Kit is only the second brand new doll I've purchased from AG myself, extra special because I bought her the day before my cousin's wedding in Columbus. It was my first ever trip to an AG store, and I was very excited to bring a doll home that I had chosen myself.
I love Kit's meet story and despite being past the target age group, look forward to reading the rest of her series.
Once home however, Kit just didn't...stand out. I had her on the shelf with Molly and Lanie, but felt rather meh about her. I think, cute as it is, it's her meet outfit. I tried a few different shirts with the skirt but just didn't like any of them.
So I switched her into Lanie's meet dress since it matched and barrette, and BAM! More tomboyish looking, adorable Kit is now a permanent fixture in my apartment. I can't believe I ever considered returning her!
Her meet outfit is very well made, with snaps in the back of the undersweater shirt and buttons on the front of the cardigan. Her skirt comes up high as was appropriate for her time, and her underwear are just...well, underwear.
Her shoes have small buckles that look like they really function-but in fact it's just clever velcro placement.
The doll herself has very short, soft blonde hair. It tends to get flyaways and I'm being very careful not to disturb her original style or barrette. I like her much, much better in Lanie's outfit.
