I. LOVE. This. Outfit. I think it may be my favorite AG outfit...definitely my favorite 20th century historical outfit. & Kit looks gorgeous in it! I am especially in love with the hat. I want that hat for myself! I was a little nervous about how AG would do a cloche, but this hat is just stunning. It holds its shape beautifully. I love everything else about the outfit too. The blouse is elegant, especially with the sweater, the skirt is thick & is the perfect demure length but still allows the pink edging on the tops of the socks to peep out...
The one thing I do not love is the shoes. They're adorable, don't get me wrong, but I had the worst time getting them on Kit's feet. I don't have an older Kit. I got my Kit from AG last summer (2010). Unless I got some old Bigfoot Kit that had been laying around the warehouse for the last ten years, I don't know why I had such a hard time with the shoes. It took me literally about half an hour to squeeze Kit's feet into them. & I am an adult woman! I can't imagine a seven-year-old struggling with the same task. Kit looked great once her shoes were on, but I am actually concerned that she's going to have to be re-strung soon because I twisted her legs around so much trying to get her shoes on. I kept thinking, "Dear God, what if this was an actual human baby I was trying to shod?" & then I felt bad.
So, A+++ for the outfit, & C for the shoes.
