Garnet Holiday Outfit (2001-2002)

Your American Girl will sparkle all night long in this wonderful wintry dress trimmed in fluffy faux-fur. Bright white tights and velvety shoes add a sophisticated touch.



I've always liked this outfit and think it is a simple, nicely-cut festive dress. Its glittery garnet knit fabric is stretchy enough to fit the plumper body of Stella ( a customized JLY-2 from the Pre-Mattel era) but it also hangs nicely on a slimmer doll. It has a subtle bodice line, and velcro in the back. The tights do require gentle use, but no more so than most tights and I've never found them to be excessively snag-worthy. The shoes are a nice touch in matching plush garnet velvet. No complaints from me; it is a simple but pretty look for the holidays, so rates an A grade.
