Addy's Summer Dress and Straw Hat
Grade: A -
This outfit is really adorable. I love the print, which suits the time period yet is still cheery.
The broach adds a nice touch, though I do think it's fragile and will probably fall off of a pin easily. Anyone getting this outfit for a young girl might be advised to remove the broach and put it somewhere safe (like a jewelry box) until the girl is older.
The hat is a nice accessory. Honestly, at this point, I feel like I have oodles of straw hats from America Girl. I only start minding when it seems they recycle the same hat with different ribbons. However, this one is a little shallower than some of the others, and the checked ribbon is a cute detail. I think it's quite authentic to the time and it's different enough to other straw hats so as not to feel redundant.
