I bought this when it was on sale earlier this year. I loved it as an alternative to the original Christmas dress and had been a little sad when I missed it the first time around, so I was very pleased when it came up for sale when the BeForever line was being phased out.
Dress – A+
The dress is made of a flannel-like material in a very festive plaid. I Love the colours – not too girly, but still very cute and obviously holiday-themed. It's a good contrast to the first Christmas dress.
The style feels authentic, but I’m not an expert. I absolutely love the little caplet, white collar, and four red buttons (done in accent red).
The belt is made of a red silky fabric. It feels like it would snag easily, but the Velcro is no-snag, so this hopefully won’t be a concern. I do wonder how it will hold up to play. It's sewn in, which means there's no need to tie or fasten it.
I hate the plastic tag, but won’t hold it against the dress.
Tights – A+
These are typical AG tights. They feel thick and like they’ll hold up well to play. Very versatile.
Shoes – A-
The shoes are a shiny pleather, no heels, and close with a no-snag Velcro closure. They look quite sharp. I wish that they had snaps instead of Velcro, but I like them overall. They feel like a classic part of Kit’s wardrobe. Unfortunately, I found them to be very difficult to get on – they’re slightly too small and tend to catch the tights on the Velcro.
Hair bow – A
A very basic hair bow – a silky satin ribbon tied onto a stretchy hairband.
Good Value?
I think so. I got it for $25 or so on sale. Had I paid the full $36, I might give it a harder look in comparison to the original red dress, but there are enough pieces (dress, shoes, tights – a full outfit) and the quality is high enough that I’m very satisfied for the price I paid.
Overall – A+
I think this looks really cute on Kit. I actually kind of like it better than her red dress (for whatever reason, mine fits my Kit oddly, even though it was purchased the same year I got Kit). I was really surprised that it fit my PC Kit so well! The sleeves are a little short and I can’t figure out if that’s intentional or not, but I like the rest of the outfit enough that it doesn’t bother me. The style feels unique to her collection, yet appropriate to her time period. I think it’d be difficult to use outside of Christmas because the theming is pretty strong in the colours, but I love it as an alternate Christmas dress.
Pardon the fresh-out-of-the-box wrinkles 😉
