Not much to add to the above reviews. Her hair is a bit thin, but otherwise a very lovely doll. She gets a solid A from me. Here are a couple of pictures   The short hairs in the back  Here are couple comparison shots of #53 and Nellie who I borrowed stole without asking from my sister.   |

Version IIII recently bought this set with the free shipping offer and decided to post some pictures of this version since there aren't any in this thread. Of course I would have preferred the version without the clumped-together food, but I guess the one good thing is the whole sandwich instead of just the half. I'd give it a B. Everything came sealed up. The set includes a red lunckbox; peanut butter and jelly sandwich; 2 celery and carrot sticks (clumped together); a pear and cookie (clumped together); and 10 paper napkins.  I tried to get the detail of the sandwich  You can kind of see the PB&J  Here's the pearcookie and celerrot   Here's Molly going in for a bite. Mmmm...

Well the closest I have to a JLY/modern doll is GOTY Chrissa. I paired Molly's jumper with a white short-sleeve blouse ( this one from Doll Clothes Shop). This outfit can definitely pass for a modern day school uniform.   |

Mine actually has a bit more give than KitandKat's, I think. It hangs past the lace around the neck of Em's Holiday Dress. This pretty much describes mine as well:  |

I bought this outfit way after the Mattel takeover and fits my PM Molly just fine (I mean with the exception of the snug fit around the waist). Scandia, you should try putting on the pants without underwear. It will fit much more better.  |

I hope you don't mind if I add my pics also. I took pics of the outfit earlier today because I saw that there were no pics included earlier.    Here's where the velco closure is visible.  The logo on the shoe. |

I also give this dress an A This dress looks absolutely adorable on Emily. It has a bow that ties in the back which adds a nice touch.   |

Here are pics of Emily's accessories.    The ration book & photos are in the scrapbook. I had a picture of them along with the three pence, but I messed it up while I was editing it.  I'll take another and post it. |

*This outfit was worn by Molly in the book Meet Molly*(The name of this outfit changed to Hula Costume in 2008)
(price increase from $28 to $34 January, 2012)
Mattel VersionThis outfit is actually more cute than I thought it would be. My sister picked it up at the Outlet a couple of weeks ago. It includes a red sweater that pulls over her head, much like her Meet sweater. It's a little thicker than Molly's Meet sweater, though. The grass hula skirt is made of a kind of plastic material and has an elastic waist. I first put the skirt on over the underwear Molly came with, but they don't work well together at all. It makes the skirt puff out. Maybe the undies that come with Molly's Underwear Set would work better under the hula skirt. This set also includes a flower lei, bracelet, and 2 flowers for her hair. Those are also really nice. They're like those fake plastic flowers that you can get at stores like Michael's. The lei and bracelet are each strung together using an elastic band. The flowers for her hair are not really clips. They stay on her hair using a peice of velcro. Finally included are a simple black mask and a paper treat bag that's big enough to make Molly seem like a greedy little trick-or-treater. Grade: A+   Hula skirt with no undies. You can't really see through it that much. Larger than life treat bag. Mask and close up of lei, bracelet, and hair accessories.

I'm not Goo, but I don't think it does. The one in the pictures looks like the newer one we have, which, yeah, it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get on Molly's head! Thanks Natasha. It looks like it doesn't have elastic. I just wanted to know if I was seeing right. I got Molly & her accessories Christmas of '95. Mine has elastic so I was just curious. I can't believe they don't make it with elastic anymore. I could only imagine how much of a pain it must be trying to get that thing on her head without elastic. |

Here is the underside of the beret. I find the hole is not as conductive to pulling the beret down over the top of her head as the images in the catalogue and on the site would have you believe. It might just be my copy of the beret, though. I don't mind because I don't put it on her that way, though. Goo, does your beret have elastic to stretch on over the head? |

*This outfit was worn by Molly in the book Molly's Surprise. It is also worn by Molly in the movie Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front*(The name of this outfit changed to Christmas Dress in December, 2008)This is a review of the Mattel version of Molly's Christmas dress. This dress is made of a really nice thick velvet material. I've never seen the PM version in person, but I'm pretty sure it measures up quite nicely to the feel of the PM version. This Mattel version also features a full round skirt that twirls when she spins around. The only difference is that the Mattel version features six buttons that go down the front of the bodice, which I think adds a nice touch. The lace is also different, which doesn't make it look as nice as the previous version but it doesn't really make it look any worse (if that makes sense).  Regardless of the lace, it's still a very lovely dress and worth buying for any doll. This dress can never go out of style. It includes cream colored ribbons for her hair. Grade: A  Full skirt makes for a beautiful curtsy. Buttons down the front. Close-up of the lace.ETA: my grade, duh.

This was also my first Molly outfit. And I also agree that this will never go out of style. Here's a closer look at the green hai ribbons:  |

My sister got his last year and its really nice. The only problem she has is w/ the locket. Hers doesn't snap close. Does anyone else has this problem? I have Molly's locket that I got back in '95 and hers is fine. Should we try to get Sam's replaced?
