Felicity was once my sister's, but I have since adopted her.
Felicity has the gorgeous red hair of PM dolls, and I love her dearly. My sister regularly played with her hair and over the years it has dried out, and she has lost about half of her pincurls. I have yet to re-do them. her eyes are bright green, and can be a little odd close up, but are really gorgeous with her red hair.
I really love her meet dress, much more so than the purple travel gown that has replaced it. It is classic and sweet, and really is perfect for the time period. Her cream hair ribbon is very darling, also.
Felicity's shoes fit either foot, as is true of the time period. I can't remember if her buckles were shiny when new or not, it seems they've dulled over time. I can't remember, though.
Felicity's stockings are thick and stay up very well on their own, without the garters from her meet accessories. Her shift is thin and could serve as a nightie, and fits under any clothing (with some adjustment so it doesn't show). The low, wide neck has elastic and the sleeves are short.
Overall: Though old, she has held up well over time, despite dry hair. Be careful of her pincurls, as they are easily lost while styling, but also easily found again and can be recurled. I absolutely love her red hair and she will always hold a very dear, special place in my collection as the first American Girl doll I was ever exposed to.
Grade: A+++++++
