I bought this for my Molly, who really needs a winter coat. While I agree with the general consensus that it needs socks and a blouse or shirt, it's otherwise very cute and well-done. I love the pretty embroidered flowers on the jacket, and the fleecy bib snowsuit feels so warm, I almost wish I had a pair! The boots are very realistic and fit nicely over the pair of socks that came with Molly's Miss Victory Tap Outfit. The yarn that keeps the mittens from getting lost is a nice (and practical!) touch.

I received the Mattel Riding Habit from my mother for Christmas. (Good thing she got it early, well before it sold out on AG's website!) My Felicity desperately needed winter clothes.

While the fabric is a little thin, it still looks nice and warm, and is a lovely emerald color. Yes, the edges are unfinished, but my dolls don't see a lot of rough play, so that shouldn't be a problem. The jacket is very tight; it took a little struggling to get it on Felicity over her shift. The hat is nice, with pretty braiding and a good-sized feather.

Overall, I really love it. It's very true to the period and to Felicity's stories and her tomboyish personality.

I have this! My aunt gave it to me for Christmas one year. I use the tin for a Christmas decoration with my porcelain doll display and keep the recipes and the cookie cutters out year-round. I use the cookie cutters to make Molasses Roll-Out Cookies for friends during the holidays. And the tin and cookie cutters are still in perfect shape, no denting or rusting. Well-worth looking for.

Like SailorMolly, I got this dress for my Molly off eBay as a hand-me-down. (Not to mention all of Molly's summer outfits were backordered at AG's site at the time, and she badly needed summer clothing.) I think this is one of Kit's most adorable dresses. The fabric is a little thin, but that goes with it being a warm-weather outfit. It's the most cheerful, cute print, though.

My favorite part hasn't been mentioned yet. I love that embroidered collar! It really adds a nice feminine touch to the dress.

When I got my stepsister's dolls last year, I also got the tutu, wings, headband, and one slipper. I've since gotten rid of the one slipper. I could probably find better ones at AG or on eBay.

I've kept this because my Molly loves to dance, but I agree that AG has since done much better outfits. It looks more like one of the Halloween costumes AG did in the late 90s and early 2000s. The tutu is a bit flat from being in a box for several years. The tiara is cute but hard on dolls' heads - don't expect to be able to take it off without even a little pulling of hair. The wings do stay on, but they flap around and would probably be a bit of a distraction in a real dance production.

My poor Samantha needed winter clothes, so I got this for her off eBay. It didn't come with the ribbons, but she has plenty of white and black ones that look just fine. My version is PM. It feels nice and soft, not cheap at all. It looks good on her, and it's one of the few outfits in her collection that feels elegant without being too frou-frou.

My Molly originally belonged to my stepsister. She came with her "meet outfit" skirt, sweater, dickey, and one shoe. (The other shoe, socks, underwear, and ribbons are probably lost in my stepsister's room somewhere.)

I haven't had any problems with the sweater. Yes, it's a little hard to get over her head, but it's cute and a perfect mix-and-match piece. Molly wore it last fall. I haven't tried the dickey with the sweater yet. I might put it on when she wears the sweater again, just to see if it does lay flat.

The skirt...oh, where do I begin? I keep it in the back room, where lint isn't a problem...but the Velcro's so gone, it won't fit her or my modern doll Jessa. Plus, I washed it, and I think it may have shrunk somehow. I had to give her a ribbon belt when she wore it last fall.

This seems to be what my stepsister's modern doll came in. Honestly, I think it's cute. She's missing the socks, scrunchie, and accessories, and the corduroy pants are stretched. However, everything else seems to be in good shape, including the jacket, underwear, and shoes. She wears the jacket in the winter, and the shirt and pants are great mix and match pieces. Maybe it's a bit colorful and dated for everyone's taste, but it has its uses.

My tan-bodied PM Molly is probably about '96-97ish - I got her from my stepsister. She told me Molly was her first and favorite AG doll. Molly was her baby much like Samantha was (and is) mine, and it shows. She apparently got fed up with dealing with her hair and gave her a bob haircut not unlike Kit's. She also dyed her hair with red Kool-Aid.

While she probably got into trouble for it, my stepsister actually did a very nice job on Molly's hair. It looks like it came in a bob. I washed out as much of the Kool-Aid as I could. It's not red-red anymore, but it still has slight reddish highlights. I like it. It makes her unique, and it's surprisingly cute with her gray eyes. Her hair is dry, even after a Downy-dunk, but it's not as obvious thanks to the bob.

Also surprising, given she's the most played-with of all of my dolls and her limbs are quite loose, Molly can stand on her own if you set her feet up right. Even my Sam can't manage that anymore.

Molly has more face color than Sam does, though not as much as some of the Mattel Mollys I've seen. She has the softer vinyl body and a slight tilt to her head that gives her an adorable, quizzical look. She's just such a sweetheart. No wonder my stepsister adored her.

(And she doesn't have her glasses. I really need to find some for her. My sister said she sat on them and broke them!)

I bought this dress on eBay as a warm-weather replacement for the hard-to-find retired Summer Dress for my PM Felicity. While it's not my favorite of her outfits and, like many of you, I prefer the Rose Garden Gown as a "meet" outfit, it's still very nice. The fabric doesn't bother me, either. Seems like it would be fine for a hot day in Virginia! I love the little flowers, too. They're a cute touch. Can't comment on the accessories or socks, since the eBay package only came with the dress.

One of Molly's nicest dresses, this is one of four outfits my sister had when she gave me to her, and the only one for warmer weather. She wore this all last summer. I thought the ruffles were a bit much, but they are authentic to the time period and VERY Molly! Because my sister had the dress for years, it's yellowed a bit and the crown is likely long-gone, but it's otherwise intact.

Funny that someone mentioned this could be great for a school uniform. Apparently, my sister asked for this outfit for her Molly because it looked like her childhood Catholic School uniform! When she gave me her Molly, I got this dress, too.

It's one of my favorite Molly outfits. Like her "Meet" outfit and the red hula sweater, it's one of the most versatile AG outfits ever. It looks great on a modern doll (especially as a school uniform, as mentioned) and on any historical doll from Kit onwards. The blouse can go with most of her skirts, pants, and shorts, and probably many JLY pieces as well. I don't have any fitting problems, but both the outfit and my Molly are PM. I didn't get the ribbons (they're probably long lost in my sister's messy room) - I usually borrow white or red ones from my Samantha.

Ahh, finally! When my stepsister gave me her three AG dolls last year, she also gave me a bed...and this is it.

I checked the bed itself this afternoon. The pieces themselves are good and sturdy. There's a few minor scratches on the headboard, but nothing too horrible.

The front and back boards wobble where they're connected to the bed, but that is probably due to long storage and hasty construction. (Dad's a great cruise ship captain, but he's not quite as good with tools.) They're not so wobbly that my girls can't sleep on it. The trundle was in mint condition, no wobbles or scratches.

The four girls do fit on the bed and the trundle, but the trundle does require a bit of squeezing. I've never seen anyone fall off, but the bed is also leaning against the wall.

At any rate, it's better than the 20-year-old wicker baby doll bassinet I was using for Samantha's bed.

My Rose Garden dress is one of two gowns that came with the Felicity my stepsister gave me last year before she went to college. I believe it's a pre-Mattel version. It's really my favorite of all her outfits. It's pretty without being too fancy, girly without being too ruffly, the colors looks sensational on Felicity, and the pattern is lovely and very Colonial. (The colors are favorites of mine, too, which may be why I like this so much.) My Felicity wears this as her fall/school outfit.
