Aw. I think I know why this outfit is continually on sale: I'm guessing many have returned this outfit because of that shirt. Though adorable, the waffle shirt is terribly difficult to put on the doll. Even when I finally wrested it on the doll, it looked a little goofy (crooked?). The vest gets an A+ for style and ease of use, the pants are darling (hey, I'm not saying I would wear them, but this is for a doll who is supposed to be 10! ). Darn that shirt... it's such a great set otherwise!

QnPoohBear's comments about the apron allowed me to notice that the faux button was introduced as early as 1989. I have a 1988 version with the real button clasp and a 1989 version with the faux, Velcro closure. Fun for 'picky' collectors to note!

She's adorable. A+ for getting this girl right! Her hair is shoulder length, styled with a side part that can flip under or over (like #28, though I don't own her to verify for certain). Hair color is strawberry-blonde or ginger more than true red (ie: Emily or PM Felicity) and is a near-match to Mia's--though I think Mia has more blonde streaks, which could vary by doll. Her wig is thin like Emily's or even Kit, but not as thin as #25 (or not!Jess, as I hear). The new green eyes are striking without the supernatural undertones of their predecessor. I can't quite get a clean shot of them, but the photos depict the color nicely. Her freckles have more of a Lindsey pattern than Mia (Mia has far more), and her eyebrows, while 'feathered', are darker than Mia's. And she's a short stack! Emmy towers over her, though that could be a shoe-thing, too... Enjoy the photos!

I'm on a hunt for a just-so German Lissie, and my collecting of possible candidates is a little out of control. Take the triplets, for example: I can't say no when I see a German-looking face on the secondary market! The triplets have several features I'd say are West German (common on, say, WB dolls): the face mold itself (someone more descriptive will have to help me on all that means), feathery lashes, one or both eyes gazing slightly "off" instead of center, wig caps that peek through at the crown, rosy facepaint, bronze colored eyebrows... and for Lissie, those muted green eyes with the red tinted lashes. The middle Lissie has the longest hair and the most frizzies; obviously the doll on the right has endured a haircut. The doll on the left may or may not have been trimmed...And the WG Lissie with a real haircut: Yeah, that makes 4. If you think I have too many, try talking me into selling. mod edit to remove dead image links

In case collectors would like to know, I just wanted to throw out there that I have both versions (patterns) of this dress--and they're both tagged 1989! I don't know what happened there...

I just found this again in my old stash and squealed like a kid when I put it on Emily... it's just so darling (and not pastel, as mentioned above!). I must say that in MN, that plaid shirt still hasn't gone out of style (!) and reminds me of little girls who love grabbing their Dad's cast offs. And when she can't wear jeans, a pair of cargo / khakis go with everything (did I mention the Velcro pockets have room for stashing stuff? Adorable). Great colors, great versatility. Don't love the shoes... still an A! [sorry, no pix]
