The BeForever version of Felicity's Accessories were introduced in February 2017 and retired in December 2019.Felicity's accessories for her Beforever release are a darling wide brimmed straw hat with blue ribbon trim, white cap, triangular fichu and a "coral" necklace. They're a lovely touch to her meet dress.

I ordered Felicity the first day she was available, and am overall happy with her. There are a few things I don't care for, but they don't really detract from the doll for me. She has a lovely face with a sweet expression. The lighting here at home is terrible today, it's giving me a yellow overcast to all my photos. So it's difficult for me to capture her pretty emerald eyes and auburn hair. I like the feathered eyebrows. Her bottom is a bit pointy at the darts, but I was able to easily squish it to a more normal shape. The new body fabric doesn't seem bad. Not great, I prefer the older fabric, but I'm Ok with it. She has the enclosed zip tie, but the lock end of it is not straining the fabric at this point. It does seem like they pulled the zip tie too tight, because Felicity has some odd gathers at the neckline. But I should be able to fix that once I switch to a neck string. Her lip paint is slightly darker than my other dolls, but I like it. She's a beautiful doll and I look forward to having fun making more outfits for her.

Felicity's new meet outfit is so beautiful. I love the deep blue color and the design of the fabric. It's woven fabric too, like Caroline's purple holiday dress. The only problem is, it easily snags on that blasted velcro and just about anything else that catches it. But once you clip the little snags threads, it blends right in and you cannot see the pull. The pleated trim on the sleeves and neckline are lovely, and I like the yellow underskirt. It's a little snug over the undergarments, but it still closed in the back. I was able to tuck the ends of her fichu in with no problems. Tug the skirt down a bit, and it doesn't look like the dreadful picture from the AG site at all. I don't think they adjusted Felicity's skirt when they took that photo. I love the color and pattern of the fabric, the trim and the style of the dress, but the snagging frustrates me, so I give the outfit a B+.

A solid A for this darling set. I'm thinking of picking up a couple more sets, one for my Mattel Felicity and one for Elizabeth. This set starts off with a simple shift, perfect for underneath those Colonial garments. Everything is well made and I like the little details, such as the multiple lines of stitching on the stays, and the lacing on the back. One thing I like, the velcro on the side of the stays. Makes it simple for putting the stays on your dolls. The bum roll is adorable. It can be a little fiddly trying to tie it snugly, but I think with practice or an extra set of hands it works nicely. It does tend to shift and slide, but it's easy to move back into place. All in all, I'm very happy with this set.

I love my Marie-Grace. She is so pretty. I really hope they'll use her face mold again.
