Kit’s Birthday Outfit
Item# D7251
Aunt Millie made Kit’s green calico wrap dress from a chicken-feed sack. And the dark green piping on the dress matches Kit’s tie-back headband.
$24
From B&B Dallas:
Kit's dress is simple, summery and cute. It is made out of thin printed green cotton, white cotton and green piping. The headband is made out of the same fabric as the pipping. The dress fits my first edition, semi-cubby, green skin Kit very well.
The dress is wrap-style. I was surprised how much fabric American Girl allocated for the overlap. There is no risk of the dress opening at Kit's party.
Detail of the pipping. The collar's pattern goes all around the back.
The snaps. You need a good nail to slip under the snap to open. As of right now the snaps seem pretty study will and not easily open or fall off. The buttons are very tiny so it is a good thing that it is snaps. I'm pretty sure that neither buttons or snaps will hold up to tough play. The belt took me a minute to figure out, and so far I've forgotten about it while taking off the dress
The headband is not really a headband, it is a strip of green fabric tied under the doll's head. It was fairly easily to figure out, and looks better than Ruthie's hair ribbon. The main problem is that the knot easily shows under the Kits with shorter hair.
I really like this dress. It is perfect for the hot summer and fits the non-fussy Kit's personality a lot. The snaps and belt are enough to frustrate a younger kid but older children should appreciate the dresses appearance in the books. This dress is a lovely birthday present for girl and doll. A
Edited because one should not do reviews half asleep.
