Great Outfit. I was so happy to see that the hat and cane have some sort of coating on it so the glitter won't fall off. A.

Cute outfit. I got it as a PWP so it doesn't have the gloves. B.

*Licorice debuted in 2003 and retired in 2008. She was revised and re-released in June, 2012 and no longer has a magnetic mouth. This version retired again in 2014*
Very cute. A little sad that only his tail is posable. B.

I give the dress a C. It is a very pretty dress, but I have some problems with it. 1. It is too tight. Also I can't seemto get the sheer fabric to lay right. 2. It is too short. 3. I don't like the hair band. I wish it was just a ribbon that you tie yourself, like the original dolls. 4. I hate the shoes. I know they are supposed to be dancing slippers, but wouldn't they have some kind of sole. 5. the rouching band does not go all the way around the dress. It is only in the front. 6. The feaux skirt underneath doesn't go all the way around. I wish it was separate articles of clothing like Felicity's.
That being said, it is a pretty gown and Marisol does look pretty in it.

I was disappointed with this outfit. The hat is soft and floppy. Not what I expected. The fabric of the hat and jersey is weird. The belt is attached and doesn't go all the way around the shorts. The neckachief is the same way. C.

I have two Samantha's. One is probably older (got her off eBay). I give her a B. I'll have to try a downy dunk, but I think she has her own charm with her course hair. The second is the first AG doll I ever got in 95. She is my absolute favorite. Her eye sticks a little, but she is so pretty, I couldn't bear to part with her. A+.

I love the outfit she came with. I know a lot of people don't like her plastic meet shoes, but I do. I have seen lots of doll shoes like the ones in her shoes & socks set that were split in the back. I don't know if the AG ones are a better quality, because I didn't have them as a kid. I would have prefered black boots though. I give the outfit an A.

I like the dress. Especially with the red boots. My mom thinks it clashes, but it goes with the hair ribbons. I'm not fond of the basket. It seems plasticy and the painting is stickers. B.

One of Kirsten's best outfits. Haven't tried putting the skates on with Kirsten's new red boots. Don't have Kirsten's original boots. A.

I have the new ones. They are a weird plasticy/canvasy fabric. A little hard to put on. Still pretty. I wonder what the PM ones look like. B.

This outfit is worn by Addy in the book Changes for Addy. Released in 1995, retired in 2005.
Pretty, proud, and patriotic—that’s how Addy looked and felt in the dress Momma made for her to wear to the Emancipation Celebration party! Dotted in white and trimmed in eyelet, Addy’s deep red dress is topped with a grand sash of blue and white grosgrain ribbon. The decorative rosette frames a tiny portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Unroll Addy’s scroll and help her rehearse a passage from the historic Emancipation Proclamation.
I give this an A. Very cute. Could work for Kirsten too.

This outfit is worn by Addy in the short story "Addy's Summer Place." Released in 2003, retired in 2005.
Momma sewed this pink dress for Addy to wear on her first simmer vacation ever—a train trip to Cape Island, New Jersey, to visit Poppa. With her new curls tied up in a pretty hairbow, Addy feels grown-up indeed!
I give this an A. Very cute dress. Just wish it came with stockings or an accessory or something.

I give this outfit a B. Mine is big on the doll. I think a first for AG.

This outfit is worn by Felicity in the book Meet Felicity and in the DVD Felicity: An American Girl Adventure. It was introduced in 1998 and retired in 2003.
PC description: Felicity borrowed Ben's breeches from the mending pile and wore them to run to her secret morning visits with Penny. Her black breeches, trimmed with a set of shiny gold buttons, fasten below the knee and on the front flap. The matching black three-cornered hat is edged with a smart berry-colored ribbon.
Very nice. Could have used extra shift. A.

This set was introduced in 1991. It was initially called the Brass Chamberstick & Bed Warmer set and was sold without the book. The name changed to Nighttime Necessities in 1993 when the book was added. The set retired about 2002.
PC description of Nighttime Necessities: Light Felicity's way to bed with a make-believe candle in a brass candlestick that has a dear little heart on its handle. Then warm the sheets of her bed with the brass bed warmer. Tuck her in and read her a passage from The Little Pretty Pocket Book - a favorite of children back in England and in the colonies.
Great. Candle wick breaks easily. B.

These accessories were available from Felicity's launch in 1991 until her Meet Outfit changed in 2005.
PC description: Felicity's round-eared cap is tied with a cinnamon ribbon. Be sure she always wears it, indoors or out. Tie her garters just above her knees. Her mother made them with a special message woven into their dainty pattern. Her lace-edged handkerchief tucks inside her brocade purse. Open the drawstring and inside find her shiny coin, called a bit. Please the coral-colored beads, a popular good-luck gift for colonial girls, around her neck. Felicity needed lots of luck when she sneaked out to see her horse, Penny!
Love this much better than the new ones. A.

I really love this dress. Historically though, I don't know if the white part would be separate or not. Great colors. I give it an A.
