Kit wore this outfit in the movie/DVD Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. It was released in 2009 and retired in 2015.
When Kit’s hot on the trail of a news story, she stays cool and comfortable in this outfit:
A floral dress with a wide collar, bright red trim, and a belt at the waist
A red headband to sweep back her hair
White socks and red shoes with swirly stitching at the toes. $28
Kit's Reporter Outfit comes with a white dress, white socks, red Mary Jane shoes, and a plastic red headband.
The dress is white with springs of blue, red, and yellow flowers. The cap sleeves have keyholes with pre-tied, permanent red bows. The bodice of the dress has red bias trim. I found the bodice to be rather long. The skirt is also long. Compared to the birthday dress and spring play dress, this dress seems large. Perhaps it was made for Kit to grow into?
The socks are plain, ankle-roll socks. Very serviceable. The Mary Jane shoes are thin and red, but the interiors are white so they (hopefully) shouldn't stain. They have little white whirl decorations on the toe.
The headband is transparent red plastic. It's made large enough that a child probably won't break it trying to get it over a doll's head in play.
Grade: B
ETA: I thought it was too long and the belt was oddly placed. So, I had my mother remove the belt and shorten the dress to match the length on Kit's Birthday Dress.
The finished result:
