This photo shows the difference between an authentic coat and what I am sure is a grey market coat. Note the difference in the length, fullness and buttons (they're on the wrong side on the grey market one). When I purchased Kirsten's coat on e-bay, I didn't know anything about the grey market. After learning about it through this board, I looked for a tag in my coat and there wasn't one. I didn't ask the seller about a tag because I assumed the coat was genuine and would have a tag, but it wasn't until I read here about the grey market and looked for a tag that I discovered no tag, no genuine coat. This also told me that I paid way too much for the coat. I eventually purchased another coat and knew to ask about a tag. When I received the coat, I compared it to my first one and then I saw the differences. I'm guessing that whoever produced the coats is no longer doing it, so they haven't changed the buttons to the correct side on more recent ones.

The sweater sleeves aren't full-length on BB either. The sandals are a little tight, but they do fit my doll. They velcro in the back, which helps to put them on. It makes a difference in the length of the sweater whether or not the sweater is pulled up higher or lower on the neck.

As a member requested, a photo of this outfit on an 18" doll. I did the best to make my #7 look like Molly. I like Molly's After School Outfit and thought this BT outfit would be a good substitute. But it is much better suited and styled for the Bitty Twins.

Here are pictures of the Bitty Twins Travel Set with an 18" doll. by by The set is very cute, great quality, and so much like "real people" ones, especially the suitcase. I think the size and style works for the bigger dolls. The colors and design are a younger style than the backpacks made for the 18" dolls. The main colors are red and navy blue, instead of purple, light blue, pink, tan, and the other colors that have been used in the past for the MyAG backpacks. Instead of stars for a design, these have round circles of different colors, and the hearts that are used on other BT items are embroidered on both the suitcase and backpack. The suitcase unzips three sides so that the lid folds back and opens up completely. The zipper has two pulls rather than just one pull. This makes it easier to open because the zipper doesn't have to be pulled all the way around the three sides. Each pull can open up part of it. I hope this makes sense. The suitcase can be wheeled and can also stand up. It has a loop on one of the sides, but I have no clue what it is for. It's too small to go over the doll's hand. The backpack zipper has one pull and opens at the top. It also has a handle that fits over the four fingers of the 18" doll so it can be held. There is a pocket on the outside of both of them. They're both nylon, but the sides and lid of the suitcase are hard. The backpack fits inside the suitcase for storage when they are not being used. That will help me to keep them together in one place.

Very cute earrings. There are studs with a grey cat's head, Coconut's head, pink dog bones and light green stones. There are two pairs of dangles that can be used with the dog bones and light green stones. One of them is round with a green background and Coconut's head. The other is daisy shaped with a light pink background and a darker pink paw on it.
Here are photos of the earrings being worn by Elizabeth, my only doll with pierced ears. (I hope these aren't too many photos to post.)

I'm not very good at doing extensive reviews, but I will mention a few things about this outfit. I'm also unable to post photos.
The outfit has a floral-print tee, white vest, roll-cuff jeans, pink hairband, sandals, and a "Loyal" round charm.
The best thing about this outfit is that the cuff on the jeans can be rolled down to be full-length jeans. This was a very pleasant surprise--usually anything cuffed is sewn and can't be unrolled. The AG website states that the cuffs can be rolled down, but I didn't notice that fact.
In the catalog and the main photo on the website, the tee sleeves are pushed up toward the elbows, but they are full-length long sleeves. There are also three little buttons at the neck which are hard to see in the photos. These things are in the AG website description and additional photos if you click on View larger.
Maybe it pays to read the website description and click on View larger, but I don't always do that.
The tee and jeans are not skin-tight on my newer dolls so maybe AG is listening to the complaints about clothes that are too tight. But the jeans are tight on my chubby PM Felicity. The tee is a good fit on all of my dolls.
The tee and vest are made of t-shirt fabric. The tee is neither real light-weight or heavy-weight. The vest seems to be a thinner fabric. It isn't a solid white--the fabric is made in such a way that there are horizontal lines of two shades of white. It has large arm holes which aren't apparent from the front, but is from the back. It's a little strange looking from the back, but my dolls' long hair covers it up so it isn't a big issue for me. The buttons do not button and there is no velcro to close the vest, so it is worn open.
The sandals are very cute. The bottoms of them have a flower design and American Girl embossed on them instead of just being smooth.
I am very happy with this outfit and give it an A. Lots of mix and match possibilities.
I hope this review is helpful.

For new owners of Kit's desk: Don't forget about the damage that the typewriter feet can do to the finish of the desk. There must be information somewhere on this site about it.

I also have no problem with the neckline. My dolls will wear the dress as it is, or I'll use a light pink long-sleeved tee with it. The dress fabric is like a t-shirt, so they'll go together nice.

I don't have a digital camera so I can't post a photo, but I've dressed Mia in this outfit, and it looks wonderful on her. The length is just below her knees, and the dress isn't too big around the middle. In fact, it must be awful tight on BB. With the tights, the shoes are a little hard to put on Mia's feet, but without the tights they fit perfectly.

From the AG website photos, I see that the three buttons to push to "play" the music are behind the music stand. It seems they were on the side of the original piano, but I'm not sure. Any help on this? And what would be the reason for the change?

I purchased this outfit for my 18" dolls, but can't post a photo (no camera). I'm glad another member could do that. I'm pleased with the way it looks and fits and glad I purchased it.
I had a lot of trouble trying to put the shoes on Elizabeth and finally gave up. Her feet just wouldn't squeeze into them. But when I order BB or BT outfits, I know that there's a chance the shoes won't fit. I'm always glad when the outfits have sandals rather than shoes.
The Fresh & Fruity outfit is another BB that fits the 18" dolls and is adorable! Plus it comes with sandals.
