 Sorry about the lighting. It's the best I can do in my "doll room" which isn't that bright, so I have to use flash. My Mia has had her hair redone at AG. I got her used on eBay. |

 Here's a picture on an 18" doll. The pants have an elastic waist. The sweater opens all the way down the back with Velcro. The shoes were a tight fit and I didn't want to force them since I have to return this for a flaw in the knit of the sweater. Guess I should have checked the box before leaving the store. Hope this helps. |

 I got this on the secondary market and don't have the entire outfit. I think it's a little old for Bitty Baby and I'm not happy with the neckline since it shows the neck seam. I think a rounded higher neck would have been better. The hat doesn't fit on my AA Bitty Twin girl with her hair in pigtails. |

This looks a little better on the hanger than on my doll. The ruffles tend to curl up. And the color doesn't go with the shoes I used. Maybe it's just me.  |

 Here is my "Marianna" dressed as Cécile. I have too many America Girl dolls to consider actually getting Cécile right now. |

Photo of settee in comparison to Felicity's side table.  Sorry about the terrible picture. |

I have the older set from the 1990's and once in, it is very difficult to get the candles out. I broke some of them trying. You might want to sand down the candles a little to make them smaller.

I'm not that pleased with the hat. The brim is really high on one side. I had to go look at the catalog to see how it's supposed to be worn. Not the greatest picture, but also showing a real celluloid kewpie doll I bought for my Rebecca after I read her books.  |

Here is my #41. So far I call her "not Ruthie". I'm trying not to buy every doll whose story appeals to me, so she is standing in for Kit's friend. I already had Ruthie's meet dress since I love purple.  She's my only doll with an "x". The person I bought her from didn't seem to be doing a lot of reselling on eBay and in fact had only this doll up for auction. She also didn't mark her up a lot. I think her explanation that she needed some cash was the truth. The doll was dressed in the Star Hoodie outfit which I had the worst time getting off her. |

My Addy's bed was an eBay disaster that turned out to be free. It came with a lumpy stained mattress that I refuse to photograph. It also came in pieces which have been glued back together. I've posed her with it, and her friend Charles has valiantly agreed to lie on it.   |

I have the Pleasant Company version of this outfit, and it's a bit big on my pre-Mattel #4. I have her standing sideways so she doesn't look so wide. Mine didn't include the ribbons or hair clip. I do have the gong and firecrackers, but my poor #4 can't hold them up. Needs limb tightening.  |

Decided to change Ivy into some recently acquired items - the Puff-Sleeved Tee and the new Sporty Sandals. The tee is just a tee but I had to use the purple Real Me meet pants for a match. My Ivy sure has a lot of "junk in the trunk". That's why her New Year outfit looked so bad I sold it at a loss. Anyway, here she is in her new shoes. Just a bit tricky to get on.  |

 I've had this outfit for awhile. Just took it out of the box and put it on BB and then on my pre-Mattel #4. Got the Velcro stuck both times. The swimsuit will definitely not survive young children's play. But it works great on the 18" girls too, even the sandals. Sorry her glasses were crooked for the photo. |

I got them on my PM Molly but without a belt, the Velcro would come undone.

The belt does fit easily through the belt loops on the Roll Cuff Jeans.  |

Love the pants. First to try them was my PM Molly. It was a real struggle to get them on, and then she looked like she had saddlebags because of the pockets. I didn't want to embarrass her by taking a photo. Getting them off was just as hard. Thought I would pull her legs off with them. Put them on my Mattel #10. Much easier. Here they are together with the denim capri pants. |

 I think it looks pretty nice on a round table. Not sure if it's really suitable for Felicity's time. |

 My Windsor chair is in need of refinishing, but here it is with Rebecca's settee for size comparison. |

I just got this set in the original packing material looking like it had never been unpacked. The only piece with a sticker is the table: American Girl. I also got an extra pair of chairs, each marked Pleasant Company. The new table has the raised edge, and the new chair legs are very similar to the older chairs, just somewhat slimmer. Chairs, AG on the left and PC on the right.   |

I just got mine today. I'm wondering why they suggested buying hangers? Was that for the old one?
I haven't yet done anything with it. Just unwrapped it and sat down to dinner.

I had a terrible time getting this dress on my Ivy. I've decided to sell it. I've got the 1996 outfit coming and that should probably fit her. After all, she is not pre-Mattel. I also have a #4 who would like to wear it.

I've got 10 pins but it took four matching outfits. Here are three of the bowling team at the local bowling alley.  |

 Wildflower SetThis is my fifth or sixth try. Just can't get the hang of this board. I got this set on eBay, so don't have the book or toy. I love this set, but I love purple! The velour is so soft and huggable. And it's easy to dress the doll. The long sleeve tee closes with velcro in the back. Everything else just slips on. The only flaw is that the wool (felt?) clogs pick up lint. A for the outfit overall, but B for the clogs. (Big bear added since it almost matches. The cradle belonged to my daughter who is now 40.) |
