupid though that the plane tickets are the same exact seat. Really, AG? And the lock and tag are great, but where am I supposed to hang them? From the handle doesn't even look like the suitcase is remotely locked and when you put the handle down it lays funny.

I love this outfit! The quality is great and it's super cute. I love the separates. It can be casual or fancy. I worry about the sequins snagging the tulle, but I keep them separate. I like that the skirt doesn't have velcro. I wish it came with some sort of small accessory.

I got this with my Grace doll during Labor Day weekend. The store was dead and within an hour to close when I was there. I picked out my Grace and some other things and went to the register. The cashier asked if I wanted the earrings and I did then paid. So she said she'd be right back, and was very quick. She returned with Grace's ears pierced and earrings!
Worth it for $16. I'm a sucker for exclusive things.
I did think it was a mistake at first that they'd give you two sets of red hearts. But it's ok. I liked that I didn't have to take my doll to the Salon, but I guess anyone can drill holes in their heads real quickly!

What a great set for $51!
I love everything about this set. It's my favourite! So glad the chair is metal. Grace sits in in without falling, even if it isn't very Grace-ful. Ha! The table setting is great. I love the carafe. I haven't used the stickers yet, but the sign is a nice accompanying thing. If on display, it doesn't fall over.

I think this set is a must-have for Grace! It will go well with the AGoT Baking Set from long ago (2002). For $34, everything is very worth the price. The original price would give me an aneurysm if I had to pay that much for so little.
I thank the previous reviews for mentioning how to get the stylus out of the tablet.

Grace is my second GOTY that I own. I got her during Labor Day weekend in St. Louis.
I did and did not plan to get her at all. My mom's name is Grace and she loves the French Patisserie in Epcot, so I thought it would be cool. And I love baking, even though I'm terrible. She is my doll that I bought with my first summer internship money!
She's beautiful. Her hair is gorgeous and flowy. It's difficult to style because of the layers, and I don't want to take out her braid. I love her look. She doesn't seem as spacy as some of my other dolls. Her gaze is very warm and focused.
Her meet outfit is cute. I wish the colours were slightly more in tune with the rest of her collection. White top, bleh.
Her underwear is pink. Plain.
But let's be real. We're all here for the bracelet. Just rip it off the side of the box.

Just another picture of the shift. It's near impossible to decide what is the front and what is the back. Pick one. It looks like Petra's about to be baptised.

I've had this since about 2003 and it's held up very well. No aging to note of. The fur is soft and the ties are intact. The moccasins are snug and difficult to tie just right, but once you get them on they look so nice. The cape lays on her shoulders well. The hood fits her braids and ties snugly. A great set!

One of my favourite outfits that AG has made. I love the style as it's more mature than most other outfits. The black is appreciated.
I didn't like how the sweater had little threads all over it. I was worried that the headband would be too small, but it fits wonderfully and I'm really glad it didn't have one of those outrageously big tags on it!
Grade: A

I got this necklace from my aunt and uncle who used to frequent MCM. So not sure exactly where it came from or was originally sold. The pictures are what the necklace was sold in. The necklace was a thin silver chain with five light blue plastic cubes affixed evenly spaced towards the front of the chain. The box is heavy metal. The lid is metal with four blue starry translucent squares. It doesn't latch or fit super snugly on and is not supposed to.

Got this a while ago (2002) from my aunt and uncle who used to frequent MCM. There was no definite consensus on where it was from. It's a frosted purple five-point flower frame. The window measures 2"x2". At each point is a small metal flower with a rhinestone by then. It's pretty heavy for what it looks like and is good quality.

Includes two flower wall plaques, plant with hook and hanger, furry boa, green purse, foot rug, and three wall hooks.
YRA2 $20
Found these parts in a room at Goodwill. One of the flower wall plaques and two hooks were stuck on the walls. They are cute and stay on the walls well.

Groovy Decor Set Includes three reversible wall panels, a ceiling with crown molding, a parquet wood floor with baseboard trim, and a window with a beaded curtain and reversible scene. YRW $32
This set- the walls, floor, ceiling, moldings, baseboards, and window- was attached to the room when I got it at Goodwill. Once I played around with everything, I saw the quality in it. The parquet wood floor was originally upside-down but then I flipped it over and it is beautiful! The pieces all fit together in a certain way, I found, to keep everything in place. Put in this order: floor, ceiling, back wall, side walls. The wall patterns are cute, although I wish you could have one side wall be green and the other side wall be pink. Alas, the side walls must be matching in order to fit the room properly. The ceiling holds up with two magnetic strips. The other side that actually shows is just white.

All the decorating magic happens inside this wooden display box. Walls are magnetic so panels and trim attach and can be moved easily. Box is electrified so lights really work! • Magnetic interior walls • Pre-wired with seven tiny outlets • Plug-in transformer • Detachable feet • Two stacking pins W:14", H:12 3/8", D:11". Cannot be gift-wrapped. YB $48 later $52
Found this at Goodwill and since it's AG anything I got it. Paid $1.99 for it. It's in good condition, just don't have the transformer for it. So I'm gonna look into it some more to find a compatible one if I ever get any accessories. Sturdy, and the feet come off plenty easily. Taking the feet off. The holes on top to stick the stacking pins inside of. The back where the transformer attaches.

It's great quality and the pieces are quite realistic.
