The Josefina I found at a yard sale yesterday came wearing this dress, without the black jacket. She has splendid taste. I've long thought this was Josefina's prettiest Regency-style outfit. I love the sweet, dainty print and lace trim. This is also one of Josefina's more versatile dresses. The neutral colors looks good on almost every doll AG makes and can pass as a modern dress as well. Worth picking up for Josefina, Caroline, or even modern girls.

Found this one on eBay in its entirety except for the scarf. I love it, and so does Molly. The twill pants fit my plump PM Molly very well (better than her tight After-School corduroys), even with the long white shirt from the 1995 meet outfit tucked in. The jacket and cap look absolutely real, from the realistic leather to the Fifinella patch.

Yes, it does lack a shirt and shoes. My Molly is wearing the penny loafers that came with the Girl Scout Uniform right now. This might work with her white School Jumper or the shirt that comes under her Camp Uniform, too.

Recommended for the jacket and pants alone for air-crazy Kit, military Molly, and modern dolls with military backgrounds.

This was the only pajamas that came with the dolls my stepsister gave me in 2009, which could be why there was two of them. It came intact, with the book and the AG Bear Slippers. The book was a little messy after all this time, but it was still readable - it's an abridged "Games and Giggles."

The pajamas themselves are simple, but have a really cute mailbox print and are made from cozy flannel that seems to have held up really well. My dolls don't wear pajamas that often, but the last time I tried this on my PM #4 Jessa, it fit just fine. It might be a little big on thinner recent Mattel dolls.

The real reason to get this is the AG Bear Slippers. They are so cute. Like the sleep shirt, they're cozy, soft, and have held up well over the years. I wouldn't mind having a pair myself.

Recommended for 90s kids or for folks looking for simple yet cozy pajamas with unique footwear.

I was delighted to find the entire set, including the original thick towel, beach ball, and cards, for a good price on eBay. What a gorgeous bathing suit! It doesn't seem too immodest to me at all. It's a well-made, soft piece that looks both contemporary and right for the mid-40s.

As I mentioned, I have an earlier version with a thicker, longer towel that Molly can actually sit on. Heck, I wish I could find a beach towel for me that was as nice as Molly's. The ball is too cute - you can really blow it up and toss it around. Yes, the necklace is a bit too big, but that's probably for safety reasons.

If you have Molly or a doll like Kanani who might look pretty in peach and needs a bathing suit, this one is worth the relatively high price tag because of the quality and all the pieces.

For some reason, my stepsister had the mid-90s version of this in her collection, despite not owning Kirsten. I'm glad. As mentioned, it's a very nice piece, very well-made. I do love the use of fabric from her real clothing (mine includes her summer and spring outfits) in the quilt design! My girls use it as an extra blanket for chilly evenings.

I also have the doll quilt, which is also cute and has held up well, but as it's so small, I seldom use it.

I was delighted to finally pick up this in an eBay lot last Christmas for my dance-obsessed Molly. I only got the dress, but that was enough to make Molly a very happy little jitterbugger! It's soft and silky and feels like a real dance costume. I too wish it was in two separate pieces - the blouse would go great with other fancy skirts and pants - but other than that, this is utterly adorable for dancers or Molly and Emily if you can find it.

Very cute outfit. I picked it up on eBay, and while it did come with the hair accessory, it only came with one shoe. Shirt and overalls fit my plump PM #4 Jessa just fine. Jess loves the shirt so much, she says she may live in it from now on. Great for Julie and both male and female modern dolls.

I bought this for my Molly the week after Christmas, but I didn't get around to putting her in it until now because it's really a spring outfit, and I wanted it for Easter. I absolutely love it. The color suits both Molly and Emily, the design is versatile and allows for mix-and-match, and it looks historically accurate as well. Yes, the shoes were a mild problem with my PM Molly and her big feet, and yes, I do wish they'd included ribbons, but otherwise, this is really cute and one of my favorites of last year's new spring historical outfits.

I found what I believe to be a PM set on eBay - it came with a hanger and a plastic burgundy garment bag with a dress picture on it along with the pants, shirt, and navy ribbons. I probably overpaid for it, since the top and bottom buttons are missing, but I've wanted this for Molly for a couple of years now. I could probably fix the buttons.

Buttons aside, I love it. The flannel shirt and corduroy pants have worn well over the years. If anything, the outfit's vintage makes it feel even more like something a real ten year old would wear to play, even now. I didn't have problems with the sleeves, but the waist of the pants were a little snug on Molly. My Molly's a plump PM doll, though - it may not even be an issue with Mattel dolls.

If you can find this used for even a remotely decent price, grab it. It's a great mix-and-match outfit - would probably be wonderful for boy customs, too.

I was also on the fence about this one, for the same reason as everyone else - the cost didn't seem to justify three pieces. I finally caved in and grabbed it when I saw an early version mint in the box on eBay, complete with the original perforated cards advertising Molly and Emily's winter outfits and accessories and a hanger.

I like it and will keep it, but my feelings are mixed. The skirt fits my PM Molly just fine, but the sweater is too tight over her School Outfit blouse. She can't put her arms down all the way! I had no problems with the buttons, and the fabric seemed like a nice, soft flannel to me.

Anyway, the skirt might be a nice mix-and-match piece, and the sweater's cute for the thinner Mattel girls.

I picked this up in mint condition on eBay for my PM #4 Jessa for Christmas. I really didn't have any interest in the modern dolls when they debuted in 1995, and I barely looked twice at this outfit. I mainly bought it for the pieces, rather than the outfit as a whole. While yes, it looks extremely early 90s when put together, it remains one of the best for mix-and-match. Jessa's wearing the vest turned to the magenta part now. It came with Grin Pins still on the cardboard, but not the velvet flats (not a huge loss, since Jess still has the velvet flats from her First Day Meet Outfit). My white shirt came with Velcro.

I got my Mini Marie-Grace for Christmas from a friend who collects historical books for children but not dolls. I think she's just darling. Her dress is so pretty, and her hair is soft and a really beautiful color. Her teeth don't bother me that much, as I have an overbite myself.

I found Miss Abigail Griddle Bear (she insisted that was her name) a few months ago on eBay. She didn't come with clothes, but otherwise, she's a beauty. I collect teddy bears, so she's right up my alley. She's soft and comfortable, yet of a good weight and well-made. She's become good friends with my slightly larger Steiff bear Brownie.

I picked this up for a good price on eBay for Molly and my PM #4 Jessa to share. Yes, the pants are much too tight. I had to struggle to get Jessa in them. On the other hand, the shirt is cute, and I absolutely adore the realistic high-top sneakers. They remind me of the Converse high-tops that were popular in the late 80s and early 90s. They even have nifty rubber tread with the original AG of Today logo on them. The yellow socks are nice and thick, too.

Highly recommended if you can find it; great for boys and girls, as well as historicals Molly and Julie.
