Mettalics, perriwinkle, rib knit, and jumper - check! As Wickfield pointed out, this is a perfect millennium outfit. Sarah Elizabeth is my c. 2000 girl, and purple is her (my) favorite color, so I was delighted to find that the pop-up store carried this. I paired it with the purple suede mary janes from the old Denim Jumper outfit, but they still look a little too dark. Maybe tights would help. The zipper pull on the jumper is made from the same elastic that is around the openings. It's a cute look, but I could see this getting stretched out really easily if it is always being pulled on. I've been pulling the zipper itself to avoid this.

So sweet in pink! This adorable outfit includes a light-pink tee with pretty embroidery and a versatile black tweed skirt.This outfit was only available during Cyber Monday 2016. It was on sale for $12 (with a lost price of $20). The skirt is made of the same black and white tweed as Grace's City Outfit shorts. The waistband is flat in the front and gathered in the back. The shirt is pale pink with a mauve and white embroidered design of flowers and butterflies. The sleeves are slightly gathered at the top. I was pleasantly surprised at the material; it is like a polo shirt rather than a regular t-shirt. It fits a bit snug on my 2004 doll, though. The shoes are the silver bow sandals from Grace's Sightseeing Outfit. This feels like a little less of a deal than the other Cyber Monday exclusive (Sequin Skirt Outfit) because it doesn't have an accessory, and the skirt and shoes are repetitive for those with Grace's collection. It also doesn't feel cohesive as an outfit. They are still good separates, though, and it is a smart way for AG to deal with surplus materials.

Her doll is ready for a little party in this outfit. It includes a white tank with pretty embroidery and stitching details, a black sequined skirt, red shoes and a headband with a bow.This outfit was only available during the 2016 Cyber Monday sales, for $12 (with a given list price of $20). The black gathered skirt is covered in small sequins. They seem to be well-sewn on, though it did shed a few broken pieces from around the edges. It's definitely a dressy skirt. The fabric matches the black sequin section from Grace's Sightseeing Outfit shirt. The sleeveless shirt is woven cotton with a red and pale pink embroidered flower design in the center and red top-stitching around the edges. I love the concept, as AG does very few woven tops. However, the shirt is incredibly tight around the chest, so much so that I could barely get it to Velcro. Around the hem it is I don't know if this is a flaw for my specific shirt or a general trend, since this was likely a small production run. The red flats are AG's standard cut. They are a great wardrobe basic, though. The headband seems on the small size, as is also typical for AG. It stay on, but the ends stop above the ears so it is impossible to get all of a doll's hair behind the headband. The red grosgrain bow is a really cute touch, though. Overall, the outfit is cute separates that will mix well with other AG clothing I own, especially Grace's collection.

I was really impressed with the quality of this sweater, and the working buttons. My only complaint is that it's snug on a current doll; I wouldn't even try to put it on one of my linebacker PM girls. Here it is paired with the Sweet School dress. I think it would look cute with leggings as well.

I was trying to go for a vintage vibe with this one, though I think it still looks a little young. I never had a bitty, but I loved looking at them in the catalog, and this dress was always one of my favorites. It has an heirloom look about it, to me.

The mini power beads are one of my favorite AG accessories ever. They look exactly like the ones I friends and I used to wear.

When this catalog first came out, I loved the idea of mix and match outfits, and I think they AG pulled it off really well. I used the shirt from the Denim Jumper outfit here, and draped the cardigan to show off the sleeves. I got this set used, and the white shirt seemed a bit yellowed, though that may have been the original color.

As the name suggests, these are definitely basics, designed to be everyday wear or mixed and matched with the Drawstring Cargoes and Plaid Skirt and Sweater sets. On its own, it can look a little plain; I always have to add a necklace, and sometimes the hoodie from the cargo set. On the other hand, this is definitely very similar to what I wore around the millennium, flared jeans and rib knits. I didn't have a problem with the fit of the jeans, but I do agree that the top looks unfinished, especially from the back. I always keep it tucked in because the velcro stops about halfway down. I'd give this outfit a B; nothing wrong with it, but nothing special.[/a]

I found this by chance on eBay looking for a different pink bitty dress, and fell in love. I think it works perfectly as a 50's-style dress for #21, Marcy. The fabric is really nice--it has some texture to the weave, and enough weight to hang nicely. Marcy is wearing it with a petticoat underneath. The sleeves have little bows, and there are tucks at the waist and hem. I can't speak to any of the other pieces in the set, as I only have the dress, but it gets a definite A from me.

I would never have known about this dress if it hadn't been on Spotlight Savings during the last free shipping--which is a shame, because it's seriously cute. The dress and hat fit Marcy perfectly. For reference I believe she's from 2001 so it might be looser on newer dolls. The shoes also fit, because they are entirely made of a pleathery material, but they don't look like shoes a ten-year-old would wear. You can also see the outline of her toes.
It's definitely a summer dress because the material is on the thin side. I'm not usually a fan of the color orange but this is a more subtle shade and actually quite pretty. The ribbon trim on the hat is a slightly darker shade than the dress, with a bit more of a coral tone.
The set also came with a Bitty Twins picnic book; I have no use for it but I guess it's nice that they are encouraging reading.

The skates and the roses have both held up very well, and the skates are easy for a child to get on and off. They have a lot of play value. The set does feel skimpy, though. I would have preferred that AG drop the roses and combine the skates with the skating outfit.

The set consists only of the outfit itself and the matching barrette, but the outfit is very high quality. It is a purple sparkly spandex, and surprisingly the glitter does not get all over the doll or my hands like I was afraid it would.
My neighbor has this set when we were younger, and we played with it all the time. It was one of my favorites. I recently tracked one down for my PM #8 Meg. It is very snug on her; you can see the snaps straining in the back. I don't remember a fit problem with my neighbor's, so maybe Meg is just chubbier than Felicity.
For the barrette, you have to put the ponytail in between the clip and the curved metal part. It reminds me of the shoelace loop barrettes I had as a little girl.
I do wish AG had sold this bundled with the accessories, and it doesn't make sense to have either by itself, but maybe they didn't want a high price tag on a single set.

As a pastel person I loved this whole summer collection when it came out. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten a girl-sized version if it was available. Sarah Elizabeth still wears this all the time.
The plaid seersucker is perfect for summer, and the shoulder ties complete the casual look. The purple t-shirt is a very soft cotton. I like to pair it with denim as well. I never used the clips because of S.E.'s hairstyle. They look just like the ones I had then, though. They match surprisingly well given that green and orange aren't actually in the jumper.
The shoes are cute but very similar in construction to the Earth Day sandals--meaning that they don't stay on for play very well. They never bothered me but might be a problem for others.
Overall it's a great casual outfit for hot weather, and a good reminder that girly doesn't have to mean pink.
